U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli Is Reminding Californians They’re Not Exempt from Federal Law

Bill Essayli, the new U.S. attorney for California’s central district, needs residents of the Golden State to understand that California is not exempt from complying with federal law.

Democratic politicians have convinced Californians that the state is a “real sanctuary” from federal policies they dislike. That misguided attitude, Essayli told National Review in a recent interview, explains the chaos that has broken out in his first two months on the job.
