Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed a federal crackdown Saturday, saying that America has entered a “new era of political violence.” Her stern warning against extremist groups targeting federal officers comes a day after she announced Department of Justice (DOJ) agents will be deployed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities nationwide.
