New York City Councilors Ask DOJ to Sue City Over ‘Sanctuary’ Laws

(The Center Square)—A bipartisan group of New York City councilors are asking the Trump administration to take the city to court over its “sanctuary” laws, alleging the restrictions are shielding “criminal aliens” from apprehension and putting the public at risk.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, seven members of the Council’s Common Sense Caucus ask the Justice Department to file legal action against the city over its policies that restrict cooperation by the New York Police Department and other law enforcement with federal immigration crackdowns.
The councilors noted that the DOJ is already suing New York state over alleged violations of federal statutes “by impeding communication between state and federal authorities on immigration enforcement.”
“We ask the DOJ to expand this legal action to include New York City’s so-called ‘sanctuary city laws,’ which shield criminal aliens from federal immigration authorities, place the public at risk and severely undermine efforts by the Department of Homeland Security and our own law enforcement agencies to coordinate on issues of national security,” they wrote.
