DOJ Warns Pelosi to ‘Stand Down’ or Face Ramifications After She Threatened to Arrest ICE Agents – RedState

Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche fired off a warning letter to several prominent California Democrats, noting that recent threats to arrest federal ICE agents could prompt an investigation and prosecution.





The letter came in response to Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (CA-11) public suggestion that local or state police could detain ICE agents if they are found to have violated state laws.

Blanche hammered Democrats for not supporting federal immigration officers in their efforts to enforce the law and instead threatening them with their own arrests. Additionally, he essentially warned them to back off.

“The Department of Justice views any arrests of federal agents and officers in the performance of their official duties as both illegal and futile,” he wrote. “Numerous federal laws prohibit interfering with and impeding immigration or other law-enforcement operations.”

Blanche, pointing to the Supremacy Clause as an example, warns that the DOJ will “investigate and prosecute any state or local official” who attempts to defy federal statutes.

The letter was addressed to Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, all Democrats.

Blanche goes on to advise the recipients to “preserve all written and electronic communications and records related to any attempts or efforts to impede or obstruct federal law enforcement officials,” strongly suggesting they “publicly abandon” threats against ICE agents.

RedState’s Nick Arama reported on the “despicable” threat issued by Pelosi and Democrat Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) earlier this week.

“It is important to note that California law protects communities and prevents federal agents from taking certain actions here that we have witnessed in other states,” the duo said in a statement. 

“While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not,” they continued. “Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.”

Pelosi and Mullin went on to praise “patriotic immigrants” for reinvigorating America, which is an odd way to spell “criminal illegal immigrants” who are destroying America.





“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,” Blanche concludes in his letter. 

“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.”

Democrats continue to support illegal aliens while viewing law enforcement as the true criminals deserving of arrest. They are sick.

“Stand down or face prosecution,” Blanche added in a post on X. “No one threatens our agents. No one will stop us from Making America Safe Again.”


Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
