The Justice Department wants federal prosecutors across the country to investigate state or local officials who obstruct immigration enforcement under President Trump’s new administration, according to a new memo obtained by Fox News.
“The Department of Justice must and will work to root out these threats,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, Trump’s former attorney, wrote in the memo. “Indeed, it is the Justice Department’s responsibility to defend the Constitution and accordingly lawfully implement the policies the American people have chosen through President Trump.”
