In-state tuition for illegals, Mask Ban for Federal Officers, Sanctuary cities The Department of Justice has filed multiple lawsuits against California, challenging its sanctuary state policies, which allegedly obstruct federal law enforcement, as well as immigration enforcement. The DOJ says the aim of these lawsuits is to hold California accountable for laws that the DOJ claims discriminate against U.S. citizens and undermine federal law. In February California Governor Gavin Newsom defiantly signed legislation authorizing a $50 million legal slush fund to “Trump-proof” the state against the President – $50 million that the state doesn’t have so State Attorney General Rob...

A suburban Chicago cop was taken into custody by ICE agents this month, and the arrest has blown open a political fight over sanctuary policies, hiring standards, and who gets to wear a badge in Illinois. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Radule Bojovic, a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, is a citizen of Montenegro who overstayed a tourist visa and remained in the country unlawfully for roughly a decade. He was encountered during a targeted sweep under Operation Midway Blitz, the new Department of Homeland Security campaign focused on the Chicago area. The operation has already...

Pritzker said that Texas National Guard troops should, ‘stay the hell out of Illinois.’Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor...

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says he's received no communication about the presence of U-S Border Patrol teams in the Chicago River downtown, but says it's part of a continued pattern by the White House. Border Patrol chief Michael Banks has shared the images on social media of a brace of Customs and Border Protection boats moving past the Trump International Hotel on the Chicago River. "Do not know what they're up to," Mayor Johnson told reporters after the Chicago City Council meeting wrapped up last night. "The federal government is not communicating with me or our police department -- and...

A North Carolina city has approved a measure declaring itself a "Fourth Amendment Workplace" and boosting protections for illegal immigrant workers targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Durham City Council passed the resolution on Tuesday with a unanimous vote to shield city workers against raids and arrests carried out by federal officials, according to The Duke Chronicle. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches and arrests, and requires warrants with probable cause of a crime before seizing a person or property. The resolution instructs city staff to "uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city...

It appears that many of Boston's officers are quietly rebelling against the anti-ICE stance taken by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's (D) administration. According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Boston cops are secretly providing critical information to federal immigration officials to help arrest criminal illegal aliens—a bold move that flies in the face of the sanctuary city policies pushed by Wu and other extremist Democrat mayors across the country. For years, Boston, under Wu’s leadership, has been one of the loudest advocates of the sanctuary city movement. Her administration has consistently refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding illegal...

Far-left Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston said yesterday that her city would not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting illegals, and that the Blue City would remain a sanctuary for illegals. Wu falsely claimed at a news conference that the Trump administration is “attacking our cities.” In response to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s warning that sanctuary cities must drop their policies or face federal legal action, Wu said the city would do no such thing. Wu now risks prosecution under several federal statutes, including those dealing with harboring illegals and interfering with the enforcement of...

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday issued an order wiping out Washington, D.C, police policies that protected illegal immigrants, and she named a temporary leader for the district’s Metropolitan Police Department.

Border czar Tom Homan on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C., means that the city can no longer enforce its sanctuary status. Homan said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working “hand-in-hand” with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), which has been federally taken over, to arrest and deport any illegal immigrant criminal in Washington. The border czar promised that any illegal immigrant who commits a crime will not be protected under any sanctuary law. “I think D.C., under federal control, is not gonna be a sanctuary city. We’re...

Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a two-page order on Thursday rescinding illegal immigration protections in Washington, D.C., and naming an "emergency police commissioner" for the city's Metropolitan Police Department. Bondi's order, titled "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia," mostly took aim at sanctuary city policies within the nation's capital, rescinding any order that limits how Metropolitan police officers can handle interactions and incidents with illegal immigrants. She also stripped power from Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith by naming Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the department's "emergency police commissioner," granting him all the "powers and duties...

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox 5 New York’s “Good Day New York,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) discussed the federal lawsuit filed over the city’s sanctuary policy and said that the law should be adjusted to allow for greater coordination with the federal government when it comes to violent criminals, but for people “who are going about following their next step on the American Dream that are undocumented. We should not be harming them at all” by denying them taxpayer benefits because they “are innocent people who are just trying to pursue the American Dream.” Adams said that...

It appears that Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston’s promise of rebellion and insurrection against the Trump administration will not materialize, at least any time soon. Just after President Trump was elected in November, the far-left mayor warned that moms and cops would cordon off the city to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from entering, thereby stopping the arrest of illegals. But nothing happened when agents found and locked up more than 240 illegals from July 12 through July 20. They were the usual collection of rapists, killers, drug addicts, and drunk drivers. Meanwhile, in New York City, the...

Donald Trump is ramping up his war against liberal 'sanctuary city' Los Angeles with a new major lawsuit. The Justice Department, led by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, sued the city on Monday following weeks of anti-ICE riots and destruction. The lawsuit argues that LA's policies attempting to 'deliberately' thwart the work of immigration agents violate federal law.'Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,' Bondi said in a statement to the Daily Mail. 'Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over...

Increasingly aggressive immigration raids carried out by masked federal agents, sometimes using unmarked vehicles, are creating problems for local law enforcement agencies. Police have little or no insight into where the federal enforcement actions are taking place but often have to deal with the aftermath, including protests and questions from residents about what exactly happened. In some cases, local cops have been mistaken for federal agents, eroding years of work to have immigrant communities trust the police.In Bell, chaos erupted when masked men arrived at a car wash and began detaining its workers, sparking a confrontation with residents and immigration...
