The Justice Department announced Wednesday it was suing New York state over its policy of limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with Gov. Kathy Hochul, state AG Letitia James and DMV chief Mark Schroeder in AG Pam Bondi’s crosshairs.

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi announced. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”

Pam Bondi is a great pick. Well done, President Trump!

[Macho MAGA Man]

Bondi was brutal in her remarks!

[TalBlack]

Egregiously, proudly violate federal law and you get sued? Wow. I bet Hocul is scared to death.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The left refused to give the job to Matt Gaetz, so instead we got someone even better!

Bondi was brutal in her remarks!

When she said "Charges" against Hochel, James, and Schroeder, I pictured some frogmarching in front of cameras.

I can dream, right?

Another day of Trumpmas!

Kool...

I didn’t know that Bondi would so quickly rock the NYS legal system.

A great pick as the first target. [Lawfare, indeed.]

(Egregiously, proudly violate federal law and you get sued? Wow. I bet Hocul is scared to death.)

So what’s your honest thoughts on Pam Bondi?

[McGavin999]

Great press conference, she’s not playing around. New York policy endangers the lives of law enforcement both on the federal and state level.

[Lazamataz]

Egregiously, proudly violate federal law and you get sued? Wow. I bet Hocul is scared to death.

If you heard her presser, she said "Charges" with the implication, later stated, that a lawsuit is the preferred resolution but criminal charges are not off the table.

Letitia James may be too busy with her own defense preparations to spend time going after Trump.

I guess this explains the fact that searches for “criminal defense attorney” in DC are three times the number elsewhere in the nation.

[HombreSecreto]

Heard that too - I think a deliberate slip.

Lawsuit first...they continue to be stupid...criminal charges.

Can you imagine Gov Hochul in leg irons?

[Darksheare]

Arrest them both.
Publicly.
Like they did to so many others.

No, this would've been Republicans who would've costed Gaetz the spot. He never had the votes from our side.

Oh well. Personally, I think Bondi is a far better pick. Gaetz would've been hobbled by his personal baggage.

[TalBlack]

She sounded furious. She seemed near tears twice when dealing with that mom. I think she’s gonna nail that leaker. I think she’s backing off, at least for now, on arresting a lawless governor or two.

New York is a good place to start. Make an example with. Even if they beat the rap they're not gonna beat the ride. Nothing but bad optics for them going forward.

Absolutely!!!! I can see it today!!! I can also see ole Peekaboo James standing there and “peekabooing” thru cell block bars dressed in her new fancy prison orange jumpsuit.
