In a recent appearance on Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the actions taken by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Bondi has launched lawsuits against Hochul for her state’s “Green Light Law,” which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses in the state of New York.
Reacting to the lawsuit, Hochul alleged that the legal action was a “worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit,” and predicted it would fail. Similarly, Pritzker defended a similar program in his state and mocked the Trump government.
Reacting, Bondi condemned these two Democrats and vowed to protect Americans by deporting illegal immigrants, warning non-compliant states of the consequences of their actions, and citing victims like Laken Riley to justify the administration’s hardline stance.
In any case, the interaction with one of the journalists posing a question to the AG. The anchor said, “You’ve gone after the states of New York and the states of Illinois, the city of New York and the city of Chicago, for standing in the way of President Trump’s efforts to deport illegal migrant criminals, and you’re going to get a tremendous amount of pushback from both states.”
At this point, the FNC team showed a statement from New York Governor Kathy Hochul. The defiant message read, “We expect Pam Bondi’s worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total failure, just like all the others. Let me be clear: New York is not backing down.”
Playing a clip, the anchor featured a statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. The Democrat alleged, “Unlike Donald Trump, we follow the law in Illinois. Now maybe they put up with this kind of garbage in Florida, which is the home state of the head of the DOJ, but in Illinois, we have grit, we are tough, we are strong, and Donald Trump has no idea what he’s up against when he attacks Illinois.”
Pivoting back to the AG, the reporter asked, “So what do you say to the good governors of Illinois and New York?” Reponding confidently, Bondi declared, Bring it on, we are going to protect Americans when they say they’re tough and they have grit, really, they’re protecting illegal aliens over American citizens.”

Continuing her epic retort to the woke governors, she added, “It’s not going to happen under Donald Trump’s administration. We will find illegal aliens and we will deport them in Illinois, in New York, and in other states, and you better comply with federal law, or you’re going to be next.”
Firing a shot across the bow, she made it very clear what disobedient states could expect from her agency. Bondi stated, “We’ve spoken loud and clear. We are sick and tired of Americans being murdered, and these states protecting illegal aliens.”

Concluding her comments, she gave examples of the consequences of open borders laws, such as the Green Light Law in New York. She asked the politicians to “Talk to the families of Lake and Riley and all of these other young women and men who have been murdered by illegal aliens, and see what you think.”
