Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is expected to speak at City Hall on Tuesday morning, a day after the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit claiming that the city's sanctuary policies are illegal and "interfere with and discriminate against the Federal Government's enforcement of federal immigration law.

The Trump Administration is suing Los Angeles over sanctuary city policies that limit the city’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, claiming that they led to “lawlessness” when thousands of people took to the streets earlier this month to protest the President’s mass-deportation operation.
