WATCH:

The charges, filed by the DOJ, allege that New York state officials, including Hochul and James, actively undermined federal immigration enforcement efforts, endangering public safety. Both Hochul and James have vocally opposed federal immigration enforcement, and their administration’s policies have been linked to high-profile crimes involving illegal aliens.

Upon taking office as Attorney General, Bondi has implemented a series of directives aimed at sanctuary jurisdictions, mandating the cessation of funding to any that “unlawfully interfere with federal law enforcement operations.” She urged the department to initiate enforcement actions against sanctuary cities or states that defy the federal government’s immigration enforcement strategies according to CBS News.

One memo stated, “State and local jurisdictions must comply with applicable immigration-related federal laws,” and further clarified that “state and local actors may not impede, obstruct, or otherwise fail to comply with lawful immigration-related directives.”

Additionally, in a separate memo, Bondi focused on dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations, noting that “additional resources and thoughtful charging decisions” would be essential in combating illegal drug trafficking, and emphasized the department’s goal of the “total elimination” of these groups.

Last week, the Justice Department requested a federal judge to promptly invalidate sanctuary policies in Illinois and Chicago. They argued that state and local authorities “are an obstacle to the Federal Government’s enforcement of the immigration laws and discriminate against federal immigration enforcement.”
