The Trump administration isn't slowing down with slapping back liberal machinations across the nation in sanctuary cities and states, whose lawmakers are attempting to stop or slow down the enforcement of President Trump's border and immigration enforcement policies. The latest move happened Friday with a legal action filed in the Land of Lincoln by Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department.

 It follows Thursday's release of police body cam video showing illegal alien Kilmar Abrego-Garcia getting pulled over by Tennessee Highway Patrol while driving a convicted human smuggler's vehicle.

As you have probably seen, the administration has been clear as a mill pond with anyone who isn't in the U.S. illegally, even recently releasing a fun and informative music video to help them out. Get the heck out!

Now, the DOJ is forging head-on against sanctuary states for trying to harbor illegals by making it more onerous for employers in their states to use the E-Verify system when checking out potential employees, and filing suit (United States v. State of Illinois et al., No. 1:25-cv-04811 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois) against Illinois on Friday, according to a statement from the department.

It read, in part: 

The United States has filed a complaint against the state of Illinois, the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL), Jane Flanagan, Director of IDOL, and Kwame Raoul, the Attorney General for the state of Illinois, alleging that the implementation of SB0508, which amended Illinois’s “Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act,” infringes on federal immigration authority. By imposing confusing rules during the employment verification process and threatening employers with penalties if they do not comply, SB0508 discourages and complicates the use of E-Verify and Form I-9 inspection requirements. E-Verify allows any U.S. employer to electronically confirm the employment eligibility of newly hired employees and Form I-9 is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals.

AG Bondi said that it's paramount that her department "[protect] American workers, employers, and enforcing federal immigration law,” adding that, “Any state that incentivizes illegal immigration and makes it harder for federal authorities to do their job will face legal consequences from this Administration.”

Illinois is going against the Constitution, according to the filing of the DOJ, by "violat[ing] the Supremacy Clause...along with laws enacted by Congress to combat the employment of illegal aliens, including the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which prohibits employers from knowingly hiring, recruiting, referring, or employing aliens without appropriate work authorization."

In addition, the state amendment forces employers to jump through notification hoops--then "impos[ing]  sanctions on employers for failure to adhere to those requirements with civil fines as high as $10,000."

SB0508, Team Trump stated, could also be breaking federal statutes relating to the government doing its job of keeping the country and its sovereignty intact, writing that "such advance notice requirements could prompt an alien employee to not show up to work on the day of inspection or avoid detection by immigration authorities."

Justice Department chief of staff, Chad Mizelle shared on his X account that the "DOJ [is] going after Illinois for restricting E-Verify," adding that "there's [sic] consequences for any state that incentivizes illegal immigration"--as states like Illinois are doing--allowing "unlawful job access" to illegals.

"To eliminate illegal immigration, encourage self-deportations, and protect U.S. workers, we MUST shut off unlawful job access. There will be 

The signs are that Trump and company will keep on with the winning like this. You may have relished as I did the Sunshine state's working with federal ICE officials to round up hundreds of illegal aliens recently, as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons promised Fox News' Bill Melugin in a Friday interview that the massive crackdown, like last week's Florida operations, is on its way--maybe even more so--in sanctuary cities/blue states far and wide:
