The Trump government demands New York for its Sanctuary City laws for migrants | Immigration in the United States

Donald Trump’s administration has sued New York on Thursday for its sanctuary laws, which make the city a safe shelter for immigrants. The mayor and candidate for re -election in November, Eric Adams, is among those defendants by the White House, despite being saved from being tried for corruption for helping the federal government in the mass deportation program of foreigners.

The claim, of 37 pages, has been submitted in the Federal Court of the Brooklyn district by the Department of Justice, which alleges that immigration policies in New York City are hindering the application of the law by the Republican Administration. According to the text of the demand, the city’s policies have violated the clause of supremacy of the Constitution, which, he said, gives the administration “a well -established, preeminent and preventive authority to regulate immigration.”

“New York City has long been at the forefront when interfering with the application of the migratory laws of this country,” reads the demand. “Its history as a sanctuary city (shelter) dates back to 1989, and its efforts to frustrate the application of the Federal Immigration Law have only intensified themselves since then.”

In 2014, the then mayor, Bill de Blasio, promulgated bills that practically prevented the police and prison officials from helping federal agents of the Immigration and Customs Control Agency (ICE, in its English acronym) to deport undocumented immigrants.

By virtue of these initiatives, ICE was expelled from the offices that it had maintained in the Rikers Island prison complex and the allowed communication between the ICE and the city prisons department was restricted. Not even Adams’s promises to allow the return of ICE agents to the ominous prison of Rikers Island, as well as his commitment to collaborate in the deportation program, they have saved him from being sued. Together with Adams there are also those responsible for prisons and the New York Police Department.

The text recalls that within a few hours of assuming his second term, Trump declared a “national emergency on the southern border of the US” for the “illegal entry of foreigners”, which he says is not precedents. “Many of these foreigners who are illegally in the United States present important threats to national and public security, committing viles and atrocious acts against innocent Americans,” continues the demand, which considers the irresponsibility of some cities, such as New York, as the alleged threat of migrants.

“To further exacerbar this national crisis, some of these foreigners have found safe shelters in the face of the detection of federal order forces in the so -called Sanctuary cities, where they are protected among innocent Americans, who, too often, then become victims of their crimes,” continues the text, which collects concrete examples, as the incident happened this week in a park Ice out of service was shot by two undocumented immigrants who tried to steal.

The demand emphasizes that one of the foreigners weighed an arrest warrant for a year. But “the correctional department (penitentiary) of the city of York ignored the arrest warrant and released it again to the streets of New York City, leaving it free to continue committing crimes. (…) This tragedy could have been avoided,” says the text of the law cities.

To congratate the new administration before the foreseeable relay in the White House, confirmed in the November elections in which Trump defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the then Democrat Adams began to approach the Circle of the Republican, visited him in his Mar-A-Lago mansion and even went to his inauguration in January. His movements were highly criticized for what was then his party – currently attending re -election as an independent – but they paid off: the Department of Justice maneuvered, with a great controversy that led to the resignation of a dozen investigators and prosecutors, to exonerate Adams from the corruption case for which he had been charged last September; A judge dismissed that case at the beginning of April and a day later, the councilor left the Democratic party. The plundering Adams did not come, therefore, to sit on the bench for allegedly receiving money and prebendas of Türkiye, but could do it now, demanded by the administration under which he sought Amparo.
