(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – President Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice (DOJ)’s federal prosecutors to crack down on sanctuary cities and local officials by investigating and prosecuting them if they defy federal law.
The DOJ, under President Trump’s leadership, has issued a groundbreaking memo instructing federal prosecutors to scrutinize state and local officials who impede the enforcement of immigration laws.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove’s directive marks a significant shift from previous administrations, prioritizing the removal of illegal aliens and prosecution of crimes committed by them.
This action aligns perfectly with President Trump’s commitment to keeping America safe and putting American citizens first.
By targeting sanctuary cities and uncooperative local officials, the administration is sending a clear message: no one is above the law, especially when it comes to protecting borders and communities.
The memo emphasized that federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting or obstructing lawful immigration-related commands.
“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests,” the memo read.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Offices and litigating components of the Department of Justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution,” it continued.
Under President Trump’s guidance, the DOJ will once again charge defendants with the most serious provable crimes, limiting the prosecutorial discretion that allowed many criminals to slip through the cracks during previous administrations.
The memo also tasks the DOJ’s civil division with identifying and challenging state and local laws that obstruct President Trump’s immigration initiatives.
“Indeed, it is the responsibility of the Justice Department to defend the Constitution, and accordingly, to lawfully execute the policies that the American people elected President Trump to implement,” Deputy Attorney Genearl Bove wrote in the memo.
This directive is a far cry from the weak policies of previous administrations that allowed illegal aliens to enter the country unchecked.
President Trump’s focus on border security, transnational gangs, and drug trafficking demonstrates his unwavering commitment to putting America and its citizens first.
This new directive embodies the Trump administration’s determination to establish firm immigration control.
By focusing on state and local officials, the administration aims to remove any obstacles to its immigration strategy, reflecting their unwavering commitment to their electorate’s mandate.
