The Department of Justice has filed another lawsuit against the state of New York over its sanctuary policies, this time challenging a law that prevents immigration-related arrests at courthouses.

“Lawless sanctuary city policies are the root cause of the violence that Americans have seen in California, and New York State is similarly employing sanctuary city policies to prevent illegal aliens from apprehension,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a press release on June 12.
