New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the federal lawsuit on Monday.
Albuquerque, NM – The State of New Mexico and the sanctuary city of Albuquerque have filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration for releasing too many immigrants into the state’s border cities.
The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico on Monday, alleged that President Trump’s administration has enacted an “indiscriminate practice of releasing migrants in communities,” in violation of the federal “safe release” policy, KVIA reported.
The federal “safe release” policy was canceled in October of 2018 due to the massive wave of immigrants who flooded over the U.S. southern border from Central America.
That policy provided those seeking asylum with assistance in getting to their final destinations while they were waiting for their claims to be processed, KVIA reported.
“[The] sudden and unlawful abandonment of this policy was done without notice or opportunity for input by affected jurisdictions,” the lawsuit alleged.
The sanctuary city and the State of New Mexico has also demanded to be reimbursed for the funds it has shelled out to temporarily shelter immigrants.
The lawsuit alleges that the financial burden was caused by the federal government’s "derogation of duty to administer this country's immigration system and claims of asylum,” KVIA reported.

Enjoy, sanctuary cities!!!
You asked for it, YOU GOT IT!!
ENJOY!!!
LOL! So many people here get down on the president “for not doing enough” but he has some amusing ways of paying libs back.
That would be the governor who pulled the state national guard off the border thereby causing chaos to New Mexico. Reap what you sow.
You asked for it, New Mexico. You fund it.
Bwahahahaha!!!
Choke on ‘Em A-holes!
NM is like the kid who killed his parents seeking mercy ‘cause he’s an orphan.
Fine, put them on planes and send them to their own countries.
I admit I am more of a close the border today, punish the employers for the lat 7 years with citizen taxes they have dodged today, kind of gal.
Is this a joke? Do sanctuary cities even have standing to file such a complaint?
The NIMBY Left.
EXACTLY!
rotflmao
Isn’t that rich...
Sounds like a story from The Onion.......................hahahahaha
No No No Guv. You just loves you some illegal immigrants. Well.....have some more. This is exactly what you said you wanted when you went out of your way to not cooperate with the feds in trying to enforce immigration laws.
Yeah, yeah. It’s so easy, isn’t it from your couch?
Best part is, the President is shoving it down the throats of liberals, who may, in fact (a few of them) WAKE UP to the fact that America is being INVADED.
When it hits their pocketbooks in a noticeable way, including loss of employment, they will be forced to wake up.
A few of them, anyways.
