Trump Security Appointee Warns Newsome He May Face Charges Over “Sanctuary City” Laws
Gavin Newsome and other Democratic Governors have been put on notice by the incoming Trump administration that they could face criminal charges for their illegal practices in their so-called sanctuary cities.
The warning came in a letter from Stephen Miller, Trump’s newly appointed Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security. The letter warns that sanctuary laws and policies violate federal immigration law and “subjects those who abide by it to significant risk of criminal and civil liability.”
The strategy was kicked off recently with a letter sent to California Governor Gavin Newsom and various sheriffs, police chiefs, district attorneys, mayors and supervisors in sanctuary cities and counties by the America First Legal (AFL) foundation, which was founded by Stephen Miller.
This comes on the heels of incoming Border Czar Tom Holman’s warning to the same officials: “If you knowingly conceal or harbor an illegal alien from a police officer, it is a felony. To impede a federal law enforcement officer is a felony, so don’t cross that line.” He further warned, “We’ve got a strong AG coming in, Pam Bondi, and we will present these prosecutions, so you know, don’t test us!”
Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), chair of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime, also stated that he expects Bondi to go after these officials for “obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting criminal cartels.”
This leaves little doubt the Justice Department will pursue these officials, likely first with a warning letter similar to the AFL letter, then with federal indictments. The size and scope of the migrant crisis is far greater than it has been in decades. Thus, the Trump administration must employ an all-encompassing approach, including indictments and perhaps the use of federal marshals, CBP and other federal law enforcement.
As laid out in the AFL letter, federal law is clear that an “official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, [DHS] information regarding the citizenship or immigration status” of an individual. Further, according to the letter, individuals can be held criminally liable for failing to adhere to the law with a penalty of up to five years in prison per alien.
It was President Joe Biden’s order overturning the remain-in-Mexico policy that led to the migrant surge. On day one, Biden began allowing migrants to cross anywhere they pleased along our almost 2,000-mile border southern border. They were not required to enter through an official entry point. Cross the desert, the mountains, or the river at the place of your choosing (or, more accurately, at the drug cartel’s choosing). That is no problem. Biden brought the border patrol to you and gladly processed you right there. As a result, according to Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), 1.7 million migrants crossed in Biden’s first year, an over fourfold increase over the prior year.
This means we have an unknown number of migrants with violent criminal backgrounds and/or terror ties presently in the country. According to CBP, about twelve million migrants have crossed under Biden. A significant percentage likely have criminal records. Even if it were just one percent, that means 120,000 people to be very concerned about!
Lock him up
Let there be pandemonium and fear. Shiny bobbles to distract us. Perceived enemies to incite us. Hate this, hate that. Failure everywhere. Revenge. Retribution. Get back. Like this schmuck: threaten opponents with DOJ action. Make them bend to your will. Or follow the boss, no, not Mush, the Mump Regime Potentate.
Tell Panama and Greenland you will not rule out military actions in your deal so they better give it up.
Claim the economy is fixed on your watch. Since the election, it’s gotten better because Trump is here. Gee, didn’t see that one coming. Tomorrow he will claim credit for falling murder rates too.
The Canadian border is a fiction, they would be better off as part of us. Good luck with that. Apparently he does not know how many military actions these guys have bailed us out on. They are not exactly peaceniks, just humbler than Captain Bonespur and company.
Wants to change Gulf of Mexico, to Gulf of America. It’s a toilet, so that makes Trumpian sense
We need Greenland for national defense so Denmark should give up it’s 200-year old claim
Prepare the pardons for the 1/6 criminals, let’s pretend they are hero’s.
Gas heat is best, does not make you itch. Anyone here have itchy heat?
Low flow showers bad, rain better. What the fuck was this about?
Windmills bad, coal better. Windmills cause whale suicides.
The best: already since the election, things are getting better under Trump.
I am so glad that I gave listening to this …..stuff…. 2 years into his reign. I just pick up the fact-checkers later. Takes a bit, he keeps them so very busy. But in the five minutes I caught, the low flow shower windmill whale weave, it sure seems this guy is very Biden-like in his dementia, without the stutter perhaps, but perhaps a stutter would slow the spew down.
Oh my, the fun we will have.
Two years.
Ahhh, welcome to Trump and 2025!!! The imperialism gasps by Trump are all about distracting us from his shitty cabinet picks!
Thanks for the chuckles!
Oh my, look at that propaganda rant from the wannabee President of the United States, Jusus Frank! He really does need help, full hospitalization for his treasonous anti-American propaganda! He’s going to need extensive shock therapy for what is about to come! Good! There may be hope for him yet.
Again with the threat. What is about to come? And you think my harm is your good.
You have no proof, just demented accusations without substance.
It’s all you have, since you are incapable, incompetent, or both, to argue the issues, based on the issues, supported by things you can’t even understand: facts.
If you can’t argue the issues, why not just let the personality go. Or keep pushing. Perhaps you will hit a breaking point. But I doubt it. You are just not that good.
I sometimes wonder why Joe does not moderate this stuff. But not much.
Nope, Jesus Frank. Someone has to get the real truth out to you plus others. Someone has to be the Patriot and stop the Liberal trash propaganda. Looks to me like more and more are going after you on this site, too! Hmmmm
I am sorry af. That just not make any sense. I am just not seeing what you see. And certainly calling me a bunch of names, threatening me, warning me my time is near and you enjoy my demise; none of this vitriol does anything except vent your spleen for your personal self gratification.
Enough, back to the issues. If you don’t mind. I will leave you to your trash talk about personality and your warped sense of morality. Keep on judging others. Godspeed your efforts.
AF, you have never been known for truth. And your patriotism is full of spreading lies and misinformation. Now, continue your talk therapy and stay on your medications! What ever happened to your promise to leave this site? I remember when you whined and cried that people were being mean to you. Now you are at it again!
NO Tom, maybe we should go back to an FBI that can not find their Ass Holes with both hands!
Or a DOJ that raids homes to check through under wear drawers.
Tell the family’s of murdered people by illegals’ Biden had it right!
DO the math!
How many people in general public fall into a DEI category?
How many people in the general public are qualified to do the job appointed by a person in charge?
If you do the math correctly on average less than 10% of DEI would be qualified for the jobs.
This is not a JAB, but fact biased on math.
Biden made his picks 100% DEI with NO merit for qualification.
Supreme Court picks that can not describe Woman!
Now wonder why the country in down the shit hole!
Clown and Clown Cabinet hiring Clowns!
Darren, please state your sources for the accusations and statistics you say.
1) Source for FBI not being able to find their ass.
2) DOJ searches have a standard procedure. Would you rather risk them miss evidence?
3) Source of your stats on murders by illegals.
4) Source on DEI and “the math”.
5) Source on DEI appointments that were or are currently not qualified.
Darren, so you feel that Biden is “clown hiring clowns”. How do you feel about a convict hiring TV personalities, convicts, rapists and ass kissers? Do you think this will make it all better?
Just another ruse for taking jabs at Biden through alleged short comings of his. Ten days remaining in Biden’s term but even after 1/20/2025 and trusty Trump begins his watch and anything that the right don’t like will be pinned on Biden.
Not long and Trump will take credit for the current progress in the economy due to Biden, Lessened numbers in crime statistics will be claimed by Trump. That certain cabinet nominees not yet cleared through the Senate’s process are rattling sabers loudly in the media.
I don’t hear anything positive being recommended for issues that touch all Americans. Instead, Trump’s circus is about getting a running start at their full scale war of retribution against those who in the last four years Trump saw were adversaries, personal and political
This is more angry rhetoric by would be Knights of King Trump’s round table. Trump’s round table will be mythical just like in the ancient tales. The cabinet’s swords are raised and ready for war against boarder crossers where ever they are found crossing or people from Mexico have made their home in America.
Articles like this are less about people crossing than it is about ingrained animosity towards non-white people’s.
Prejudice against another human being and whole masses of people based on race, creed, religion, or place of origin is founded on fear, Fear is mainly caused by ignorance. Willfully staying clear of personally coming to know more about what causes fear.
Jumping to misinformed conclusions is unfounded judgement.
Denying others the same rights and freedoms to others that the majority enjoy is founded in ignorant fear. Fear and hatred are interchangeable and precursors of oppression and injustice.
Just yesterday the country memorialized President Jimmy Carter. Doubtful he, as President and afterwards, would agree with what Trump and his new administration has pledged themselves to do and upend what 45 previous presidencies excluding Trump’s, have worked hard at keeping and strengthening Each in his own way, Republicans and Democrats, have always wanted to leave the Office of the President better and stronger that they found it upon their being inaugurated. The same holds true true for the country. The Presidents had selfless love for contra and their fellow citizens
Not so convincing has Trump’s words and actions been that he will admit to selfless enduring love for the country that enabled his wealth and selfless love for every soul living on American soil.
Presidents Ford and Carter came from different political parties and yet they were friends with mutual agreement on many subjects. On one subject in particular they agreed upon, They had the idea in common of sacrificial serving America’s people as President of all of them. All former presidents had a good measure of altruism in their character, until and except Trump. Trump 1.0 as historical evidence of the man’s personality.The four years since Trump’s loss to Biden in 2020 have not indicated any positive change or advances iin character quality that represent any selfless love for country or every American regardless of political party affiliation.
Generally objective politically and open minded pundits while commenting on Pres.Carter’s presidency after observing his Memorial:Funeral Service came to a similar conclusion. That Ford and Carter were men of a historical era much different in its ethics and moral conviction than what is apparent in present day ethics and moral convictions which produce behavioral and linguistic norms.
What clearly separates Trump from his predecessors I a matter of un-ethical proposals and less than moral policies toward those the law justly dealt with as well as those millions of persons he proposes unjust treatment and unethical dealing attitude lacking moral foundations.
This truly is a different and stranger time in history in American History. Someone as unpresidential as Trump has proved himself in business, politics, and personal conduct could never have won enough of the electorate’s faith and win two nonconsecutive general national elections, albeit by Electoral College vote. Placing Trump with his personality in the Oval Office proves beyond a doubt that the American electorate is not just divided in ideology the majority by less than 50% has lost their way with their ethical and moral standard’s anchoring perspective.
The nation is going to go through some things. Those are Trump’s own words said during one of his impeachment trials. Little did the nation how prophetic those words were then are appropriate in today’s America,
Trumps message to his little crowd on January 6, 2021 said the day would be wild. That, too, was a prediction for political chaos possible from 1-20-25 until Trump passes out of American politics and influence among the electorate.
Whether one voted for Trump or not, like we were during the pandemic, we are all in this mess together and together we will survive the wild chaotic things that will happen to America.
Thing is, this all could have been avoided. Had the people in general actually walked their Sunday morning usual talk and not listened to their preachers’ nationalist sermons, the country could have been saved from her current misery. How else could someone like Musk attempt a take over of the reigns of power elect from Trump without the pull money in unimaginable quantities corrupts minds.
The wealthy are not poor or modestly funded people with a lot of money. That is a rule of law made known by Lottery Winning individuals. Poor and medium income people purchase chances in spite of the huge odds against winning. But, someone must win and those that do win rarely avoid bankruptcy in a few years
American’s like the story of the pied piper people foolishly follow the piper, so it is with American’s who think unorthodox politics will solve their self destructive thinking’s consequences.
