DOJ Warns Pelosi to ‘Stand Down’ or Face Ramifications After She Threatened to Arrest ICE Agents – RedState
Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sent a warning letter to several prominent California Democrats, noting that recent threats to arrest federal ICE agents could result in investigation and prosecution.
The letter came in response to Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)’s public suggestion that local or state police could arrest ICE agents if they are found to have violated state laws.
Blanche criticized Democrats for not supporting federal immigration agents in their efforts to enforce the law and for threatening them with their own arrests. Plus, he basically warned them to back off.
“The Department of Justice considers any arrest of federal agents and officers in the performance of their official duties to be unlawful and frivolous,” he wrote. “Many federal laws prohibit interfering and obstructing immigration or other law enforcement operations. »
Blanche, citing the Supremacy Clause as an example, warns that the DOJ “will investigate and prosecute any state or local official” who attempts to defy federal laws.
The letter was addressed to Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, all Democrats.
Blanche goes on to advise recipients to “preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempt or effort to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,” strongly suggesting they “publicly abandon” threats against ICE agents.
California politicians want to arrest federal agents who enforce federal law.
We just sent them a letter: resign or face prosecution.

Democrats’ chances of taking control of the House are declining rapidly, new numbers show
RedState’s Nick Arama reported on the “despicable” threat issued by Pelosi and Democratic Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) earlier this week.
“It is important to note that California law protects communities and prevents federal agents from taking certain actions here that we have seen in other states,” the two men said in a statement.
“While the president may enjoy absolute immunity thanks to his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under him do not,” they continued. “Our state and local authorities can arrest federal agents if they violate California law – and if they are found guilty, the president cannot pardon them.”
Pelosi and Mullin then praised “patriotic immigrants” for reinvigorating America, which is a weird way of spelling “criminal illegal immigrants” who are destroying America.

“We urge you and other California officials to publicly abandon this apparent criminal conspiracy, stop threatening law enforcement, and prioritize the safety of your citizens,” Blanche concludes her letter.
“In the meantime, federal agents and officers will continue to enforce federal law and will not be deterred by the threat of arrest from California authorities who have abdicated their duty to protect their constituents. »
Democrats continue to support illegal aliens while viewing law enforcement as actual criminals deserving of arrest. They are sick.
“Resign or face prosecution,” Blanche added in a message on X. “No one is threatening our agents. No one will stop us from making America safe again.”
Editor’s Note: Schumer’s closure is here. Rather than putting the American people first, Chuck Schumer and radical Democrats forced a government shutdown on health care for illegal immigrants. They own that.
