Trump’s administration announced on Wednesday that it was suing the state of New York over its migrants’ policies and accused civil servants of prioritizing “illegal extraterrestrials over American citizens”.
In particular, the General Prosecutor Pam Bondi cited at his first press conference in New York, which allows people in the state to obtain a driving license regardless of citizenship or legal status.
Mrs. Bondi, lined with federal agents in Raid Jackets, promised to end these practices.
“She stops,” Mrs. Bondi said. “It will stop today.”
Government spokesman Kathy Hochul immediately did not comment and copy of court proceedings was not immediately available in federal trials.
Mrs. Hochul was supposed to head for Washington for a hastily organized lunch at the White House with President Trump, but the trip was canceled as soon as Mrs. Bondi announced her intention to sue Mrs. Hochul and the state, according to a well -known Governor’s plans.
The court action was a fresh salvo in the efforts of the Federal Government to enforce more cooperation in the enactment of Mr. Trump’s immigration agenda. Administration has already filed a similar call against democratic officials in Illinois. Cities in California, Oregon and Connecticut, in turn, sued the administration of their efforts to deny the financing of locations that do not provide all the help that requires unoccupied immigrants in detainment and deportation of undocumented immigrants.
The dispute revolves around the difference between state and federal laws. Immigration and deportation are federal responsibility; States and cities often adopt laws to ensure their inhabitants that cooperation with police and local authorities will not express immigration authorities.
Similar efforts in the first term of office of Mr. Trump to eliminate funding from local jurisdictions failed in courts. Mrs. Bondi predicted that this would be successful because the Supreme Court would eventually ruin in favor of administration.
This announcement served as a warning shot not only in New York and Illinois, but in other unspecified states proposed by Mrs. Bondi, will also be sued.
“If you are a state that does not follow the federal law, get ready, get ready,” said Mrs. Bondi. “It is a new impression and we are taking steps to protect US citizens.”
Molly Biklen, the legal director of the New York Union of Civil Freedoms, called the submission of “gross intrusion into constitutional law in New York for legislation in areas traditionally as part of her concerns”.
