The U.S. Department of Justice filed an 83-page lawsuit on April 13, 2026, against Connecticut, Governor Ned Lamont, New Haven, and Mayor Justin Elicker, challenging the state's Trust Act and New Haven's Welcoming City executive order as violations of federal immigration law. The suit is part of a broader campaign that has already suffered a significant defeat — a federal judge dismissed an analogous case against Colorado just two weeks earlier — and raises core constitutional questions about the anti-commandeering doctrine and federal authority over state and local law enforcement resources.
