The Trump administration has sued the state of Connecticut and its city of New Haven to try to overturn their sanctuary policies protecting illegal migrants — bringing the tally of such cases to 16. The Department of Justice claimed in its latest case Monday that the Nutmeg State’s “Trust Act” and New Haven’s “Welcoming City” executive order have both given criminal migrants “safe harbor” and allowed them to evade federal immigration enforcement — all undermining US laws. The state and city have been stonewalling the feds’ enforcement actions by refusing to share information and rarely honoring immigration detainers, forcing local law enforcement “to release criminal alien offenders back into the very communities they have already victimized,” the federal suit alleged.
