In his early hours as attorney generalPAM Bondi issued a wide list of directives that included a review of the Department of Justice of President Trump’s prosecutions, a reorientation of the department’s work to focus on more severe punishments, actions that punish the so -called “sanctuary” cities and the end of the Diversity initiatives in the department.
Bondi was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday night and swore in front of President Trump by the Judge of the Supreme Court Clarence Thomas in the Oval office on Wednesday afternoon.
The attorney general established a “weapon working group” to review the application policies of the Biden Administration Law. The initial approach of the working group will be the cases of Trump in New York, the accusation persecuted by the district prosecutor of Manhattan Alvin Bragg and Civil application action Brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, none of which involved federal prosecutors. The group will also review the two federal cases against Mr. Trump pursued by Special Jack Smith advice and will examine the prosecutions of the protesters who assaulted the Capitol of the United States on January 6, 2021.
As the Department of Justice began to collect information about the FBI agents who worked on the investigations of January 6 and fired the career prosecutors who worked in the cases, Bondi said in his directive that the working group would investigate “tactics of Inappropriate research and unusual prosecutions “versus” versus “actions in good faith of federal employees simply following orders.”
Bondi is also accusing the Biden administration of Americans and Catholic parents at the meetings of the School Board, and abusing Face Law – deceased in 1994 – What makes it illegal damage, threaten or interfere with an individual “obtain or provide reproductive health services” or damage an installation “because said installation provides reproductive health.” These efforts will also be reviewed by the working group.
The new group “will review the activities of all departments and agencies that exercise the civil or criminal compliance authority in the United States … to identify cases in which the conduct of an department or agency seems to have been designed to achieve political objectives or Other inappropriate objectives instead of pursuing justice or legitimate governmental objectives, “Bondi wrote. He added that his department would provide quarterly reports to the White House about the group’s findings.
Bondi also addressed the sanctuary jurisdictions with an order to put an end to the funds to anyone who “illegally interferes with the federal operations of application of the law.” She encouraged the department to carry out compliance actions against cities or sanctuary states that do not meet the immigration efforts of the federal government.
“State and local jurisdictions must comply with federal laws related to applicable immigration,” says a memorandum, and adds that “state and local actors may not prevent, obstruct or not comply with legal directives related to immigration.”
In a separate note aimed at posters and transnational criminal organizations, Bondi ordered “additional resources and reflexive collection decisions” to combat illegal drug trafficking and seek “total elimination” of these groups.
Bondi also ended a moratorium on federal executions established by former President Joe Biden, who had finished federal executions during his presidency. In 2020, Trump’s first administration carried out 10 executions after they had stopped for 17 years.
“In the future, the Department of Justice will act once again as required by law,” says a memorandum, “even looking for death sentences in appropriate cases and quickly implementing those sentences in accordance with the law.” The memorandum emphasizes that prosecutors should seek the death penalty in cases involving the murder of an agent of the law or a capital crime for an illegal immigrant.
Another memorandum establishes a working group to “prioritize the search for justice” for the victims of the terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023 in Israel perpetrated by Hamas, emphasizing that the department is investigating the leadership of Hamas, the agency of relief and United Nations (UNRWA) works, and “individuals and entities based in the US. UU. Which provide funds to Hamas”.
Bondi also ended all efforts of diversity, equity and inclusion within the Department of Justice and ordered a full -time return to work for the employees of the department before Monday, February 24. The Department of Justice did not reveal the percentage of personnel who have been working remotely.
