Four House Republicans are urging President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute elected officials and left-wing activist groups allegedly subverting the administration’s deportation efforts.
GOP Reps. Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andy Harris of Maryland, Eric Burlison of Missouri and Pete Sessions of Texas sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi Tuesday, exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. House Republicans’ urging the DOJ to pursue legal action against those violating federal law comes after multiple reports of left-wing organizations and elected officials colluding to help illegal migrants evade federal immigration authorities
“We write today to applaud your prosecution of Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James and to respectfully request that you continue prosecuting individuals, organizations and elected officials who aid and abet illegal aliens in evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers,” the Republican lawmakers wrote. “Assisting aliens in avoiding deportation is illegal; therefore, we urge you to continue upholding the integrity of the American system.”
“Far-left politicians and nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] are flouting the law under the assumption that it will not be enforced. We ask that you demonstrate that such violations will not be tolerated.”
