New Jersey ‘Sanctuary Cities’ Sued by Trump Administration Over Immigration Policies

The US sued four “sanctuary cities” in New Jersey, claiming they are blocking the work of federal immigration officials, as the Trump administration seeks to remove obstacles to its mass deportation plans.

Newark, Jersey City and Paterson – the state’s three biggest cities – and Hoboken were sued Thursday by the Justice Department, which asked a judge to declare their policies unlawful as the US fights illegal immigration.
