What happened
Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump at a cabinet meeting that the courts were ruling he has the authority to determine how the country’s money is spent, according to the White House upload of the exchange. Bondi cited a Department of Education funding matter and the end of DEI requirements affecting every agency, a National Labor Relations Board win, and an Office of Personnel Management matter involving 16,000 workers, as she described the litigation record.
Bondi said the President’s directive to her was to keep America safe, and that on the criminal side the administration was winning on the Alien Enemies Act. She described the gangs as enemies of the country — terrorists and organized crime, spread throughout the country — and said gang members were going back where they came from or to an El Salvador prison at the President’s directive. She said that in South Florida the previous day, 11 defendants had been charged over half a billion dollars of pure cocaine coming into the country.
Bondi also said the department was prosecuting people who go after Tesla to the fullest extent of the law at the President’s directive, with four arrests made, no negotiations, and those arrested looking at 20 years in prison, and she predicted another large arrest at a Tesla dealership within 24 hours.
Why it matters
The cabinet exchange is Bondi’s compact report of the Justice Department’s early-term posture — immigration-gang removals under the Alien Enemies Act, a major cocaine case and maximum-penalty Tesla vandalism prosecutions — framed as direct execution of the President’s directive, as she stated it.
