“California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Wednesday condemned a memo from the Trump administration threatening the prosecution of state and local officials who resist or refuse to comply with federal immigration enforcement agents, calling it a ‘scare tactic.’ ‘The President is attempting to intimidate and bully state and local law enforcement into carrying out his mass deportation agenda for him,’ Bonta said in a statement.
