The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against New York City, alleging that its sanctuary policies unlawfully block federal immigration enforcement and violate U.S. law. The complaint, submitted in Brooklyn federal court, targets local statutes limiting cooperation with federal authorities, claiming they undermine efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.
President Donald Trump, seeking to intensify his crackdown on illegal immigration, has long clashed with Democratic-led cities like New York. The lawsuit follows a recent incident where two undocumented migrants allegedly shot an off-duty customs officer during a robbery attempt in a city park, fueling criticism of local sanctuary policies.
Defendants in the suit include Mayor Eric Adams, who is running for reelection in November as an independent after leaving the Democratic Party. Adams has voiced partial support for the city’s sanctuary measures but has urged the City Council to revise them to allow cooperation in cases involving violent offenders — a proposal the council has rejected.
The Justice Department highlighted that New York City jails honored only 4% of federal immigration detainer requests in fiscal 2024, illustrating what it described as systemic noncompliance. Trump officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, have accused Adams of failing to ensure public safety, urging voters to consider candidates committed to stricter enforcement.
The lawsuit comes months after federal prosecutors unexpectedly dropped corruption charges against Adams, a move a judge later described as questionable. Meanwhile, liberal Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who secured the party’s nomination in June, has emerged as the frontrunner in the mayoral race, setting up a heated election centered on immigration and public safety.
The case underscores escalating tensions between federal authorities and New York City over immigration enforcement policies ahead of the 2025 election season.
