Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against California and Governor Gavin Newsom in the U.S. Supreme Court. The announcement was made during an appearance on the television program Hannity.
The lawsuit challenges California’s “sanctuary” policies, which are designed to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. These types of policies have been the subject of national debate, with supporters arguing they protect immigrant communities and opponents claiming they hinder enforcement of federal law.
Uthmeier’s office has provided resources for further information, including a summary of the lawsuit and access to the full motion filed with the Supreme Court.
During his appearance on Hannity, Uthmeier discussed the reasons behind Florida’s legal action. He said: “During an appearance on Hannity last night, Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a lawsuit against Gavin Newsom and California in the U.S. Supreme Court.”
The case is expected to draw attention as it moves through the nation’s highest court.
