The Department of Justice has sued New York Mayor Eric Adams, challenging local "sanctuary" policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It wants New York City's sanctuary policies to be declared unconstitutional, saying they impede the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The mayor has repeatedly said he wants to work with the Trump administration, not “war with” them. But he has still been at odds with the feds on multiple occasions since January.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams over its sanctuary city policies, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi. In a post on social media Thursday afternoon, Bondi said Adams and the city are “continuing to obstruct law enforcement” with the sanctuary city laws in place.
