Attorney General Pam Bondi just dropped the hammer on sanctuary cities across America. She sent demand letters to 32 mayors and multiple governors giving them until Tuesday to start following federal immigration law. The message was crystal clear: cooperate or face serious consequences.
Bondi gave these lawless jurisdictions until August 19th to prove they will work with federal agents. Cities like Boston, Portland, and entire states like Oregon and Washington got these warning letters. Liberal leaders now have just days to decide if they want to keep protecting criminals or start protecting Americans.
The Department of Justice identified dozens of sanctuary jurisdictions that put illegal aliens before American citizens. Twelve states, four counties, and eighteen cities made the shameful list. These places have been thumbing their nose at federal law while hardworking taxpayers foot the bill.
Sanctuary cities are a disaster that help dangerous criminals stay in our communities. When local police refuse to work with ICE agents, violent gang members and drug dealers get second chances to hurt innocent families. This madness has gone on too long under weak leadership.
Cities that keep defying immigration law could lose their federal funding completely. Billions of taxpayer dollars flow to these rebellious jurisdictions every year. President Trump is finally making them choose between their radical agenda and the money they desperately need.
Predictably, liberal mayors are already whining and making excuses. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu claims the city follows the law while actively blocking immigration enforcement. These politicians care more about virtue signaling than keeping their own residents safe from criminals.
This crackdown is part of President Trump’s promise to restore order to our immigration system. For too long, Democrat-run cities have acted like they can pick and choose which federal laws to follow. Those days are officially over under real leadership.
America is finally getting an Attorney General who puts citizens first and criminals last. Pam Bondi is showing these sanctuary city mayors that their time is up. Either they start working with ICE to remove dangerous illegal aliens, or they can explain to voters why they chose criminals over safety.
