DOJ Files Lawsuit Against New York Over Immigration Policies
The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated legal action against New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, regarding state immigration policies. The lawsuit, spearheaded by Attorney General Pam Bondi, accuses the state of favoring undocumented immigrants over U.S. citizens, specifically targeting laws that allow immigrants without legal status to access driver’s licenses. This move comes amid broader criticism from the Trump administration regarding sanctuary policies in New York. As tensions rise, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is scheduled to meet with Border Czar Tom Homan to discuss the implications of the lawsuit and potential changes to immigration enforcement in the state.
