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 has sued the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass and the LA City Council over its sanctuary city policies, which the DOJ claims hamper the president’s crackdown on 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.
