Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — The Trump administration is taking the City of Rochester to court following a controversial encounter between Rochester police officers and federal immigration authorities.
A March 24 traffic stop on Whitney Street near Lyell Avenue sparked controversy after Mayor Malik Evans and Rochester Police Chief David Smith claimed the officers involved violated the city's immigration policy by assisting Border Patrol agents at the scene.
BACKGROUND: Body camera video released from immigration-related traffic stop in Rochester | Man charged following controversial immigration-related traffic stop in Rochester | Woman's family 'torn apart' by traffic stop involving federal agents in Rochester
The lawsuit, which names the city, Evans and Rochester City Council, was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, claiming Rochester's sanctuary city policy interferes with and limits cooperation with federal immigration agents.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Enough with the suing.
How about arresting.
8 U.S. Section 1324.
Good idea! Would love to see “Mayor” Evans frogmarched.
Rochester is a Dem stronghold...and does whatever Schumer says.
Preferably in front of gawking onlookers.
Never-mind suing....have Federal Marshals take them away in irons...and their bosses too.
All the way up to the mayor and communist city council.
As an escapee from the Rochester Gulag of the People’s Republic of NY, I have one desire.
That Homan shuts his goddamn Piehole and starts the arrests with the Mayor, the Shitty Council, and the Police Chief
Then makes the drive up to Albany and arrests the cadaver looking bitch in the Governors Mansion
A lawsuit?? How about arrests and cooling heels in the pokey after failure to pay a $10 million bond? Such a suit will take YEARS to resolve.
Yak… yak… yak… ARREST THE MAYOR. All The Stupid Party ever does is quietly tiptoe around issues. The last time America showed any guts was when we nuked the Japs. We don’t win because we are afraid of winning.
My niece went to high school with him. Haven't talked to her yet about his stupidity. Her husband works for the city. Neither of them are liberals, so it will be interesting to hear what they say. I was born and raised in Rochester. Went to high school there. That city went to $hit many years ago. Glad all my family is dead and gone from there so I never have to go back.
I was born in Rochester in 1947. Moved away from there around 1972 with my then husband and two sons. Only went back to bury family. Last one passed in 2014.
Still have family there
Go every couple years
Get crappier every time
We all went to Jonathan Child School (#21) on Colvin Street. We three girls went to Madison High School. My only brother went to Edison. I graduated from Madison in 1965. It wasn't long after that, that the city started going downhill.
Was in Irondequoit
Right by the lake in Summerville
Left in 78
I’m still stuck here for a few more years. On Mt. Read just around the corner. Last year Mayor Maleek sent franked mail stating that I got a city tax cut of 34%. The next day the tax bill arrived. It was a $400 increase. This city died a long time ago. It just doesn’t know it yet.
Probably some DEI bean picker mailed out that letter to you for the Mayor.
