The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Illinois and Chicago, alleging that they are interfering with federal immigration enforcement efforts. This action is the latest development in the ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Democrat-led cities and states over immigration policies.
The Department of Justice ( DOJ ) filed a lawsuit against the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago on Thursday, alleging that they obstruct federal immigration enforcement. This action marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and Democrat-led cities and states regarding the administration's mass deportation program. The lawsuit, filed in Illinois, targets Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and other officials.
It asserts that several state and local laws are intentionally designed to hinder and discriminate against the Federal Government's implementation of federal immigration law, violating the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. This legal challenge follows a directive signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi the previous day, aiming to restrict funding to sanctuary cities. Sanctuary jurisdictions generally prohibit or limit cooperation between state and local law enforcement agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. Detainers are requests for the transfer of individuals suspected of being undocumented immigrants who are in custody to ICE. This situation is developing rapidly, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
