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.

Mayor Eric Adams, whose corruption charges were dropped so he could help with deportations, is among the defendants in the suit, which argues the federal government has sole power over immigration.

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.
