Los Angeles officials have sued the federal government over Department of Justice grant application rules that are aimed at cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities, the city attorney said Tuesday.

“We’re filing a lawsuit against the (Donald) Trump administration ... to seek an injunction to block the imposition of unconstitutional civil immigration conditions on a vital crime-fighting grant,” City Attorney Mike Feuer said at a news conference at City Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
