Trump’s Justice Department on Wednesday announced civil charges against Gov. Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James for limiting compliance with the president’s hardline immigration policies.
“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a press conference, saying it was “a new DOJ” and adding if other states are not compliant, “You are next, get ready.”
The suit follows a similar federal action the DOJ filed last week against Illinois. Bondi said New York “didn’t listen.”
Spokespeople for Hochul and James did not immediately wish to comment.
