In a major legal move, the Trump administration has initiated a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, along with Mayor Karen Bass and the City Council, over its sanctuary city policies. The federal government claims that these policies obstruct cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and contributed to unrest following anti-ICE protests. The Justice Department argues that the city’s refusal to comply with federal immigration enforcement is discriminatory against federal agents and undermines national immigration laws.
