3:35Now PlayingThe U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New York City, its mayor and several other officials to challenge the city's sanctuary city laws.
The lawsuit alleges that New York City's sanctuary policies "have allowed dangerous criminals to… commit heinous crimes within the community" and argues that the policies are "unconstitutional."
The Justice Department says that these sanctuary laws have made it more challenging for federal immigration officers to carry out their duties and have put ICE officers at considerable risk of physical danger.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi commented on the lawsuit in a post on X.
"New York City has released thousands of criminals on the streets to commit violent crimes against law-abiding citizens due to sanctuary city policies," Bondi said in the Department of Justice's press release.
Some of the New York City officials being sued by the Department of Justice include New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and the New York Police Department.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued a statement in response to the lawsuit: "The job of a mayor is to protect the safety of every single person in their city… That’s why the mayor supports the essence of the local laws put in place by the City Council — but he has also been clear they go too far when it comes to dealing with those violent criminals on our streets and has urged the Council to reexamine them to ensure we can effectively work with the federal government to make our city safer. So far, the Council has refused. We will review the lawsuit."
