DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship

The U.S. Department of Justice sued the City of L.A., Mayor Karen Bass, and the city council, calling its sanctuary city law ‘illegal.’ They keep repeating the “crisis of illegal immigration” line, and that efforts to address it “are hindered” by the city’s refusal to cooperate or share information with federal authorities. They claim that this has led to “lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism” in L.A. and that the sanctuary city policy is the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans witnessed.”
