Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a warning letter to several prominent California Democrats, cautioning that recent threats to arrest federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents could lead to a federal investigation and possible prosecution.<\/p>\n

The letter was sent in response to comments from Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggesting that state or local law enforcement could detain ICE agents if they were found to have violated California law.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Blanche criticized Democratic leaders for failing to support federal immigration officers and instead threatening them with arrest. He also made clear that continued interference with federal law enforcement operations would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Justice views any arrests of federal agents and officers in the performance of their official duties as both illegal and futile,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNumerous federal laws prohibit interfering with and impeding immigration or other law-enforcement operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blanche, pointing to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution as an example, warned that the DOJ will \u201cinvestigate and prosecute any state or local official\u201d who attempts to defy federal statutes.<\/p>\n

The letter was addressed to Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, all Democrats.<\/p>\n

He went on to advise the recipients to \u201cpreserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,\u201d strongly suggesting they \u201cpublicly abandon\u201d threats against ICE agents.<\/p>\n
