In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital moments before the announcement, Bondi responded to whether temporary federalization of local police departments could be done beyond D.C., such as in New York or elsewhere.
"Oh, let's wait and see what's going to happen," Bondi told Fox News Digital’s Danielle Wallace. "But I just sent sanctuary city letters to 32 mayors around the country and multiple governors saying, ‘you better be abiding by our federal policies and with our federal law enforcement, because if you aren't, we're going to come after you.’ And they have, I think, a week to respond to me, so let's see who responds and how they respond."
