President Donald Trump’s administration has sued Los Angeles, claiming the city is obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws and creating a lawless environment.

The Justice Department is suing the city of Los Angeles over its so-called “sanctuary city” policy passed in the weeks following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election victory that prevents city resources from going toward immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump's administration sued Los Angeles on Monday over policies limiting city cooperation with federal immigration authorities, continuing a confrontation over the Republican's deportation efforts in a largely Democratic city.
