Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is expected to speak at City Hall on Tuesday morning, a day after the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit claiming that the city's sanctuary policies are illegal and "interfere with and discriminate against the Federal Government's enforcement of federal immigration law.

The Justice Department is suing the city of Los Angeles over its so-called “sanctuary city” policy passed in the weeks following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election victory that prevents city resources from going toward immigration enforcement.
