The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people. This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.

A Brooklyn man was charged today with threatening to assault and murder a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) officer outside an ICE detention facility.

“Federal law enforcement officers face danger with great courage, and they should be able to do their jobs without being threatened and fearing for their families’ lives,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “We take such threats very seriously and will prosecute those who make them to the fullest extent of the law.”

Promises made, Promises kept.

[Acting AG Todd Blanche @DAGToddBlanche]

Today @TheJusticeDept charged rioter Brendan John Geier for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall last night. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks on ICE officers we’ve seen in New Jersey the last few days. These riots are clearly not “peaceful protests” as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds. Assault a federal officer, you’ll be held accountable.

Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche joined The @WillCainShow today and discussed the eight-count indictment against dual Iranian-Iraqi national Al-Saadi.

“As alleged in the indictment, this man was threatening all kinds of mayhem all over this country, in Canada, and elsewhere. And this is the kind of real threats that the brave men and women of law enforcement are protecting us from every day. It’s a very important case, with very serious charges and it's a good thing that he’s in jail.”

🚨Justice Department Sues States for Denying Undercover License Plates to Federal Law Enforcement

This comes after each state refused to rescind their unconstitutional policies in response to a prompt letter from the Department explaining the policies’ illegality.

"By denying undercover license plates to DHS components, including ICE, while issuing them to their own state agencies, these governors are pursuing discriminatory and obstructionist policies against federal law enforcement. These actions undermine federal immigration enforcement, allow dangerous criminals to escape justice, and terrorize American communities.” - Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche

ICYMI: Jonathan Loadholt, 37, of Staten Island, New York, was sentenced yesterday to 10 years in prison for his participation in a plot directed by the Government of Iran targeting Masih Alinejad, a journalist, author, and human rights activist.

“Tehran attempted to murder a U.S. journalist in the United States simply because she exposed a few of that regime’s many abuses,” said Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg. “The defendant now stands convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence for his role in this plot. The Department and its colleagues will work tirelessly to protect Americans and to seek justice when our laws are broken.”
