Midday News: Columbia Agrees to Limit International Enrollment, Federal Sanctuary City Lawsuit Faces Legal Scrutiny, and New Jersey U.S. Attorney Standoff Continues

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

The Trump administration’s new agreement with Columbia University requires the school to reduce its reliance on international students. Meanwhile, legal experts say a new federal lawsuit targeting New York’s sanctuary city laws is unlikely to succeed in court. The Department of Justice alleges the city unlawfully blocks immigration agents from enforcing federal law. Plus, the battle over New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor is heating up. The Trump administration named Alina Habba as acting U.S. Attorney bypassing a panel of federal judges who had planned to replace her. Ry Rivard from Politico New Jersey joins us with the latest.
