DOJ Warns Pelosi, Other California Democrats To ‘Stand Down’ Or Face Consequences For Threats To Arrest Feds

The warning comes after California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi suggested Wednesday that San Francisco police could potentially arrest federal agents if they were found violating state law during U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. In response, Blanche posted a letter on X that he had sent to Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta, Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins.

“California politicians want to arrest federal agents for enforcing federal law. We just sent them a letter: Stand down or face prosecution. No one threatens our agents. No one will stop us from Making America Safe Again,” Blanche wrote in his post.

Within the letter to the California Democrats, Blanche wrote that instead of “supporting and working” with federal officials, the lawmakers have called for state and local law enforcement to “arrest” officers “enforcing federal laws enacted by the U.S. Congress, including federal immigration laws.” (RELATED: Illegal Alien Won Anti-ICE ‘Certificate’ From City Before Allegedly Ramming Feds With Car)

Blanche added that any attempt to arrest federal agents would be considered by the DOJ as “both illegal and futile.”

“Accordingly, you are hereby directed to preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,” the letter continues. “We urge you and other California officials to publicly abandon this apparent criminal conspiracy, to stop threatening law enforcement, and to prioritize the safety of your citizens.”

“In the meantime, federal agents and officers will continue to enforce federal law and will not be deterred by the threat of arrest by California authorities who have abdicated their duty to protect their constituents,” Blanche’s letter concludes.
