President Trump’s Justice Department announced Wednesday it would file civil charges against Gov. Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James for limiting compliance with the president’s hard-line immigration policies.

“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a news conference, saying it was “a new DOJ” and adding if other states are not compliant, “You are next, get ready.”

The lawsuit did not appear to have been filed when Bondi announced it. The planned action follows a similar federal action the Justice Department filed last week against Illinois.

Bondi said New York “didn’t listen.”

Don’t let anyone from those states fly commercial if they are using a state ID or DL for identification.

Pam Bondi is a bad ass. Hot blonde in sheep’s clothing. She made her point and then some last night at her press conference. A must see

“the president’s hard-line immigration policies.”

So following laws that were written before he was POTUS is a hard line policy? The Daily News has always been a leftist rag.

I’m still not sure what will happen. There are plenty of fed laws that have been broken, not just civil. Go after these governors and mayors where they have to suffer personally - their $, their time (in jail) and not where the tax payers of these states wind up paying the fines. Otherwise… no lessons will be learned. Show us you really mean business, Pam!

Amen.

Indict the governor serve warrants and then go through everything she owns to produce damning evidence.

Ditto the Attorney General. Find the evidence proving the AG is first and foremost a Black racist thief

Sue the big one, see if the others fall into line, then sue some more as necessary.
