Federal Judge Dismisses Trump Administrations Lawsuit Against New Yorks Immigration PoliciesA federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against New York State, upholding the states right to prevent federal immigration officials from making arrests at state courthouses. This decision marks a significant victory for New York, as it affirms the states authority to set its own immigration enforcement policies. The lawsuit, which challenged a 2020 state law and two related executive orders, was dismissed by Judge Mae DAgostino, who ruled that New Yorks choice not to participate in enforcing civil immigration law is protected by the Tenth Amendment. New York Attorney General Letitia James praised the ruling, stating that it ensures that people can use New Yorks state courts without being targeted by federal authorities.
