‘Washington will not be’: Governor Ferguson threatened Trump Admin on sanctuary laws; It is said that ‘Palm is not afraid by Bondi or President’. world News

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson vowed on Tuesday that the state would not be afraid of the threats of the US Attorney General Palm Bondi or potential criminal cases of cases against the leaders of the so -called sanctuary states and cities. Bondi sent a letter to Ferguson last week, informing him that Washington was identified by the White House as a jurisdiction that is “attached to the sanctuary policies” being obstructing the federal immigration enforcement. He warned of consequences to prevent federal grants and allegedly use the authorities to “obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts and facilitate or motivate illegal immigration.” Ferguson held a news conference after noon in the state reception room of the legislative building in Olympia, where he reacted to the August 13 letter. Bondi’s letter had demanded that the Governor leaves the state’s sanctuary policies, setting Tuesday’s deadline for a answer. The state of Washington, he wrote, was a “sanctuary” jurisdiction that disappointed the federal immigration enforcement for the loss of national interests. He further warned that the officers obstructing such efforts may face criminal allegations, while non -local and state governments may face civil liability. “(Attorney General) Palm Bondi … Washington tries to fold the knee for a Trump administration, which day -old, takes us closer to totalitarianism. It is not going to happen,” Ferguson said. “I am not afraid of Palm Bondi, or President.”Quoting Bondi’s letter as a dangerous growth, Ferguson said it reflects the demands that “bends the knee” to the Governor and the Mayor President. “It is breathtaking, and such a letter cannot be normalized,” he said. “I must be very clear. The state of Washington will not be threatened or legally threatened or frightened by baseless allegations.” He said, “In the US that I love, that I taught me to pay homage to my children, we peacefully resolve our differences through public discourse – and if necessary, through courts – not threatening political opponents with imprisonment,” he said. The Governor highlighted the state’s 2019 law, The Keep Washington Working Act, which limits the role of local law enforcement in assisting federal officials on immigration matters. The law only prevents police from arresting or detaining individuals based on their immigration status and prevents people from placing people for federal custody until a warrant signed by a judge or magistrate is presented with an order or court order. The Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown of the state of Washington have consistently defended the law, ensuring that it does not interfere with the federal government’s ability to implement immigration laws. Brown’s office has repeatedly argued that the Act does not fail the federal right. Ferguson was included in the news conference by the immigration rights advocates, state MLAs and Mayor of Seattle, who also received a similar letter as a sanctuary jurisdiction from Bondi Naming Seattle. According to Bondi, notices sent to the state of Seattle and Washington were part of the 32 letters issued to the governors and mayors of the “Sanctuary” courts led by Democratic last week.
