Fox News released an exclusive report Wednesday morning with a list of directives which Attorney General Pam Bondi intends to issue on DAY ONE.
Bondi was confirmed for U.S. Attorney General by the Senate Tuesday evening, and was sworn into office Wednesday morning. She is wasting no time getting to work.
One of the directives on Bondi’s list is to yank all federal funding from sanctuary cities.
Below are excerpts from Fox News: Attorney General Pam Bondi will issue several major directives on her first day leading the Justice Department, including orders to combat the weaponization of the legal system; make prosecutors seek the death penalty when appropriate; and work with the Department of Homeland Security to “completely eliminate” cartels and transnational criminal organizations, Fox News Digital has learned.
Bondi issued a directive regarding “zealous advocacy.” Bondi said DOJ attorneys’ responsibilities include “aggressively enforcing criminal laws passed by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.”
“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” the memo states.
Bondi is set to establish the “Weaponization Working Group,” which will review the activities of all law enforcement agencies over the past four years to identify instances of “politicized justice.”
The cases the group will be reviewing first are those who brought prosecutions against President Trump, including: former Special Counsel Jack Smith; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Fox News continued: The working group will also review any potential prosecutorial abuse regarding Jan. 6, 2021; the FBI’s targeting of Catholic Americans; the Justice Department’s targeting of parents at school board meetings; and abuses of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or FACE, Act.
More steps Bondi will be taking include:
- End the moratorium on federal executions, and order prosecutors to seek the death penalty when appropriate.
- Ordering DOJ to work with DHS to “completely eliminate” the threats of cartels and transnational criminal organizations.
- Directed the DOJ to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities.
- Directed the DOJ to identify and evaluate all funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide support to illegal aliens.
- Directing litigating components of the DOJ to investigate instances of jurisdictions that are impeding law enforcement, and directing they be prosecuted, when necessary.
- Bondi will create a new Joint Task Force focused on holding Hamas accountable for its crimes against Jews during its terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
- Directing the DOJ to confirm the termination of all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs at the department by March 15.
- Demanding the removal of all references to DEI in training programs
- Will work with the Department of Education to ensure that educational institutions receiving federal grants are adhering to “fair admission practices.”

Bondi was sworn into office in the Oval Office Wednesday morning by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
President Trump spoke ahead of the swearing-in, then Bondi spoke afterwards. She vowed to fight crime throughout the country and make America safe again.

President Trump wrote in a Truth Social post: “Congratulations to our wonderful and very talented United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who gets sworn in today amid tremendous support, and the respect of ALL! I know Pam well, it was an honor to appoint her, and my prediction is that she will go down as one of the best and most consequential Attorney Generals in the history of our Country. Congratulations Pam, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
