The Justice Department on Thursday filed a lawsuit against New York over a Democrat-backed state law that prohibits federal immigration agents from arresting individuals at or near courthouses — a state law the Trump administration says blatantly obstructs immigration enforcement.

Police said 86 anti-ICE protesters were charged on Tuesday, while city officials vowed not to let the Big Apple get out of control like LA.

The group rallied near a building that houses an immigration court, which has become a flashpoint amid the arrests of migrants in courthouses.

The Trump Administration sued New York over a law that restricts federal immigration authorities from making arrests at state courthouses, ratcheting up tensions over enforcement actions against undocumented immigrants that have sparked protests across the country.
