Pam Bondi Blindsides New York's Kathy Hochul and Letitia James with Federal Charges: 'This Is a New DOJ'
https://www.msn.com/en-us/n...2bf325ae114b49&ei=26
| quote | Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday that New York is being sued by the Justice Department for its efforts to shield illegal immigrants.
“This is a new DOJ and we are taking steps to protect Americans,“ Bondi said, according to a video posted to social media platform X.
“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today,” Bondi said.
“As you know, we sued Illinois and New York didn’t listen, so now you’re next,” she said, according to Spectrum News.
"If you don't comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable," Bondi said. "We did it to Illinois, strike one. Strike two is New York. And if you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next. Get ready," according to Fox News.
Bondi announced that the lawsuit is targeting Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and Mark Schroeder, the state commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles, according to USA Today.
Six days ago, the federal government sued Illinois and Chicago over their sanctuary policies that protect illegal immigrants from being deported, according to Spectrum.
Bondi said state officials in New York were targeted because of the state’s law that cripples federal immigration authorities when they seek to use state DMV data on illegal immigrants.
"They have a 'tip-off' provision that requires New York's DMV commissioner to promptly inform any illegal alien when a federal immigration agency has requested their information," Bondi said, according to WABC-TV.
"It's tipping off an illegal alien. And it's unconstitutional, and that's why we filed this lawsuit," she said.
“Violent criminals, gang members, drug traffickers, human smugglers will no longer terrorize the American people, and that is why we are here today,” Bondi said, according to Spectrum.
Bondi said the Justice Department will not stop at two states.
“We don’t want to sue you,” she said. “We don’t want to prosecute people. We want people to comply with the law.”
Hochul is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump Thursday. |

I expected Federal Funding to be either restricted or cut off the sanctuary cities and possibly states. Admittedly, this action surprises me but, now that it's out there makes sense. This should be interesting to watch. West Coast States and Colorado, I'm thinking you're next.

Some will say this is revenge for charges brought against DJT, but Federal law supercedes State law.
Sadly, the DOJ has been lax in enforcing those laws in the past.
As they say in the old westerns.....There's a new sheriff in town.

They crossed the line. The states are free to not assist the feds. When they actively hinder the feds or aid criminals, then they are breaking federal law. I cannot believe that the NY Democrats actually thought it was a good idea to tip off criminals about the feds investigating them.

In February, DOJ sued New York, New York City and Illinois, Chicago, and surrounding Cook County
Now in May, DOJ Sues Colorado, Denver on Sanctuary Laws and Policies
The lawsuit argues that three state laws, a city ordinance, and a mayoral executive order “by intent and design interfere with and discriminate against the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law,” which “violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”
The mayoral executive order bluntly forbids city employees from any cooperation in the enforcement of civil immigration laws. Cooperating with federal agents is a firing offense.
The lawsuit specifically names elected officials as Gov. Jared Polis, Attorney General Phil Weiser, Denver Sheriff Elias Diggins and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston
