Federal judge tosses Trump DOJ lawsuit against sanctuary policies in Chicago

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Trump administration’s battle with Democrat-controlled jurisdictions and their sanctuary polices suffered a blow on Friday when a federal judge in Chicago dismissed a case challenging their legality.
Judge Lindsay Jenkins of the Northern District of Illinois, a President Biden appointee, granted the defendants’ motion for dismissal, ruling that the city’s ordinances are lawful protections not subject to federal enforcement mandates.
The Trump Justice Department, in a February filing, accused the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago of unlawfully interfering with President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration as it aims to carry out mass deportations.

TRUMP DOJ SUES NEW YORK CITY OVER LONG-STANDING SANCTUARY IMMIGRATION POLICIES
Sanctuary cities or sanctuary policies limit co-operation between local officials and law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. The Trump administration has long railed against the measures, arguing they make such areas a haven for criminal illegal immigrants and contribute to increased crime.
The Justice Department alleges these laws violate the U.S. Constitution’s «Supremacy Clause» under the Tenth Amendment, which states that federal law preempts state and local laws that may conflict with it.
But Jenkins rejected the argument, ruling that states retain significant powers not explicitly granted to the federal government.
«Finding that these same Policy provisions constitute discrimination or impermissible regulation would provide an end-run around the Tenth Amendment,» the judge wrote. «It would allow the federal government to commandeer States under the guise of intergovernmental immunity — the exact type of direct regulation of states barred by the Tenth Amendment.»

MAYOR JOHNSON WARNS TRUMP AGAINST DEPLOYING FEDERAL TROOPS FOR IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN IN CHICAGO
The Chicago City Council passed an ordinance in 2012 that stops city agencies and employees from getting involved in civil immigration enforcement or helping federal authorities with such efforts. The Illinois legislature passed a similar state law, known as the TRUST Act, in 2017.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was pleased with the decision and that the city is safer when police focus on the needs of Chicagoans.
«This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. The City cannot be compelled to cooperate with the Trump Administration’s reckless and inhumane immigration agenda,» he said in a statement.

The Trump administration has sued several jurisdictions over their sanctuary policies, including a filing this week against New York City. The administration has also sued several New Jersey cities, as well as Los Angeles.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the federal government was left with no choice but to protect New Yorkers by filing the suit.
«If New York’s leaders won’t step up to protect their citizens, we will,» she wrote on X.

Israel announces immediate resumption of Gaza aid airdrops amid growing hunger crisis

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it will resume airdrops of aid to Gaza Saturday night while disputing claims of deliberate starvation as the hunger crisis escalates amid its ongoing campaign against Hamas.
The IDF said in a statement Saturday the airdrop operation will be conducted in coordination with international aid organizations, Israel’s Coordination for Government Activities in the Territories and the Israeli Air Force.
«The airdrops will include seven pallets of aid containing flour, sugar, and canned food to be provided by international organizations,» the IDF said in a statement.
Designated humanitarian corridors will also be established «to enable the safe movement of U.N. convoys delivering food and medicine to the population,» according to the IDF.

«The IDF is prepared to implement humanitarian pauses in densely populated areas and will continue to operate to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and eliminate terrorists in the areas of activity,» the IDF said. «This week alone, over 250 aid trucks were unloaded, joining hundreds of trucks waiting at the crossings to be collected by the U.N. and international organizations.»
Approximately 600 trucks of aid have also been distributed by the U.N. and other international organizations, Israel said.

Israel has also connected its power line to Gaza’s desalination plant.
«This is expected to supply approximately 20,000 cubic meters of water per day, up from the 2,000 cubic meters supplied until now, to serve about 900,000 residents in the area,» according to the IDF.

Price gouging and disagreements about how to get aid to citizens are making the crisis worse.
The U.N. is warning of increased malnutrition and starvation in the area.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called the situation in Gaza a «horror show» this week «with a level of death and destruction without parallel in recent times.»
«Responsibility for food distribution to the population in Gaza lies with the U.N. and international aid organizations,» the IDF said. «Therefore, the U.N. and international organizations are expected to improve the effectiveness of aid distribution and to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas.»

Israel reanudó los lanzamientos aéreos de ayuda a la Franja de Gaza y habilitará corredores humanitarios

El Ejército de Israel reanudó este sábado los lanzamientos aéreos de ayuda humanitaria hacia la Franja de Gaza durante la noche y anunció la creación de corredores humanitarios para facilitar el transporte seguro de convoyes de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) con alimentos y medicinas. Según el comunicado emitido por las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI), la primera tanda de entregas incluyó siete palés con harina, azúcar y alimentos enlatados provistos por organizaciones internacionales.
La institución militar publicó en Telegram que se “efectuó un lanzamiento de ayuda humanitaria con paracaídas como parte del esfuerzo por permitir y facilitar la entrada de ayuda a la Franja de Gaza”.
La medida tiene lugar en un contexto de creciente crisis humanitaria en Gaza debido a la aguda escasez de alimentos, medicamentos y productos básicos, una situación que según organizaciones internacionales ha generado graves riesgos de desnutrición infantil y mortalidad por hambre.
El ejército israelí informó que la decisión, adoptada tras una evaluación de la situación la tarde del sábado, forma parte “de sus esfuerzos para permitir y facilitar la entrada de ayuda a Gaza y refutar la falsa afirmación de hambruna deliberada en la Franja”. La operación de entrega aérea se desarrolla en coordinación con organismos internacionales y con el COGAT (organismo dependiente del Ministerio de Defensa de Israel encargado de la gestión civil en los territorios palestinos).
Las FDI notificaron que “la asistencia humanitaria designada permitirá el movimiento seguro de los convoyes de la ONU que entregan alimentos y medicamentos y cabe la posibilidad de declarar pausas humanitarias en zonas pobladas para facilitar la ayuda”.
Además de los lanzamientos aéreos, el ejército confirmó la reconexión de una línea eléctrica entre Israel y una planta de desalinización en Gaza, con lo que se ha incrementado la producción diaria de agua hasta los 20.000 metros cúbicos.

El comunicado detalla que las FDI “están preparadas para implementar pausas humanitarias en zonas densamente pobladas y continuarán operando para desmantelar la infraestructura terrorista y eliminar a los terroristas en las áreas de actividad”. A pesar de estas medidas, el ejército sostiene que “las operaciones de combate en el enclave no han cesado”.
Las FDI argumentan que “no hay hambruna en Gaza” y describen como “campaña falsa promovida por Hamas” las denuncias de las agencias de la ONU y organizaciones internacionales sobre la situación alimentaria. El ejército remacha que “la distribución de alimentos recae en la ONU y las organizaciones internacionales de ayuda”, y llama a estos organismos a mejorar la eficacia de la distribución y a evitar que la ayuda llegue a manos de organizaciones armadas.
Por su parte, el COGAT indicó que el sábado había 600 camiones a la espera de ser descargados por las organizaciones internacionales, mientras que el ejército israelí insiste en que “Israel no limita el número de camiones que entran a la Franja de Gaza”, y atribuye a las agencias humanitarias la responsabilidad de retirar la ayuda ya despachada en los cruces.

El jefe de la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados Palestinos (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, calificó este sábado como “ineficaz” la reanudación de los lanzamientos aéreos de ayuda humanitaria en Gaza frente a la magnitud de la catástrofe. Lazzarini señaló en su cuenta de X que “el lanzamiento aéreo no pondrá fin al hambre que se agrava. Es costoso, ineficaz y puede inclusive matar a civiles hambrientos”. Para el director de la agencia, el hambre en Gaza solo puede resolverse “por la voluntad política” y llamó a que la ONU intervenga “a gran escala y sin obstáculos”.
El viernes, un responsable israelí confirmó a la AFP que los lanzamientos de ayuda humanitaria por vía aérea serían coordinados por Emiratos Árabes Unidos y Jordania. El propio Reino Unido anunció que trabajará con Jordania para lanzar ayuda por vía aérea sobre Gaza y evacuar niños con necesidades médicas urgentes, de acuerdo a una declaración del primer ministro británico Keir Starmer.
La situación sobre el terreno en Gaza se ha deteriorado desde el endurecimiento del bloqueo impuesto por Israel a inicios de marzo, que ocasionó una escasez “grave” –según fuentes humanitarias– de alimentos, medicamentos y otros suministros esenciales. A finales de mayo, Israel alivió parcialmente las restricciones. Organizaciones internacionales denuncian desde hace meses obstáculos para responder a la crisis, afirmando que continúan enfrentando presiones y restricciones para acceder a la población necesitada y distribuir la ayuda.
El ejército israelí rechaza estas acusaciones, manteniendo que los organismos internacionales y la ONU deben hacerse cargo de la recolección y distribución eficaz de la ayuda, mientras el enclave palestino sigue enfrentando una emergencia humanitaria creciente.
