Department of Justice Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove – who got a government job despite failing to prevent a jury from convicting his client Donald Trump on 34 felony counts – on Wednesday ordered all US Attorneys’ offices to open investigations into state and local officials who obstruct federal authorities from conducting removals of undocumented migrants the AP reports.
Bove wrote that federal prosecutors must “take all steps necessary to protect the public and secure the American border by removing illegal aliens from the country and prosecuting illegal aliens for crimes,” which seems to sound like he wants the FBI and US Attorneys to step in if a Guatemalan illegal immigrant sticks up a 7-Eleven. Also seems a little shy of ordering the US Marine Corps to do house-to-house sweeps of Latino neighborhoods to round up millions of undocumented.
