The US justice department has filed a lawsuit against Chicago, accusing local officials of impeding federal immigration enforcement efforts amid Donald Trump's mass deportation drive.
The lawsuit - which mentions Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson - also seeks to block local laws it claims "interfere with and discriminate against" federal immigration policy.
Chicago's home state of Illinois is one of several that have vowed to push back against efforts to arrest and deport undocumented migrants, posing a challenge to the Trump administration's policies.
This week, new Attorney General Pam Bondi also vowed to slash federal funding to so-called "sanctuary cities".
