ATTORNEY GENERAL INJUNCTIVE AUTHORITY FOR ILLEGAL-DIRECTIVE ENFORCEMENT
Whenever the Attorney General [or a district attorney] has cause to believe that any federal officer, employee, or agent is engaged in actions carried out under or in furtherance of an illegal directive of the federal executive, and that such actions are thereby causing harm to the people of [state/locality], the Attorney General [or district attorney] may apply for and obtain, in an action in the appropriate court of this State, a temporary restraining order or injunction, or both, prohibiting the federal officer, employee, or agent from continuing such actions or doing any act in furtherance thereof. The court may make such orders or judgments as may be necessary to prevent the continuation or recurrence of the illegal conduct and to protect the people of this State from harm caused thereby, including orders necessary to restore any person, to the extent feasible, to the position they occupied prior to such conduct.
