A federal judge rejected President Trump's lawsuit against four New Jersey sanctuary cities, stating even a win would not adequately address the Justice Department's immigration issues. The ruling targeted local policies in Hudson County, East Orange, Newark, and Paterson that mirror state immigration laws. The judge found that the DOJ had already implemented reforms aimed at addressing the issue without needing the court's intervention. The decision came after years of litigation over sanctuary cities' policies and their impact on federal immigration enforcement.
