June 22 (Reuters) – A \u2060California \u2060court has dismissed a \u2060lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s administration \u200bagainst Los Angeles over a city ordinance limiting its cooperation \u200cwith federal immigration authorities.<\/p>\n
U.S. \u200cDistrict Judge Fernando Olguin rejected the administration’s argument \u2060that \u2060the city’s policy was unconstitutional. He gave the administration \u200bpermission to file an amended complaint.<\/p>\n
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision \u200bon Monday.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles city attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto said \u2060in a \u2060statement on Monday \u2060that \u200bthe ruling “reinforces the well-established principle that local governments have the authority \u200bto decide how \u2060to use their personnel and resources.”<\/p>\n
The administration’s lawsuit, filed last June, alleged that Los Angeles violated federal law by enacting policies barring city resources from being \u2060used to aid immigration enforcement operations or collect information about \u2060individuals’ citizenship status. The lawsuit came weeks after Trump deployed troops to quell protests in Los Angeles against deportation operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Olguin on Saturday rejected the administration’s argument that the city unconstitutionally tried to regulate the federal government, finding instead that the ordinance “controls the actions of the City’s\u00a0own agents and agencies.”<\/p>\n
The Trump \u2060administration has filed several lawsuits challenging similar policies adopted in jurisdictions run by Democrats. Federal judges have dismissed administration lawsuits brought against the cities of \u200bBoston and Chicago.<\/p>\n
