DOJ announces lawsuit against New York, Hochul and state AG James over ‘sanctuary’ status

 The Justice Department announced Wednesday it was suing New York state over its policy of limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with Gov. Kathy Hochul, state AG Letitia James and DMV chief Mark Schroeder in AG Pam Bondi’s crosshairs.

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi announced. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”

Bondi filed lawsuits against the state of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Leticia James, and the DMV chief.

“As you know, we sued Illinois,” Bondi added. “New York didn’t listen. So now, you’re next.”

Last week, the Justice Department asked a federal judge to immediately strike down sanctuary policies in Illinois and Chicago, arguing state and local officials “are an obstacle to the Federal Government’s enforcement of the immigration laws and discriminate against federal immigration enforcement.”
