Michael Gates, a prominent Huntington Beach city attorney known for his conflicts with California's Democratic leadership, has been appointed to the U.S. Department of Justice as a deputy assistant attorney general. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to advance the 'America First' agenda and restore law and order. Known for aggressive litigation against state policies, Gates frequently challenged state laws, including sanctuary city regulations. His move comes under U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Trump ally, who aims to reform the department and strengthen election laws.
Gates, 49, joins the Justice Department under U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, who was confirmed by the Senate last week. Bondi, a close ally of Trump, promised to bring reforms to the department.
Gates gained attention in Orange County as an aggressive litigator on behalf of Huntington Beach, frequently picking legal battles with the state's Democratic leaders.
