DOJ Directs Prosecutors, FBI Task Forces to Probe Officials Obstructing Immigration Enforcement
Jan 22, 2025, 04:10 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), under President Donald Trump's administration, has issued a memo directing federal prosecutors to investigate and potentially prosecute state and local officials who obstruct immigration enforcement efforts. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove issued the memo on Tuesday, emphasizing that "federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests." The memo also orders FBI terrorism task forces to assist in locating individuals residing in the country illegally. This directive signals an aggressive stance on immigration enforcement, targeting sanctuary cities and jurisdictions that impede federal efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.
