Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Justice Department (DOJ) is suing Chicago, along with the states of Illinois and New York, as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants and jurisdictions that restrict cooperation between federal immigration agents and local police. President Donald Trump has frequently criticized Chicago and Illinois for having some of the nation’s strongest protections for immigrants. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, meanwhile, shared his belief that President Trump’s policies pose serious risks to Americans’ civil rights and democracy at large, and pledged to continue speaking out.
In New York, Bondi pointed to the state’s “Green Light Law,” which allows migrants living in the country illegally to obtain driver’s licenses. Bondi warned that the Justice Department is prepared to take action against other states it believes are not complying with federal law.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker applauds Bondi’s crackdowns on sanctuary cities and states, arguing that “officials at every level must get their priorities straight” and protect the American people from “violent criminal aliens.”
The following is an excerpt from the above video:
When local governments protect violent criminal aliens from arrest and deportation, they put vulnerable people in their communities at risk. There is also a national interest in arresting these criminals because they sometimes cross state lines and commit serious crimes in other parts of the country.
During her announcement, Bondi shared the story of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, who was raped and murdered by an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador. The gang member was smuggled into the United States, apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Texas and flown to Maryland to live with a sponsor.
“Her murderer was only living there for five days before he viciously strangled her, raped her and left her on the floor like trash and robbed her of $6,” Kayla’s mother said.
The first legislation President Trump signed into law on Jan. 29 is the Laken Riley Act. This law mandates the federal detention of illegal immigrants who are accused of theft, burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer, or any crime that causes death or serious bodily injury.
