US EditionDOJ sues New York City over 'sanctuary' immigration policies
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 24 – The DOJ alleges New York City’s sanctuary policies obstruct federal immigration enforcement and threaten public safety, citing a recent shooting involving an undocumented migrant.
- In a lawsuit filed Thursday, the Department of Justice sued New York City in the Eastern District of New York, naming Mayor Eric Adams, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, and Department of Correction Commissioner Lynette Maginley-Liddie.
- The city’s sanctuary ordinances, in place since 1989, bar NYPD and Corrections from turning over detainees to Immigration and Customs Enforcement without a judicial warrant and recent violent conviction.
- Among the examples cited, a migrant from the Dominican Republic accused of grand larcenies in The Bronx was involved in a shooting in an upper Manhattan park over the weekend, NYPD officials said.
- Meanwhile, Tom Homan vowed to `flood the zone` with ICE agents, while Kayla Mamelak Altus said the mayor supports reexamining laws to improve cooperation.
- Looking ahead, lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice assert the sanctuary laws violate the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, and the Trump administration previously sued New York State over its green light law enabling driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants.
