The Justice Department, under acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, has shifted to prioritize immigration enforcement and investigate state and local officials resisting these laws. This directive aligns with Trump-era policies, emphasizing the prosecution of illegal immigrants and coordination among federal agencies. Notably, local law enforcement agencies maintain their non-cooperation with federal immigration efforts, raising challenges for Trump’s administration. The memo signals a significant policy reversal from recent years, aiming to bolster federal immigration initiatives despite pushback from sanctuary cities. The White House warns of potential legal actions against resistant local officials.
