Mannys Suing the Trump Admin What the SF City Attorney is doing to fight back
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu announced plans to sue the Trump administration over its policies affecting sanctuary cities, emphasizing the protection of local laws. The event, "Manny’s: Suing the Trump Admin," will be held on April 28, 2025, at Manny's in San Francisco. Chiu aims to defend the rights of Asian Americans, arguing that federal actions threaten public health and safety. The lawsuit will challenge the legality of these policies and seek to uphold municipal law. Chiu's office asserts that the administration's actions violate the principles of local governance and civil rights.
The event will feature discussions on the broader implications of this legal battle for sanctuary cities nationwide. San Francisco has long maintained its status as a sanctuary city, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and protection for all residents. This legal action represents a significant step in the ongoing conflict between local and federal authorities regarding immigration policies.
