U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi set a deadline for cooperation with federal authorities by this week. She recently announced that sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide were given one week to comply with federal immigration laws or encounter action from the Department of Justice through written notifications she had disseminated.
“Under the leadership of President Trump, achieving complete cooperation by state and local governments in immigration enforcement is a foremost priority,” Bondi stated, mentioning that Trump tasked her to “identify sanctuary jurisdictions and inform them of their unlawful sanctuary status and potential breaches of federal law.”
