Attorney General Pam Bondi has made headlines by announcing that the DOJ is suing New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder. The lawsuit focuses on New York’s sanctuary policies, which Bondi claims are failing to enforce federal immigration laws and endangering American citizens.
She cited the tragic story of Tammy Nobles, whose daughter was killed by an MS-13 gang member, as a stark reminder of the risks associated with these policies. Bondi also mentioned that Illinois has faced similar legal challenges.
The DOJ aims to hold states accountable for obstructing immigration enforcement and dismantling criminal operations. Bondi stressed the department’s dedication to enforcing federal laws and protecting the public.
