America First Legal sent letters to dozens of officials across the country, warning of possible incarceration or a civil RICO case if they follow their local policies meant to protect immigrants.

Summary

Stephen Miller’s legal group, America First Legal Foundation, sent letters warning officials in sanctuary jurisdictions of potential “serious consequences,” including civil racketeering charges and prison time, for defying federal immigration laws.

The letters target 249 officials in areas restricting cooperation with ICE, such as San Diego County.

While courts have previously rejected similar anti-sanctuary efforts, the move signals aggressive immigration enforcement plans under Trump’s incoming administration.

Critics argue the threats highlight a broader strategy to intimidate and enforce mass deportation policies.

    Still beating this strawman?

    The Uncommitted movement warned Trump would be bad. Everyone knows this. They gave clear minimal criteria for Harris to get their endorsement like allowing just one Palestinian to speak at DNC to endorse her and her campaign said no despite allowing Israeli-Americans to speak. She was more willing to throw away votes than cave an inch, in hopes that voters vote for her anyway, and most still did, by that point the loss is on her.
