The Trump administration is suing both Chicago and the state of Illinois, claiming its Democratic leaders are obstructing the federal government's immigration crackdown.
The U.S. Justice Department filed the lawsuit Thursday, specifically citing Illinois' Trust Act, The Way Forward act and Chicago's Welcoming City ordinance. The department claims the legislations "are designed to and in fact interfere with and discriminate against the Federal Government's enforcement of federal immigration law in violation of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution."
