Judge tosses Trump administration lawsuit over New York City 'sanctuary' laws

The Trump administration sued New York City over its sanctuary laws, which limit how much the city cooperates with federal immigration enforcement. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that the government lacked a valid legal basis to bring it. The judge cited a constitutional principle that prevents the federal government from forcing states and cities to help enforce federal law. The case represents a significant legal defeat for the Trump administration's efforts to override local sanctuary policies.
