Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche from the Department of Justice has issued a stern caution to several influential Democrats in California. The warning letter highlights potential legal action against threats to detain federal ICE agents, a move that could lead to an investigation and possible charges.

This communication was a direct response to Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi’s (CA-11) recent remarks. She suggested that local or state law enforcement could potentially arrest ICE agents if they breach state regulations.

Blanche criticized the Democrats for failing to support federal immigration officers in their lawful duties, instead threatening them with arrest. He essentially advised them to reconsider their stance.

He stated, “The Department of Justice considers any attempts to apprehend federal agents performing their official roles as not only illegal but also pointless.” He emphasized that various federal statutes protect against interference with immigration and other law enforcement activities.

Blanche referenced the Supremacy Clause, underscoring that the DOJ is prepared to “investigate and prosecute any state or local official” who challenges federal laws.

Blanche, pointing to the Supremacy Clause as an example, warns that the DOJ will “investigate and prosecute any state or local official” who attempts to defy federal statutes.

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

Blanche goes on to advise the recipients to “preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,” strongly suggesting they “publicly abandon” threats against ICE agents.

READ MORE: Pelosi’s Despicable Threat to Federal Agents About Action in San Francisco Area

Democrats’ Odds of Gaining Control of the House Are Sinking Fast, New Numbers Show

RedState’s Nick Arama reported on the “despicable” threat issued by Pelosi and Democrat Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) earlier this week.

“It is important to note that California law protects communities and prevents federal agents from taking certain actions here that we have witnessed in other states,” the duo said in a statement. 

“While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not,” they continued. “Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.”

Pelosi and Mullin went on to praise “patriotic immigrants” for reinvigorating America, which is an odd way to spell “criminal illegal immigrants” who are destroying America.

“We urge you and other California officials to publicly abandon this apparent criminal conspiracy, to stop threatening law enforcement, and to prioritize the safety of your citizens,” Blanche concludes in his letter. 

“In the meantime, federal agents and officers will continue to enforce federal law and will not be deterred by the threat of arrest by California authorities who have abdicated their duty to protect their constituents.”

Democrats continue to support illegal aliens while viewing law enforcement as the true criminals deserving of arrest. They are sick.

“Stand down or face prosecution,” Blanche added in a post on X. “No one threatens our agents. No one will stop us from Making America Safe Again.”

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
