Attorney General Pam Bondi announces DOJ lawsuit against New York, Hochul and state AG James over ''sanctuary'' status
2025-02-13
[NYPOST] The Justice Department announced Wednesday it was suing New York state over its policy of limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with Gov. Kathy Hochul, state AG Letitia James and DMV chief Mark Schroeder in AG Pam Bondi's crosshairs.

''This is a new DOJ,'' Bondi announced. ''New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.''

''As you know, we sued Illinois,'' Bondi added. ''New York didn't listen. So now, you're next.''

''Gov. Hochul has been clear from day one: she supports deporting violent mostly peaceful criminals who break our laws, believes that law-abiding families should not be targets, and will coordinate with federal authorities who have a judicial warrant,'' her press secretary Avi Small said in a statement.

''We can't comment further on a presser announcing a potential lawsuit that has not yet been filed in any court.''

James also fired back in a statement hours later.

''Our state laws, including the Green Light law, protect the rights of all New Yorkers and keep our communities safe. I am prepared to defend our laws, just as I always have.''

A source familiar told The Post that Hochul and Trump had ''tentatively agreed'' to meet next week when she is in Washington, DC, for the National Governors Association meeting.

Last week, the Justice Department asked a federal judge to immediately strike down sanctuary policies in Illinois and reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
, arguing state and local officials ''are an obstacle to the Federal Government's enforcement of the immigration laws and discriminate against federal immigration enforcement.''

Tammy Nobles, an angel mom whose 20-year-old daughter, Kayla Hamilton, was brutally murdered by an MS-13 gang member, spoke after Bondi and recounted the horrific 2022 death of her child. On July 27, 2022, Hamilton was viciously strangled to death with a cord, sexually assaulted, and robbed of $6.00. "He left her on the floor like trash," Nobles said.

"She was raped and murdered by someone who should not have been in our country," Bondi added. "Yet he was released [and] flown to Maryland where he committed this violent mostly peaceful murder."

Bondi said Nobles represents many other angel parents across America "who have suffered because of what the Biden administration did."

"This should not have ever happened to Kayla, and this shouldn't be happening to other families being hurt by the border [crisis]," Nobles said. "Homeland Security didn't do their job."

Ever since, Nobles has been sharing Hamilton's story to "help save others and bring awareness of what was happening under the Biden-Harris administration." Nobles then thanked President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
for providing her a platform to speak out about Hamilton's case. "No other parent should suffer by having their child murdered by somebody who shouldn't be here."

Bondi noted that Hamilton's killer also admitted to committing multiple murders and other rapes. "That's who we were letting walk into our country," Bondi remarked.

"And if you don't comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable. We did it to Illinois. Strike one. Strike two is New York. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next," Bondi warned other Democrat-led "sanctuary" jurisdictions. "Get ready."

New York has a "green light" law that allows illegal aliens in the state to evade ID checks if law enforcement pulls them over, Bondi said. It prohibits police and other agencies like the DMV from sharing data with federal authorities for purposes of immigration enforcement.

"They have a 'tip-off' provision that requires New York's DMV commissioner to promptly inform any illegal alien when a federal immigration agency has requested their information," Bondi further explained. "It's tipping off an illegal alien. And it's unconstitutional, and that's why we filed this lawsuit."

#2  Hillary Clinton is from Chicago too. And Bill Clinton moved to long-time mob resort of Hot Springs, AR at seven years old, where Al Capone is said to have had permanent rights to suite 443 of the Arlington Hotel.
