After California received a letter from U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi on sanctuary policies, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office responded by reminding Bondi of the state’s right to refrain from assisting federal immigration enforcement.
The Democratic governor’s office also cited the ethical standards attorneys licensed to practice in California must follow.
Bondi sent a letter to various states and cities on Aug. 13, threatening to criminally prosecute state and local officials who “use their official position to obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts and facilitate and induce illegal immigration,” according to a press release from Newsom on Tuesday.
Bondi also said the Department of Justice determined California engages in sanctuary policies that prevent federal immigration enforcement from accomplishing the interests of the United States, according to a letter Newsom’s office wrote on behalf of the governor to Bondi on Tuesday.
