What is the Justice Department's lawsuit against New York about?

The Justice Department is suing New York state and its top officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and Motor Vehicles Commissioner Mark Schroeder for allegedly prioritizing undocumented immigrants over American citizens. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the lawsuit targets New York's policies that limit law enforcement agencies from collaborating with immigration authorities. Bondi claims these policies undermine law enforcement by hindering their ability to run background checks on potentially violent offenders in the country illegally. While specific laws allegedly broken weren't detailed, the Justice Department maintains that New York's approach allows dangerous criminals to operate across state lines with impunity.
