DOJ tells California officials to back off ‘apparent criminal conspiracy’ to arrest ICE agents: ‘Stand down or face prosecution’ (includes Pelosi)
NY Post ^ | 10/24/25 | Victor Nava

The Justice Department on Thursday warned California officials, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), against engaging in an “apparent criminal conspiracy” to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued the letter to Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins after the former House speaker suggested Wednesday that local police could arrest ICE agents if they violate state laws while carrying out immigration enforcement operations.

“Rather than supporting and working with federal law enforcement professionals, California politicians, including U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, have instead called for state and local law enforcement officials to ‘arrest’ federal agents and officers for enforcing federal laws enacted by the U.S. Congress, including federal immigration laws,” Blanche wrote in his missive.

“The Department of Justice views any arrests of federal agents and officers in the performance of their official duties as both illegal and futile,” he added. “Numerous federal laws prohibit interfering with and impeding immigration or other law-enforcement operations.”

Blanche said the DOJ would “investigate and prosecute any state or local official” who flouts federal statutes or directs or conspires with others to violate them.

The deputy AG further ordered the California officials to “preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials.”

“We urge you and other California officials to publicly abandon this apparent criminal conspiracy, to stop threatening law enforcement, and to prioritize the safety of your citizens,” Blanche continued. “In the meantime, federal agents and officers will continue to enforce federal law and will not be deterred by the threat of arrest by California authorities who have abdicated their duty to protect their constituents.”

There are at least 3 states run by democrats putting out an app or website to track and identify ICE agents.

The democrats are hoping that they get murdered.

Here on Free Republic, the consensus has always beenthat there will be an attempt to devolve newly formed “city states” int9o a form of secessionist governance.These would include NYC,Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco,Portland, Seattle and New Orleans.

These cities will seek to unify and have a common policy of independence, taxation power,and their own military, aided financially by China, Russia, and parts of the world wide globalist agenda seekers.They mean to de-construct America.

We are now approaching a point in these cities where politicians who pursue an insurrectionist policy need t9 be indicted by Grand Jury and be made subject to the sanction of federal jurisdiction.

This doubling down began as the DOJ began t9o oursue the funding behnd ANTIFA and related insurrectionist organizations and their funding tree.

The time is coming when there will be action.

Thank you President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi,as well as the CIA and Kash Patel.

We are actually now at war with China, blowing their end point drug trafficking proxies out of the water.Ch9ina is part of the destabilization funding scheme of these deconstructionist communists and socialists who want violence.

It is also way past time to go after George Soros. Dismantle his operations, and either kick him and his family out of the country, or prosecute them and send them to prison.

When South Carolina threatened to secede over tariffs in 1832, President Jackson obtained Congressional authority to use Federal troops to stop secession. In 1860 and 1861, when the cotton states of the Deep South seceded over tariffs and slavery, President Buchanan did nothing, thus allowing the crisis to fester. President Trump should learn from this bit of history.

IMO the records preservation order is the most important facet of the letter.

.....agree......I believe “Pelosi” is another word for “Teflon” in that nothing, but nothing will ever happen to her...just like Hitlery Clinton, “nothing will ever come of this......”

Convenient NBA scandal to divert attention away from all the other crap they aren’t prosecuting. Oh look a decades old mafia gambling ring. See how much we are doing?

Idle threats are stupid and indicate weakness. Ultimately they serve as encouragement to wrong doers.

Words are cheap. Men of action act.

Act or don't act. Make up your minds.

To: Democrat = party of treason

“”DON’T WARN THEM, ARREST THEM!””

***

And while you’re at it... arrest idiots like Don Lemon, who suggest that illegals should “arm up”...ie buy a gun, for when ICE agents come to their doors. IOW, Lemon is inciting and encouraging illegals to shoot ICE agents for enforcing illegal immigration laws. If that incitement to violence isn’t illegal, then there is no such thing in America.

Good! A sternly worded letter! I’ll wait for Step 2 to see how this shakes out.
