The administration of President Donald Trump has initiated legal action against four states, alleging their refusal to provide undercover license plates to federal agents constitutes unconstitutional obstruction. This move marks the latest escalation in the ongoing dispute between the White House and Democratic-led states regarding the president's immigration enforcement policies.
Separate lawsuits filed by the Department of Justice on Thursday target Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington state. The federal government contends these states are imposing restrictions that hinder law enforcement operations and jeopardize the safety of federal agents.
