The City of New Haven is joining several local governments across the country suing the Trump administration over executive orders targeting sanctuary cities.

New Haven is the latest city to join a coalition of local jurisdictions from across the country in filing a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.

A coalition of U.S. cities and counties on Friday filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to force so-called sanctuary jurisdictions to cooperate with his immigration crackdown and mass deportations.
