The US Justice Department has initiated an investigation into the release of an arrested immigrant by a New York sheriff's office, marking the first challenge to sanctuary cities. This move is seen as a significant test of the Trump administration's stance on immigration policy. With immigration laws and sanctuary city policies under scrutiny, the probe is expected to have far-reaching implications. Immigration reform and border security remain key concerns for the government, as it navigates the complex issue of immigrant rights and public safety. The investigation is ongoing, with the Justice Department seeking to determine whether the release was in accordance with federal law.
