Attorney General Pam Bondi is following in the footsteps of her predecessors by filing lawsuits against Illinois and New York for not enforcing federal immigration laws. She has expressed her determination by threatening non-compliant states, suggesting that more legal action will follow. Critics highlight the established legal precedent supporting state autonomy against federal immigration enforcement, pointing to previous rulings that emphasize states' rights and the Tenth Amendment. Illinois' recent legal motions reaffirm the unchanged nature of its laws and the legal standards governing these immigration issues.
Bondi has steered the Justice Department into a couple of trollsuits against Illinois and New York over the blue states' refusal to carry out federal immigration regulations.
As for integrity, well ... she's in a league of her own.
Illinois law hasn't changed since then. Nor has Congress modified 8 U.S.C. § 1373 and § 1644, the statutes relied on here by the DOJ.
If you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next. Get ready,
Collection
