Episode Details

Gov. Bob Ferguson rejected threats from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold federal funds if Washington does not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. At a Capitol press conference, Ferguson vowed the state “will not be bullied,” while Attorney General Nick Brown also warned of troubling ultimatums. The standoff centers on Washington’s Keep Washington Working Act, which limits local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Bondi has threatened funding cuts and prosecutions, but Ferguson said if taken to court, “we will defeat you.” This report was first published by the Washington State Standard. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/wa-gov-ferguson-responds-to-bondi-letter-with-defiance/ #WashingtonState #BobFerguson #PamBondi #Immigration #SanctuaryPolicies #KeepWashingtonWorkingAct #NickBrown #FederalFunding #DOJ #TrumpAdministration
