Gone With the Watchdogs

Could DOJ bring criminal charges against state and local officials who refuse to enforce President Trump’s immigration policies? In an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down a memo written by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directing DOJ attorneys to investigate, and potentially prosecute, officials in sanctuary cities.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: 

– President Donald Trump’s decision to fire more than a dozen inspectors general;

– The firing of federal prosecutors who worked on the Trump prosecutions; 

– The launch of an investigation into the Justice Department’s January 6 prosecutions; and

– A federal judge’s order temporarily freezing Trump’s executive order terminating birthright citizenship.
