South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson sent a letter to the state’s sheriffs encouraging them to work with federal agents performing immigration enforcement actions.
In a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the attorneys general commend “ongoing congressional efforts to uncover misconduct” and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws. Wilson said in a news release.
“President Biden’s blanket pardon of Dr. Fauci is a shameful attempt to prevent ability,” Wilson said. “If any of these findings indicate violations of state laws, we are fully prepared to take appropriate action to ensure justice is served.”
The letter follows the release of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s final report, which alleges failures and potential misconduct by high-ranking government officials, including Fauci.
