The U.S. Department of Justice is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams over its sanctuary city laws, 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.

The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New York City challenging its sanctuary city laws. It comes less than a week after a Customs and Border Patrol officer was shot in Manhattan by an undocumented immigrant.

New York City’s sanctuary city policies are unconstitutional and make it harder for federal immigration officers to do their jobs, the US Justice Department says in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday.
