The post AG Pam Bondi puts ex-Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on notice over her vow to ‘unmask’ ICE agents appeared first on My Blog.
]]>During an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Bondi reacted to a clip of Lightfoot talking about how she wants to create a real-time portal to track “purported criminal actions of ICE and CBP agents” and “unmask” them.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the Lori Lightfoot video was just now on your show,” she told host Jesse Watters. “She will be getting a letter from us tomorrow to preserve anything she has done as well, to make sure that she’s not violating the law. It appears she is. You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent — where they live, anything that could harm them.”
Lightfoot made the comments on FOX32 Chicago’s “Chicago Report.” She said she and other attorneys are creating a nonprofit called “The ICE Accountability Project.”

Lightfoot said it would be a “centralized archive of all the purported criminal actions of ICE and CBP agents” that would spit out real-time updates to the public.
“We start the process of unmasking the agents,” she said. She claimed she has a constitutional right to document what’s happening because they are on public property.
Bondi said it’s not just Lightfoot she’s looking into.

“Pritzker, same ball game. Nancy Pelosi got a letter today from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, so did Brooke Jenkins – that DA in San Francisco,” she said. “We told them: ‘preserve your emails, preserve everything you have on this topic.’ Because if you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that. You are impeding an investigation, and we will charge them.”
The letter Bondi referenced cites several federal statutes that criminalize assaulting, impeding or conspiring against federal officers. It also notes that the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution dictates state officials cannot prosecute federal agents for actions taken in the course of their duties.

Blanche directed California leaders to “preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,” forewarning that the Department of Justice will investigate and prosecute any official who violates federal statutes.
Bondi doubled down on the vow to charge them during her interview with Watters, saying: “If they think I won’t, they have not met me.”

]]>“I am always going to vote country over my party and if I pay a price within my base, that’s something I am willing to do,” Fetterman said.
Fetterman has been outspoken in his criticism of the shutdown, vocalizing his priorities to fund the military and Capitol Police over party politics. He noted that he’s one of only two Democrats voting to keep the government open.
“I’m not afraid to tell my truth and if I’m going to pay a penalty, I’m not afraid of that,” Fetterman told host Sean Hannity. “It’s wrong to shut our government down.”

This comes after Fetterman labeled the 22-day-long shutdown a “failure” in a post to X Wednesday.
Looming cuts to critical government programs have struck a chord with the Pennsylvania Democrat.
“I refuse to vote to suspend SNAP for millions of Pennsylvanians in my state and across the entire nation,” he insisted.

Millions of Pennsylvanians and 42 million Americans rely on food boughtwith assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income families afford nutritious groceries. The largely federally funded program is reportedly expected to be cut if the shutdown continues.
“That’sgoing to be suspended because our government is shut down,” Fetterman said. “I can’t ever vote for that kind of mass food insecurity.”

The Democratic senator also condemned what he described as “extreme” rhetoric from party leaders, referencing President Donald Trump being labeled a “fascist.”
“Extreme kinds of rhetoric make it easier for those extreme kinds of actions,” he said.
“I refuse to be a part of it and comparing people to Hitler and those things,” he added. “If that’s what’s required to win, then I refuse to.”

Fetterman cautioned that inflammatory language is steering the country in the wrong direction, saying, “We’ve lost the plot.”
“I refuse to call my fellow citizens fascists or Nazis or those things,” Fetterman said. “If somebody wants to primary me or the party wants to vote me out, I’m going to go down being honest and telling you that this is wrong.”
Fetterman urged both parties to return to decency and cooperation, saying he’s willing to take political heat if it means standing up for his convictions.
“It’s just basic humanity and we’re forgetting that we all need each other,” he concluded.
