Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at a press conference on Wednesday evening that the Department of Justice is filing a lawsuit against the multiple Democrats in the state of New York for alleged actions they have taken to shield illegal aliens.
“We’re here today because we have filed charges against the state of New York,” Bondi announced at the start of her press conference. “We have filed charges against Kathy Hochul. We have filed charges against Leticia James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV.”
“This is a new DOJ, and we are taking steps to protect Americans,” she continued. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”
Bondi highlighted the danger posed by the millions of illegal aliens that have flooded into U.S. communities with the drugs and violence they bring.
Bondi struck a highly aggressive tone in delivering her remarks, warning that any state that does not comply with federal law will be “next.”
New York has “green light laws, meaning they’re giving a green light to any illegal alien in New York, where law enforcement officers cannot check their identity if they pull them over,” she said.
“Law enforcement officers do not have access to their background, and if these great men and women pull over someone and don’t have access to their background, they have no idea who they’re dealing with,” she continued. “And it puts their lives on the line every single day.”
“Violent criminals, gang members, drug traffickers, human smugglers, will no longer terrorize the American people, and that is why we are here today,” she concluded. “You will be held accountable if you do not follow federal law. It’s over, it ends, and we’re coming after you.”
Bondi said that she will fight any state or official who does not comply all the way up to the Supreme Court and she is confident she will win.
She also did not rule out the possibility of criminal charges being filed in the future — something that Border Czar Tom Homan has mentioned in recent weeks.
