BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi Announces Charges Against New York Officials Over Immigration Policies
In a major legal move, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed charges against New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder.
The lawsuit alleges that New York officials failed to enforce federal immigration laws, endangering public safety.
Speaking at a press conference, Bondi emphasized the DOJ’s commitment to protecting American citizens, particularly in light of crimes linked to illegal immigration.
She cited the tragic case of a young woman who was killed by an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador—an individual who, according to Bondi, remained in the U.S. due to New York’s sanctuary policies.
“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. That ends today,” Bondi declared.
The charges come as part of a broader federal effort to crack down on sanctuary policies.
Last week, the DOJ requested a federal judge to overturn similar policies in Illinois and Chicago, arguing that they obstruct federal law enforcement.
Bondi’s directives as Attorney General include blocking federal funding for jurisdictions that refuse to comply with immigration laws.
She has also prioritized dismantling transnational criminal organizations, reinforcing the DOJ’s stance on illegal immigration and crime.
This remains a developing story, with further updates expected in the coming days.
