A recent Justice Department memo obtained by a reliable source sheds light on the Trump administration's strategy to confront sanctuary cities laws. The memo, authored by acting Deputy Attorney General Emile Bove, outlines a plan to prosecute state and local officials who resist the federal immigration crackdown.
The three-page directive emphasizes that federal prosecutors who decline to pursue immigration cases will be reported to the Justice Department for potential investigation and prosecution. The memo underscores the administration's efforts to create legal memos that can withstand challenges in court.
