Seattle has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in response to the crackdown on sanctuary cities, the city’s mayor Ed Murray announced on Wednesday.
“Let me be clear about the president’s executive order: It is violating the law,” Murray said during a press conference. “It is unconstitutional.”
Earlier this week U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said sanctuary cities are “at risk of losing federal dollars” by enforcing policies that make their cities “less safe.”
