Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a sweeping memo filled with new Justice Department directives immediately after being sworn in Tuesday evening that included cutting off funds to “sanctuary” jurisdictions that shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities.

Bondi has been a strong critic of sanctuary cities, particularly those led by Democrats, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. She has argued in the past that these policies undermine law enforcement and national security.

A longtime advocate for stricter border security measures, Bondi aligns with the Trump administration’s position on illegal immigration.

Bondi, in her memo, also directed the DOJ to identify and reassess all funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that assist illegal immigrants, Fox News first reported, among other wide-ranging directives.

The memo includes a directive regarding “zealous advocacy,” where the new AG noted that the responsibility of DOJ attorneys includes “aggressively enforcing criminal laws passed by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.”
