he administration of President Donald Trump, clearly expecting pushback to immigration enforcement from Democrat-run states and cities, has issued a new memo meant to ensure their compliance.
Emil Bove, acting deputy attorney general at the Justice Department, wrote in a memo to staffers Tuesday that the supremacy clause of the Constitution requires “state and local actors to comply with the Executive Branch’s immigration enforcement initiatives,” according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Washington Post.
“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands,” Bove wrote.
