The Justice Department on Thursday announced a lawsuit against New York City’s so-called sanctuary city policies, days after the Trump administration blamed those policies for the shooting of an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer in Manhattan.

The Trump administration on Thursday sued New York City over local laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, saying the statutes unlawfully thwart immigration arrests and conflict with federal immigration law.

Mayor Eric Adams, whose corruption charges were dropped so he could help with deportations, is among the defendants in the suit, which argues the federal government has sole power over immigration.
