A new memo from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) orders federal prosecutors across the country to begin investigating state and local officials who attempt to block the administration’s deportations and immigration enforcement.
The memo was issued by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, Trump’s former defense attorney.
It outlines “interim decisions and policy changes” pending the confirmation of Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi.
Bove said interim changes are necessary as an initial response to Trump’s executive orders regarding “three of the most serious threats facing the American people.”
Those threats, Bove wrote, are cartels and other transnational criminal organizations, such as Tren de Aragua (TdA) and La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13).
He noted that organizations and other foreign criminals “are a scourge on society resulting in an unstable and unsafe border and huge flows of illegal immigration in violation of U.S. law.”
