The lawsuit - which mentions Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson - also seeks to block local laws it claims "interfere with and discriminate against" federal immigration policy.

The lawsuit accuses city, county, and state authorities of ‘minimally enforcing—and oftentimes affirmatively thwarting’ federal immigration law.

The Trump administration is suing Chicago over what are known as sanctuary laws. The administration claims the nation’s third-largest city “thwarts” federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.
