To Pam Bondi......Throw the book at Newsom.
FAFO.
This is what I voted for!
She will soon find out that such a move is Unconstitutional. She certainly cannot strip California of all federal funds. California does not have to cooperate with Federal immigration enforcement. But they are not allowed to hinder it or actively interfere with that enforcement.
As for putting “immigration related conditions” on grants and policies that would only be permitted if the scope of those conditions was restricted to grants and policies where the subject was related to immigration enforcement. For example California applies for a grant to build more public schools. It would be fine for the federal government to request California to show how many of the increased student population are not U.S. citizens. However if California applied for a grant to improve water quality testing equipment the federal government could not make it conditional on whether California notified ICE of any arrests of illegal aliens.
Even if it can be agreed that enforcement of U.S. immigration law is a major priority that needs to continue. There is a reason why the Federal government can’t just ride roughshod over a state government’s policies and laws. Many here thinks it’s a fine idea as long as it is to advance Trump’s policies. They have given little thought to the precedent it establishes.
Thanks. I should have read your post before I replied to the original poster.
How come it is against the law for a governor to expel illegals but it isn’t if they conspire to allow them?
You obviously have no clue what her powers actually are under the Constitution to actually make a statement like she did. Let’s not give her an ounce of recognition for the dozens of case HER DOJ has won and repeatedly won in appeals due to lawfare. Trump obviously has no issue with her performance given that he’s not shy about calling out his AGs if he disapproves. Yet, we still have pearl clutchers in our midst that STILL believe they know more than those appointed by our President. Think you know law and could do better? Prime up that letter off to our President. We’re 7 months in. What are you waiting for? Or, are you just a keyboard slamming woman hater who feels inferior?
So tired of the pearl clutching crowd who proclaim they know constitutional law yet make the most asinine of comments.
ESL student?
You sound like you have anger and emotional issues.
Not in the least. I think she is doing a fantastic job
Nein.
