Bondi puts sanctuary cities nationwide on notice after DC police federal takeover

GREENVILLE, S.C. – U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, temporarily leading Washington, D.C.'s police at President Donald Trump's request, announced Thursday that she had sent letters giving sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide one week to comply with federal immigration laws or face Department of Justice action, contrasting South Carolina with Democratic states like New York and California. Bondi was in Greenville, South Carolina, on Thursday for a panel discussion with state Attorney General Alan Wilson, several members of Congress and local law enforcement agencies. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital moments before the announcement, Bondi responded to whether temporary federalization of local police departments could be done beyond D.C., such as in New York or elsewhere. "Oh, let's wait and see what's going to happen," Bondi told Fox News Digital's Danielle Wallace. "But I just sent sanctuary city letters to 32 mayors around the country and multiple governors saying, 'you better be abiding by our federal policies and with our federal law enforcement, because if you aren't, we're going to come after you.' And they have, I think, a week to respond to me, so let's see who responds and how they respond." Bondi announced on social media that the DOJ has sent "demand letters" to sanctuary cities, counties and states as "a key step in our strategic effort to eradicate sanctuary policies from California to New York." Threatening lawsuits, she said that "any sanctuary jurisdiction that continues to put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens can either come to the table or see us in court." After Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's primary win in June, the New York City Police Department reportedly saw retirement filings surge. Bondi, who criticized incumbent Mayor Eric Adams over the city's sanctuary status in the past, told Fox News Digital on Thursday it's crucial for officers' safety for them to have strong leadership. Adams has cooperated with border czar Tom Homan on federal immigration enforcement. "It starts at the top and our leaders have to support our law enforcement," Bondi told Fox News Digital. "They risk their lives every single day to keep us safe. There's no ordinary day in the life of a police officer nor for their families, because they leave the house every day, and they don't know what to expect. And our government, our leaders, have got to back them and that's got to happen in New York. We have got back our law enforcement. We've got to back the NYPD. We have to back all of our federal, state and local officers around this country." Wilson, meanwhile, noted that slain Georgia nursing student Laken Riley's killer had been arrested in New York City and was released under the sanctuary policies there. "Obviously, here in South Carolina, we have excellent relationships, but it's also important that we support them in other states," Wilson told Fox News Digital. "Obviously, we all remember Laken Riley, a young woman in Georgia who was murdered. That individual had been arrested and released in New York state and then came to Georgia and committed that crime. So it affects us all when other states don't step up and are able to enforce the laws, it could have impacts on law enforcement in other states as well." Bondi highlighted one letter she sent to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in which she warned that "individuals operating under the color of law, using their official position to obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts and facilitating or inducing illegal immigration may be subject to criminal charges." The letter, which was shared on social media, said cooperation between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, including on immigration enforcement, "is vital to enforce federal law and protect national security." "Under President Trump's leadership, full cooperation by state and local governments in immigration enforcement efforts is a top priority," Bondi wrote, saying Trump directed her to "identify sanctuary jurisdictions and notify them of their unlawful sanctuary status and potential violations of federal law." In Greenville on Thursday, Bondi pointed to South Carolina as a model of federal, state and local law enforcement "working hand in hand." Thanking Wilson for advocating for increased partnerships with the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and U.S. Marshals, Bondi told Fox News Digital a member of the Sinaloa Cartel was recently busted after "massive amounts" of cocaine were seized in Myrtle Beach. Wilson credited such strong cooperation to law enforcement recently being able to make the largest fentanyl seizure in South Carolina's history. Last month, DEA agents, Lexington County Sheriff's deputies, and South Carolina State Transport Police made two coordinated traffic stops in two South Carolina counties, resulting in 156 pounds of fentanyl being seized. Two brothers from California were arrested and indicted in connection with the case. The Justice Department said that seized fentanyl had the potential to kill 36 million people and a street retail value of $1.7 million. In her letter to Newsom, Bondi said Trump also directed federal agencies to evaluate their authority to issue grants, contracts and federal funds "to determine where immigration-related terms and conditions may be added to combat sanctuary policies." Noting that Congress has "codified the duty of states and local governments to cooperate in immigration enforcement efforts," the letter said Bondi ordered investigations to identify "any such potential unlawful conduct." Newsom's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Bondi's letter comes roughly a week after the DOJ identified nearly three dozen cities, states and counties across the country that it said were sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. Bondi said in a statement at the time that the cities and states, which mostly lean blue, have immigration policies that "impede law enforcement and put American citizens at risk by design." "The Department of Justice will continue bringing litigation against sanctuary jurisdictions and work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to eradicate these harmful policies around the country," Bondi said. Four of the states on the DOJ's list – California, New York, Colorado and Illinois – have already faced lawsuits over their immigration policies. Others on the list include Delaware, Nevada, Minnesota and D.C. The lawsuit in Illinois is the furthest along in the court process and has not played out in DOJ's favor at this stage. A federal judge tossed out the Justice Department's claims, saying Illinois' state and local policies were protected by the Constitution and that the DOJ's lawsuit encroached on Illinois' sovereignty. The DOJ could still appeal the decision or amend its complaint.

DC's highest crime neighborhoods have yet to see Trump crackdown

While Guardsmen were out in force on the tourist-friendly National Mall, there was little sign of troops and federal agents in some of Washington, DC's most crime-ridden neighborhoods. WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops has produced Humvees on the National Mall and roving bands of agents in tourist areas as part of his stated effort to crack down on crime in the nation's capital. But many residents of the city's highest-crime neighborhoods say they haven't yet seen the results of Trump's surge in the places it is needed the most. "He probably doesn't even know where Anacostia is," Charles Wilson, whose neighborhood has one of DC's highest rates of murder and violent crime. Wilson says the low-income area in DC's Ward 8 has endured several shootouts in which bullets struck houses, cars and even lodged in children's bedrooms in recent years. "I think this is all pomp and circumstance,' Wilson says, 'to distract people from everything else he is doing." As part of Trump's Aug. 11 campaign to take 'our capital back" from crime and the homeless the federal government has also seized control of Washington's Metropolitan Police Department. Some Anacostia residents welcome crime-fighting help from Trump Like others interviewed in Anacostia by USA TODAY the afternoon and night of Aug. 13, Wilson said he would welcome the presence of more law enforcement – as long as they're trained in community policing and there to help his neighborhood reduce crime and violence. More: How DC's unique status let Trump take control of police, deploy National Guard Wilson, 49, has lived in the Southeast DC community for over 20 years. On July 18, 2024, he was awakened at about 2:30 a.m. by what sounded like a war on his hilly suburban street just around the corner from the historic Frederick Douglass estate. When he obtained a neighbor's doorbell camera footage and posted it online, the video of two men running up and down his street shooting at each other for nearly a minute went viral. 'Hearing it was one thing, but watching it was something else,' said Wilson, a longtime community activist and chair of the DC Democratic Party. He said the issue isn't a political one; Democratic and Republican neighbors alike want to see the benefits of what Trump claims is a new campaign to improve the city. So far, he said, 'Nothing's new here. I don't see anything different.' 'I don't see anything being done here,' said longtime Anacostia resident Tina Harris as she walked along Marion Barry Avenue, named after the former DC mayor. 'I think it's clearly a diversion from the real issues,' including Trump's budget cuts for local social services and police, she said. Trump announced his actions to "to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse," after a high-profile assault on a former staffer of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), 19-year-old Edward Coristine, that occurred in the early morning hours of Aug. 3. during an attempted carjacking. Mayor Muriel Bowser disputed Trump's justification for declaring a crime emergency, calling it a 'so-called emergency' and noting that crime has been trending down after spiking in 2023. But crime in Ward 8 – including homicide, motor vehicle theft, robbery and assaults with dangerous weapons – have historically been nearly twice that of any other ward of the city. A few blocks from Wilson's house, a Metropolitan Police Department cruiser sat parked at an intersection with its lights slowly flashing. The officer inside, like two other officers interviewed by USA TODAY throughout the evening, said he was just making his regular rounds and that he'd seen no uptick in law enforcement or military presence there or in neighboring Ward 7, another high-crime zone. All three officers declined to give their names, saying they weren't authorized to talk publicly. One of the officers, however, said that as a DC resident, he welcomed the extra resources Trump has authorized, which have also been supported by the police union. One Anacostia resident, standing outside his home and watching the cruiser, confirmed that the officer was a neighborhood beat cop – and that he's seen no additional MPD officers, federal agents or National Guard troops since Trump made his announcement, despite nightly gunshots, carjackings and other crime. He too declined to give his name, citing a pending background check for a job. Darrell Gaston, the chef and founder of nearby Kitchen Savages, showed USA TODAY the front windows of his upscale restaurant that he had to replace after they were shattered by a recent gun battle between the occupants of two cars. The wild shootout sent a street light careening into the eatery. Gaston, a four-term Advisory Neighborhood Commission member, said he'd seen some evidence of an uptick in security, including a few Guard troops and federal agents a block away. What he'd like to see instead, Gaston said, was more DC police officers 'who specialize in community engagement and in protecting communities, which hopefully does lead to a decrease in crime.' 'Moreover, hopefully it doesn't lead to an increase in the rights of citizens being violated,' Gaston said of Trump's surge. 'Because when MPD violates your rights, there's a protocol to follow for it to be addressed. If the FBI or the DEA violates your rights, who do you go to?' Ward 8 has seen an overall decline in violent crime this year, but homicides held steady at 38 compared with the same period in 2024, according to Metropolitan Police Department statistics. A swarm of federal agents closer to Capitol Hill Back across the Anacostia river near the Capitol, the rough-and-tumble H Street commercial and nightlife corridor appeared quiet the night of Aug. 13. It was the site of one of the attacks cited by Trump – the 2023 near-fatal stabbing of an aide to Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky 'by a demented lunatic as he walked down the street just absolutely for no reason.' The only visible security presence was the occasional MPD cruiser driving by. But shop owners and barflies said the area has been swarmed by federal agents and police late at night since Trump's announcement. Johnny Lu showed USA TODAY a video he took of a team of seven FBI, ICE and DEA agents patrolling the area late the night of Aug. 12, questioning and even arresting people for drinking and smoking marijuana in public. Lu welcomed the surge, saying he sees frequent shootings, stabbings, carjackings and robberies outside his Tiki Gardens restaurant. 'MPD is okay, and we have a good relationship with them. But not the feds, especially ICE,' Lu said of the corridor's merchants and residents. 'We've got to be worried about them.'

Indiana police officer arrested, charged in FBI cocaine distribution probe

An Anderson police officer was charged with three counts related to drug trafficking on Aug. 5 after the FBI said he facilitated cocaine purchases in two undercover transactions, according to newly unsealed court records. Ty'Ray Wilson was arrested on suspicion of distributing controlled substances alongside another man for two weeks starting July 21. They face two counts of drug distribution and one count of carrying a firearm during drug trafficking and are eligible for up to $2.25 million in fines and life sentences, according to court records. Wilson began with the Anderson Police Department in 2018, according to his LinkedIn profile. It is unclear if Wilson remains employed with agency, which did not respond to multiple emails and a voicemail to discuss his employment status. Both men were in U.S. Marshal custody as of July 7 records. Their detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 13. Anderson police officer charged in FBI cocaine probe According to federal court records, an informant told the FBI that Wilson previously sold him cocaine twice. The informant, whose identity was hidden, said they'd done cocaine with Wilson before and seen him use cocaine in public. They also said they had at least once seen Wilson have methamphetamine. The FBI began sting operations involving Wilson around late July by providing a "cooperating human source" with monitoring technology and drug money. Both purchases were suspected to be cocaine, the FBI said in court records. During the first sting, the informant met Wilson at an address where his assigned police car was parked. Wilson and the informant got into a black Dodge Rebel and picked up the codefendant, who Wilson said he believed had the cocaine. The three returned to the initial address, where Wilson told the FBI's purchaser to return later to pick up the cocaine. About two hours later, the informant returned and made the purchased cocaine from the codefendant, the FBI said. The agency noted Wilson had a semi-automatic handgun and two phones during the exchange, according to court records. Wilson was not on duty during the transaction. During the second sting about one week later, the FBI made another purchase from the codefendant, who said during the exchange that drug money moved between him and Wilson, according to court documents. The FBI noted the codefendant wore the same handgun on his hip Wilson had during the first exchange, officials said. The FBI collaborated with the Muncie Delaware County Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate Wilson.
