DOJ Sues New York Over ‘Sanctuary’ Status as AG Pam Bondi Declares: ‘It Stops Today’

D.C. (Dist. of Criminals), February 12, 2025 — Attorney General Pam Bondi has launched a landmark lawsuit against New York state, Gov. Kathy Hochul, state AG Letitia James, and DMV chief Mark Schroeder, targeting sanctuary policies that shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement.

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi declared at her first press conference in Washington, D.C. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”

Trump Administration Escalates Legal Fight Against Sanctuary Policies
The lawsuit against New York follows similar legal action against Illinois and Chicago last week, where the DOJ argued that sanctuary policies obstruct federal law enforcement and discriminate against federal immigration officers.

“New York didn’t listen,” Bondi said bluntly. “So now, you’re next.”

On her first day in office, Bondi also froze all DOJ funding for 60 days to sanctuary jurisdictions from New York to California. In 2023 alone, New York City received over $1.56 billion in law enforcement grants. Bondi’s move halts more than $8 billion in expected federal funds for the city in 2025.

Additionally, Bondi barred DOJ contracts or grants from funding NGOs that provide aid to illegal aliens, including those offering legal assistance, housing, and other resources.

Mass Deportations Underway, Criminal Migrants Sent to Gitmo
As Bondi cracks down on sanctuary states, border czar Tom Homan has escalated immigration enforcement, deporting 11,000 migrants with criminal charges or convictions since taking office.

Some of the most dangerous offenders have been flown to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, while others have been deported back to Venezuela and Colombia—the latter facing new U.S. import taxes if deportations are blocked.

Trump’s First Bill Forces Sanctuary Cities to Deport Criminal Migrants
Congressional Republicans in blue states have long fought to abolish sanctuary policies, pointing to violent crimes committed by migrants shielded from deportation.

Upon returning to office, Trump’s first signed bill was the Laken Riley Act, requiring local governments to cooperate with ICE in deporting illegal migrants charged with theft, assault, or other violent crimes.

The law is named after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student murdered by an illegal migrant with prior theft charges. The suspect, Jose Ibarra, a Tren de Aragua gang member, had been released into the U.S. under the Biden administration after crossing the southern border.

The Fight Against Sanctuary Cities Intensifies
With Trump’s DOJ, DHS, and ICE now aligned, sanctuary policies are under full-scale attack, and Bondi has made it clear:

“The days of cities putting illegal migrants above law-abiding Americans are over.”
