A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit challenging New York City's sanctuary city policies.

What it means

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against New York City that challenged the city's 'sanctuary' policies. These policies limit how local law enforcement cooperates with federal immigration authorities, and the administration had argued they interfered with immigration enforcement. The ruling effectively upholds New York City's ability to maintain those policies.
