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 better than someone stoking stochastic terrorism from the very top, a party that has some members seeking an actual shooting civil war, putting people like Brainworms in charge of our health, and so on.

    I get it, the choices are not great. But I’d take sound stewardship, even if it’s suboptimal, over the complete chaos-stoking and outright plunder the qons plan.
