The DOJ is suing the New York City state over sanctuary law. Ag Bondi: More coming.

Sanctuary cities and states should be better prepared for federal lawsuits right away from President Donald Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ).

It already sues Chicago and Illinois over illegal sanctuary laws that protect illegal aliens and even violent criminals from deportation.

And yesterday, the department sued New York City and the state over a “green light law” that illegally blocks the federal government from accessing the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) database.

“It's stopped today,” Attorney General Pam Bondy said. And other sanctuaries would be better “prepared” for lawsuits against them.

Litigation

A 16-page lawsuit filed in US District Court for the Upstate District of New York explains that the Greenlight Act is unconstitutional.

Not only does it prohibit the DMV from sharing illegal analytics databases with the federal government, it also says that “the DMV Commissioner in New York will promptly tilt illegal aliens when federal immigration agencies request his or her information. We are requesting it,” the lawsuit explains.

The lawsuit says the purpose of elected officials in passing the law was to prevent immigration enforcement. “They achieved their goal.”

New York law also regulates the federal government's ability to control immigration. Under the U.S. Constitutional Advantageous Clause, state or local governments are not permitted to do so.

This Constitution, and the US laws carried out through its pursuit, shall be the highest law of the land.

According to the 3 count suit:

The Federal Immigration Act expressly preempts state and local laws restricting information with the federal government “on the status of individual immigrants.” See 8USC §1373(a).

But that's exactly what the green light does.

Furthermore, under the preemptive principle of conflict, states cannot create “an obstacles to the achievement and implementation of the full purpose and purpose” of federal immigration law. …

The law singles federal immigration agencies for unfavorable treatment – accurate discrimination prohibited by the Constitution. By intent and design, the Greenlight Act is a head-on attack on federal immigration laws and the federal authorities that govern them. …Federal law does not tolerate this type of obstruction. There is also no constitution. New York's green light laws can't stand it.

Interestingly, the lawsuit cited a brief from the blue nation of Amichi Curia in an Obama administration lawsuit overturning Arizona's state immigration law SB 270. State and local law enforcement agencies have verified the citizenship of those who have been legally detained or arrested, allowing a guaranteed search of illegal aliens. DOJ suit pointed out by the brief:

“The removal of undocumented immigrants is () the exclusive function of the federal government,” and the federal government alone “is not only possible to be taken from the United States, but how such individuals are identified? , decide whether to be arrested and detained.

New York was the signer.

US. The Supreme Court did not overturn the entire law, but it broke those provisions.

The DOJ case against New York City and the state lodges three counts of violating the hegemony clause. First, their Green Lighting Act violates federal laws that prohibit states and regions from sharing “information about the individual's legal or illegal citizenship or immigration status.”

Second, the law illegally regulates the federal government by preventing the federal government from enforcing immigration laws.

Third, they illegally discriminate against the federal government by choosing immigration authorities “for treating them they dislike.”

“It's stopping today.”

Speaking at the press conference, the stubborn Bondi made a brief statement.

“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens,” she said.

It will stop. It's stopping today. You know, we sued Illinois and New York didn't listen. So now you're going to: Millions of illegal foreigners with violent records flooded our community, bringing them violence and deadly drugs.

He also spoke about Tammy Nobles, the mother of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, who was murdered in Maryland by Walter Martinez, a member of the El Salvador MS-13 gang. Border agents caught him at the border, but released him on a Biden administration's standing order.

“He came as an unaccompanied alien child and said he was afraid of gang activity in his country,” Nobles said. “The Ministry of Health and Welfare called him a lovely boy.”

“Nice boy” strangles Hamilton with a phone cord, rapes him and murders him.

Surprisingly, Maryland's far left authorities allowed him to attend high school while officers investigated the murder. Five states and federal agencies did not inform the school system that the suspected murder was in the hands of the person.

Bondi warned other states to prepare their lawyers.

I did it in Illinois. Hit one. Strike 2 is in New York. And if you are a state that does not comply with federal law, you are: Be prepared.

The Times Union newspaper in Albany explained that the Greenlight Act, which provides driver's licenses to illegals, created a program that “stricken into fraud.” The newspaper revealed it in 2021

There have been widespread fraud allegations in the driver permit program, including a scheme to illegally obtain immigrant driving qualifications. Many of these individuals allegedly used their licenses to falsely prove their New York residence in order to receive unemployment benefits under the state's Pandemi-era Excluded Workers Fund.

In December, the DOJ charged five men with conspiring to obtain more than 1,000 fake driver's licenses for illegal aliens. The two indicted were not surprising, but immigrants. They fled to Brazil, the newspaper explained.

The DOJ sued last week by Chicago and Illinois under four laws that prevent federal immigration officials from arresting and deporting illegals.

The lawsuit included an attack on laws that protected violent, illegal dismissal offenders from arrest and deportation by ignoring detainees from immigrants and customs enforcement.
