President Donald Trump's newly installed attorney general, Pam Bondi, went after New York leaders Wednesday over the state's immigration policies, announcing a lawsuit in the latest effort by the Republican administration to carry out the president's hardline immigration campaign pledges.

The new lawsuit comes after the U.S. government filed litigation against Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook County.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a lawsuit against New York state, Gov. Kathy Hochul and two other state leaders over New York’s “green light law,” which Bondi said does not comply with federal law—marking the second lawsuit of its kind under the Trump administration.

The Justice Department's directive to drop the criminal prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams is one more example that relationships, allegiances and vendettas are in some cases determining who gets targeted − and who gets reprieved − in the age of Donald Trump.

The Justice Department's order to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams will test whether a fiercely independent federal prosecutor's office can resist efforts by President Donald Trump's administration to rein it in.
