The lawsuit, filed in California’s Central District federal court, accuses sanctuary cities such as L.A. of hindering efforts to address a 'crisis of illegal immigration.'

The Trump Administration is suing Los Angeles over sanctuary city policies that limit the city’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, claiming that they led to “lawlessness” when thousands of people took to the streets earlier this month to protest the President’s mass-deportation operation.

What does the city’s vision for its citizens look like when put face-to-face with the federal government’s agenda? Los Angeles is once again the epicenter of this question, as Mayor Karen Bass and Immigration and Customs Enforcement throw hay publicly regarding sanctuary city policies and immigration enforcement in California’s future.
