FEDERAL WARNING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sent a letter to top California leaders warning them not to interfere with federal immigration enforcement, calling any attempt to arrest or impede agents “illegal and futile” after Rep. Nancy Pelosi and others threatened action against federal officers…. Details ⤵️

In a fiery escalation that’s sending shockwaves through the nation, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has issued a direct warning to top California leaders — including Governor Gavin Newsom and Rep. Nancy Pelosi — ordering them not to interfere with federal immigration operations.

According to the letter, Blanche called any attempt to “arrest or impede” federal agents “illegal and futile,” making it clear that the Justice Department won’t tolerate political obstruction in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The warning comes just hours after Pelosi and several California lawmakers threatened legal and physical pushback against planned federal raids, claiming they were “acts of cruelty” and a “war on immigrant families.”

But Blanche’s message couldn’t be more blunt:

> “Federal law is supreme. Any state or local action that seeks to block duly authorized immigration enforcement will be met with swift legal response.”

Insiders say the Department of Justice is preparing emergency injunctions in case California attempts to use state law enforcement to counter federal operations — a move that could spark a full-scale constitutional showdown between Washington and Sacramento.

Critics are calling it a political powder keg, while supporters of Blanche’s stance say it’s long overdue after years of what they describe as “selective defiance” by California officials.

As the standoff deepens, Americans are watching closely — wondering whether this could mark the next major clash between state and federal power since the sanctuary city debates began.
