The Trump administration is suing four New Jersey cities, accusing local officials of obstructing federal law and infringing on efforts to combat illegal immigration through their sanctuary city policies.The lawsuit by the Justice Department alleged the cities of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson unlawfully obstructed federal authorities trying to fight illegal immigration.Mayors Ras Baraka of Newark, Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, Steven Fulop of Jersey City and Andre Sayegh of Paterson are named as defendants, along with the four city councils."By intent and design, the Challenged Policies are a frontal assault on the federal immigration laws and the federal authorities that administer them," the complaint states.BLUE STATE POLITICAL BATTLE INTENSIFIES AFTER DEM MAYOR'S ARREST AT ICE FACILITY: 'OUTRAGED'Barakawas recently arrestedand charged with trespassing outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in his city. That case was dropped, but U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was laterchargedwith assault during the protest at Delaney Hall."The lawsuit againstNewarkis absurd," Barake said in a statement. "We are not standing in the way of public safety. We are upholding the Constitution, providing oversight, and following the laws and guidelines of the State of New Jersey."He said nothing in the city's policies prevents law enforcement from doing their jobs. "What we refuse to do is turn our city into an arm of federal immigration enforcement, which the courts have already ruled is not our role," he added.Acting Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth wrote that local policies are designed to "thwart federal immigration enforcement".NEWARK MAYOR ARRESTED AT ICE FACILITY CLAIMS HE WAS 'TARGETED' AFTER COURT HEARING"[E]ven where local law enforcement wants to help the United States deal with the nations immigration crisis, the Challenged Policies impede them from doing so," he wrote. "This not only puts the safety of officers at risk, but also endangers the broader communities they are sworn to protect."The lawsuit comes after federal charges were filed against Baraka, a gubernatorial candidate, for his role during a May 9 clash involvingDemocratic politiciansat a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark."Recent events have proven that these New Jersey officials care more about political showmanship than the safety of their communities," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "As I have made clear, this Justice Department does not tolerate local officials in sanctuary cities obstructing immigration enforcement: there is more litigation to come.""We will continue to do what we have always done, protect the rights of all our residents, stand on constitutional ground, and reject fear-based politics that divide communities rather than strengthen them," Baraka said.DHS SAYS ARRESTS ARE STILL ON THE TABLE AFTER NEW JERSEY HOUSE DEMS CAUGHT ON CAMERA STORMING ICE FACILITY"Hoboken is a community that prides itself on its vibrancy, its cultural diversity, and its inclusivity, and we will continue to stand together as a community for what is fair and just," Bhalla said in a separate statement."The City of Hoboken will vigorously work to defend our rights, have our day in court, and defeat the Trump Administrations lawlessness. To be clear: we will not back down.""Jersey City gets sued for being a sanctuary city I guess MAGA ran out of conspiracy theories for the week," Fulop wrote on X in response to the lawsuit. "Here is the truth: Jersey Citys policies protect families, reflect our values and have led to record low crime rates. As governor, I wont be bullied. Well fight this and win."Fox News Digital has reached out to Sayegh's office.The Trump administration has targeted sanctuary jurisdictions as it continues to catch and deport criminal illegal immigrants.It has filed lawsuits against cities in New York, Colorado and Illinois over attempts to impede immigration enforcement.

I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system."KIM KARDASHIAN TESTIFIES IN PARIS ROBBERY TRIAL, RELIVES TERRIFYING MOMENT SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS 'GOING TO DIE'On Friday, a court in the French capital acquitted two of the 10 defendants.

He said the nine years between the robbery and the trial were also taken into account in the sentencing."Kim appreciates the Courts decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process," Kardashian's legal team shared in a statement with Fox News Digital."It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals. She looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves."Nine men and one woman were involved in the crime during Paris Fashion Week. The robbers, dressed as police, forced their way into the glamorous Htel de Pourtals, bound Kardashian with zip ties, placed her in the bathtub and escaped with her jewelry.Her $4 million engagement ring, from her then-husband Kanye West, was among the items stolen.The ten criminals involved delivered their final statements in court before the verdict was reached.Among them was the ringleader Khedache, who arrived in court walking with a stick and his face hidden from cameras. Prosecutors had asked for a 10-year sentence.His DNA, found on the bands used to bind Kardashian, 44, was a key breakthrough that helped crack open the case.

"But it doesnt change the feelings and the trauma and the fact that my life was forever changed."On Friday, Khedache asked for "a thousand pardons," communicated via a written note in court. Other defendants also used their final words to express remorse.As "The Kardashians" star sat on the witness stand earlier this week, she said the robbery marked what she thought would be the last day of her life."I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me," she said during her testimony.

"She wishes for the trial to proceed in an orderly fashion in accordance with French law and with respect for all parties to the case."The mom of four, who was accompanied by her mom Kris Jenner on Tuesday, testified against a group known as the "grandpa robbers" due to their age.

After reaching a settlement with the City of Chicago earlier this month, Jussie Smollett agreed to make a $50,000 charitable donation to have a lawsuit against him dismissed.In a lengthy statement to Fox News Digital, Smollett said, "Over six years ago, after it was reported I had been jumped, city officials in Chicago set out to convince the public that I willfully set an assault against myself. This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear. These officials wanted my money and wanted my confession for something I did not do."Today, it should be clear. They have received neither. The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult one to make. After repeatedly refusing to pay the city, I was presented with an opportunity to make a charitable donation in exchange for the case being dismissed."JUSSIE SMOLLETT SETTLES WITH CHICAGO AFTER HATE CRIME HOAX CONVICTION WAS OVERTURNEDSmollett, who is Black and gay, originally reported to Chicago Police he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack by two men wearing ski masks in January 2019. He was convicted in 2021 of staging the hate crime, but his conviction was overturned in November 2024.In April 2019, the City of Chicago filed a lawsuit against Smollett in an attempt to recoup the costs of police investigating the alleged attack. The actor told Fox News Digital "despite what happened there politically," he still has a place in his heart for the city."Therefore, making a donation to benefit Chicago communities that are too often neglected by those in power will always be something I support," he said. "I've made a $50,000 donation to Building Brighter Futures (BBF) Center for the Arts, a local nonprofit doing incredible work nurturing self-expression, creativity and exploration of the arts for Chicago youth. This organization was of my choosing, and I'm comforted that there will be at least one winner from this experience."Smollett said that even though the criminal charges were overturned, and the civil case has been dismissed, "I'm aware that it will not change everyone's mind about me or the attack I experienced. However, despite arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent both in the eyes of God and of our criminal justice system."Now, he said, he'll focus on moving forward."I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with the truth," the former "Empire" star said.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSIn addition to the $50,000 he donated as part of his settlement, Smollett said he's also donating $10,000 to the Chicago Torture Justice Center, which "provides resources to communities healing from the violence of the Chicago Police Department.""To anyone who has had to prove they have in fact been violated, you know how difficult this can be to navigate. I stand with and for you," Smollett said of the donation.In a statement to the Chicago Sun-Times, city lawyers said, "The city believes this settlement provides a fair, constructive and conclusive resolution, allowing all the parties to close this six-year-old chapter and move forward."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERCriminal charges against Smollett were originally dropped in March 2019, a month after his arrest. After special prosecutor Kim Foxx requested a new inquiry, the "Empire" star was convicted in December 2021 on five felony counts and later sentenced to 150 days in county jail. The Illinois Supreme Court decided in November 2024 that the special prosecutor's decision to retry Smollett on charges violated his rights."Today we resolve a question about the state's responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants," Mark Geragos, Smollett's lawyer, told Fox News Digital at the time. "We hold that a second prosecution under these circumstances is a due process violation, and we therefore reverse defendant's conviction.""This was not a prosecution based on facts, rather it was a vindictive persecution, and such a proceeding has no place in our criminal justice system," another of Smolletts attorneys, Nenye Uche, told Fox in a statement. "Ultimately, we are pleased that the rule of law was the big winner today. We are thankful to the Illinois Supreme Court for restoring order to Illinois criminal law jurisprudence."Fox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz contributed to this report.

A school district in a state with a Democratic governor has voted to keep biological boys out of girls sports.The Quilcene School District in Washington voted 3-2 to keep sports competition based on athletes' birth gender.The ruling defies a policy by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA), enacted in 2007, that allows transgender students to participate based on their gender identity.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAccording to Fox 13, board member Ron Frantz said "Title IX is the law," and sports should be kept based on birth gender.But another member, Vivian Kuehl, said it is "immoral" to keep transgender females out of girls and women's sports, according to The Seattle Times.The vote was taken May 7. The state's governor, Bob Ferguson, defeated Republican nominee Dave Reichert in November. The state has not had a Republican governor since John Spellman, from 1981 to 1985.President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February to keep biological boys out of girls and women's sports, but Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal said the order defies state law."State law prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity, and we will not back down from that," Reykdal said at the time.Later that month, Reykdal said it would be "inaccurate" to say there are only two genders.Bills that would prohibit transgender athletes from participating in girls and women's sports have been introduced in the state but have not passed.HALL OF FAMER BRIAN URLACHER REITERATES STANCE ON TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS: 'COMMON SENSE'However, the issue became so concerning for residents that the WIAA announced a proposal in December to create a separate open division for transgender athletes to compete in.In May, a trans athlete competed in a girls cross-country championship and won.The athlete won the 400-meter heat race in the girls division with a time of 55.59 seconds. The second-place runner finished in 58.83 seconds. In the finals, the trans athlete won with a time of 55.75 seconds, a full second ahead of the second-place runner who finished in 56.75.In February, a civil rights complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights on behalf of a teenage girl in Washington state who was allegedly punished for refusing to play a basketball game against a trans athlete.The complaint said the Tumwater School District in Washington is investigating 15-year-old Frances Staudt for "misgendering" the opponent and violating the district's policies against bullying and harassment.Several other states have defied Trump's executive order on the issue, resulting in Maine temporarily losing federal funding.Fox News' Jackson Thompson contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
