Stephen Miller's nonprofit, America First Legal, sent letters to California officials and others across the country warning them of potential criminal and civil liability for implementing sanctuary policies that hinder federal immigration enforcement. The letters argue that harboring undocumented immigrants is a crime and that states and cities defying federal immigration law risk legal consequences.
California officials, along with dozens of others across the country, received letters this week from Stephen Miller’s nonprofit, America First Legal, warning them of the consequences for interfering with or impeding illegal immigration enforcement. Miller has been named President-elect Donald Trump 's deputy chief of staff for policy. In a written statement, the nonprofit said it had sent 249 letters to elected officials in states and cities with sanctuary policies.
We’ve got a strong coming in, Pam Bondi, and we will present these prosecutions, so you know, don’t test us.' Bonta issued a statement Friday, calling the threats 'a scare tactic, plain and simple.' The statement goes on to say that California lawmakers adopted Senate Bill 54 in 2017 to ensure that no state and local resources are used to assist with federal immigration enforcement.
