The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just told U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to "stand down." 

This, according to the Daily Caller, comes after Pelosi called for the arrest of federal law enforcement agents.

As we will see, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has also weighed in on the matter.

Background

In case you missed it, it was last week that Pelosi publicly suggested that local law enforcement could actually arrest federal law enforcement agents.

Breitbart News reports Pelosi as saying:

While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not. Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.

This, clearly, is another way that the Democrats are trying to obstruct President Donald Trump's attempt to clean up illegal immigration and other criminal activity.

Trump recently was even planning on sending federal troops into San Francsico, but, for the time being, he has chosen not to.

The president explained:

The Federal Government was preparing to “surge” San Francisco, California, on Saturday, but friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge in that the Mayor, Daniel Lurie, was making substantial progress. I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around. I told him I think he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the Law does not permit him to remove. I told him, “It’s an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let’s see how you do?” The people of San Francisco have come together on fighting Crime, especially since we began to take charge of that very nasty subject. Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a “shot.” Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!

DOJ, Bondi respond to Pelosi

Now, the DOJ and Bondi have responded to Pelosi's call for the arrest of federal agents.

Department of Justice (DOJ) Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote:

California politicians want to arrest federal agents for enforcing federal law. We just sent them a letter: Stand down or face prosecution. No one threatens our agents. No one will stop us from Making America Safe Again.

You can read the entire letter here.

Bondi has also released a statement on the matter. She said:

You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent, where they live [or of] anything that can harm them. Pelosi got a letter today from Deputy Attorney General Toddd Blanche. So did Brooke Jenkins, that DA [District Attorney] in San Francisco.

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli warned that any attempt to carry out Pelosi's plan will result in an arrest.
