Donald Trump is ramping up his war against liberal ‘sanctuary city’ Los Angeles with a new major lawsuit.
The Justice Department, led by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, sued the city on Monday following weeks of anti-ICE riots and destruction.
The lawsuit argues that LA’s policies attempting to ‘deliberately’ thwart the work of immigration agents violate federal law.
‘Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,’ Bondi said in a statement to Fox News.
‘Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens are undermining law enforcement at every level – it ends under President Trump.’
It comes after DOJ also sued Chicago, Illinois, Denver, Colorado, Rochester, New York, challenging the cities’ so-called sanctuary policies.

Los Angeles has drawn the ire of the Trump administration as local authorities were unable to quell the riots that overran parts of the city earlier in June.
