OPINION:
I read with great alarm “90 U.S. prosecutors vow to ignore abortion laws” (Page 1, July 5). Sanctioned resistance to the rule of law by officials whose duty it is to uphold that law began when local law enforcement refused to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, resulting in sanctuary cities. This scofflaw behavior led to lawlessness on our southern border and eventually to refusals to prosecute many general crimes across the country, notably in large cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.
If this blatant, irresponsible attack on our system of government by elected officials isn’t confronted immediately, the rule of law is finished, and so, too, will be our country.
