The law also prevents certain federal agencies from accessing the New York State’s driver’s license information.

“They have laws of green light, which means they give a green light to any illegal alien in New York, where law enforcement authorities cannot control their identity if they pull them over,” Bondi said. “And law enforcement authorities do not have access to their background. And if these great men and women pull over anyone and do not have access to their background, they have no idea who they are dealing with and it puts their lives on the line each only day.

“If you do not comply with federal law, we will keep you in charge,” Bondi said. “We did it against Illinois, beat one. Strike two is New York. And if you are a state that does not comply with federal law, you are next. Get ready.”

Last week, the Ministry of Justice asked a federal judge to shut down sanctuary in Illinois and Chicago.

Bondi, along with “Angel Mom” ​​Tammy Nobles from Maryland, whose 20-year-old daughter, Kayla Hamilton, was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant and MS-13 member in 2022.

The Department of Homeland Security “did not perform their jobs,” NoBles said Wednesday and sometimes strangled tears back while sharing her family’s story.

“They didn’t check his background,” she said. “I am so grateful to PAM for having me here today and I am so grateful for the opportunities I got from Trump and and any other platform – and for the people (allow) to share her story because this goes to the end .

During the news conference, Bondi urged states with shrine policies to comply with federal legislation.

“We won’t sue you. We don’t want to prosecute people. We want people to comply with the law,” she said. “This is very simple. An MS-13 member murdered his daughter. It happens throughout this country.

“An Engelmor is for many,” she added. “And we have angel mothers throughout this country who should not go through this. Comply with the law. This is the last thing we will do. “
