(The New American)—The federal Justice Department (DOJ) has sued Los Angeles to overturn its unlawful sanctuary law and policies that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration law.
In the fourth such lawsuit, this one filed in the U.S. District Court for California’s Central District, the 21-page complaint alleges three violations of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause. The city has also violated federal laws that forbid state and local governments from refusing to share immigration information with federal authorities, the suit says.
The lawsuit details not only the effects of the city’s illegal sanctuary statute and policies, but also its attempted obstruction of federal agents who were in the city to enforce immigration laws.

Sanctuary Statute
The lawsuit alleges that the city’s sanctuary statute and pro-illegal-alien policies “obstruct the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe.”
The result of that obstruction since June 6 has “been lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism,” which required President Trump to call in the National Guard and U.S. Marines to bring the city under control. The suit says that
Los Angeles has sought to do nothing short of prohibit[ing] ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] from operating within city limits, directly contrary to federal immigration law.
It elaborates that, in keeping with a state ordinance passed in 2017, the city police chief
restricted cooperation with federal immigration authorities and ordered that the LAPD “shall not: [i]nvestigate, interrogate, detain, or arrest a person for civil immigration purposes; or [i]nquire into an individual’s civil immigration status.”
The chief also required cops to seek approval from the police department’s immigration officer before turning over dangerous felons to federal authorities. The department refused to turn over illegals guilty of civil immigration violations, did not honor detainers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and required a federal warrant for a cop to arrest an illegal for federal immigration offense.
