DoJ sues New York for blocking immigration arrests near court
The U.S. Department of Justice is taking New York to court over a state law that prevents immigration officials from arresting people near courthouses. The feds argue the law—called the Protect Our Courts Act—intentionally protects undocumented immigrants from being detained, even those with criminal records. New York’s stance mirrors similar policies in California, which have already sparked legal battles with the Trump administration.
