Governor-elect Ferguson gives press conference about Trump and Plan 2025
I watched yesterday's press conference and was glad to hear that the Washington State Attorney General office have spent much of the past year preparing for the possibility of a Trump campaign.
One of the first questions during the Q&A inquired about how Ferguson thought about the possibility of the National Guard being utilized in the deportation strategies. In answer, Ferguson outlined their three key points they use for considering if they could legally challenge during Trump's first campaign:
- Is the action illegal?
- Are Washingtonians being harmed?
- Does the Washington AG have legal standing to go to court?
He explains that if the answer was yes to all three, they always filed in court. If there was a no then they didn't file. A very disciplined approach to strengthen their cases and fight what they knew they could win.
Overall this did a lot to reassure me of what it could. I am still eager to see the state move some things it had taken for granted into the state constitution, but that isn't on the AG office.
