The Department of Justice on Thursday filed a lawsuit against New York City Mayor Eric Adams over the city’s sanctuary policies that the Trump administration says led to an assault on a federal immigration officer.
A suspect in the country illegally with a lengthy criminal record was accused of shooting an off-duty Border Patrol officer during an attempted robbery Saturday. The incident led to outrage from senior Trump officials over New York City’s long-standing sanctuary policies, which extend certain protections to illegal immigrants and prevent authorities from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
