Newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi wasted no time in executing President Donald Trump’s agenda to eliminate Deep State influence and restore law and order. One of her first major directives was cutting off federal funding to sanctuary cities that shield illegal immigrants from deportation, a move that immediately halts financial support for jurisdictions defying federal law.
Bondi also established the Weaponization Working Group, a task force dedicated to identifying politically motivated prosecutions and abuses of power within federal law enforcement. The group is set to review a range of cases, including those tied to January 6, to determine if government officials improperly used their authority to target political opponents.
Her crackdown on sanctuary cities means that all grants and contracts involving these jurisdictions will be paused, pending a full review. This includes funding previously allocated under the Biden administration, which had directed billions of taxpayer dollars to cities refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
Additionally, Bondi has ordered a sweeping internal review of the Justice Department to identify officials who may have acted in bad faith or obstructed Trump’s policies in prior years. The Trump administration has signaled that those found to have engaged in politically motivated actions could face removal or disciplinary action.
Bondi’s appointment marks a clear shift in the DOJ’s priorities, aligning with Trump’s broader efforts to dismantle bureaucratic resistance within federal agencies. Her swift action in targeting sanctuary policies, investigating political prosecutions, and restoring integrity to the DOJ is already making waves.
Alongside these initiatives, Bondi has indicated plans to prioritize stronger law enforcement measures, including the elimination of criminal networks that have benefited from weak immigration policies. Her tenure is expected to bring significant reforms as she works to reshape the DOJ’s mission under Trump’s leadership.
