On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's “The Source,” CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig failed a press conference earlier in the day, but there is a “very strong case of legal merit” for parts of New York. He said. Its immigration policy states that “states have no authority to interfere or undermine enforcement efforts at the federal level.”
Honig said: “I think it actually has a strong legal basis for what they want from the court or what they seem to be doing to the court. Essentially. In, they say New York has a lot of laws that prevent us from getting in the way of enforcing federal immigration laws. Essentially, immigration authorities seeking DMV information, address or car information. If you ask, A. says that it should not be provided to federal authorities., flip the person being asked. There is basically a bedrock principle called the supreme clause. This is If there are conflicting priorities and conflicting policies between the federal government and the state, the federal government should win. And I think – it's hard to say what happens in the early stages of this case, what's going to happen, kite-ran. I think that, but in the end, Pam Bondi thinks that despite all the air failures, she has a rather strong case of legal merit here in the state, at the federal level. It is not capable of hampering or undermining enforcement efforts.”
In the first half of the segment, Honig is wrong to announce the lawsuit before filing, and the wording of the announcement is misleading as it sounds like the DOJ is prosecuting an official rather than filing a civil lawsuit. He said.
