Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed to investigate a number of top Democrats who are allegedly impeding federal agents.
Speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Bondi accused top Democrats of trying to obstruct federal agents carrying out Trump’s immigration enforcement orders.
On “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Bondi responded to a video of former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announcing a nonprofit called the “ICE Accountability Project” to “unmask” ICE officers and document “purported criminal actions of ICE and CBP agents.”
“Lori Lightfoot, JB ‘Back Ribs’ Pritzker, they are doxing, telling people the whereabouts of I.C.E. agents. Is that legal?” Watters asked Bondi.
“No, and the first time I’ve seen the Lori Lightfoot video was just now on your show. She will be getting a letter from us tomorrow to preserve anything she has done as well to make sure that she’s not violating the law. It appears she is,” Bondi began.
“You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent, where they live, anything that could harm them. Pritzker, same ball game. Nancy Pelosi got a letter today from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, so did Brooke Jenkins, that D.A. in San Francisco. We told them to preserve your emails, preserve everything you have on this topic, because if you are telling people to arrest our I.C.E. officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that, you are impeding an investigation, and we will charge them if they think I won’t they have not met me because we will charge them if they are violating the law,” Bondi added.
“We will protect our federal agents. They are out there working nonstop as you are showing right now, during a shutdown. These people are working to keep Californians safe yet you have Pelosi out there saying to obstruct their investigation. You cannot do it and we are going to investigate her now as well as that d.a. Pritzker is on the list, too,” Bondi continued.
Watters jumped in and asked, “I’m not a lawyer but these are warning letters, you send these out to say preserve documents, you’ve been warned you could face legal action if this continues?”
“That’s right. They got these letters today in California because they cannot impede a federal investigation, they cannot impede federal officers doing their jobs,” the attorney general explained.
“They are out there risking their lives every single day and night to keep the people of California safe, yet these lawmakers are insane. They are truly insane by what they are doing and Donald Trump is not going to put up with it. We are going to protect our men and women in blue, we are going to protect all of our law enforcement agents, and these politicians are not going to get away with it anymore,” Bondi added.
