AG Jeff Sessions Could Prosecute Sanctuary Cities and Officials

sessions

As Attorney General, Jeff Sessions can can money to sanctuary cities on Day 1.  But as AG, he can also bring charges against sanctuary cities and even officials of that city that order police to disobey federal law.  Several cities have proclaimed that they will resist obeying the law.  (After all, they are democrats.  Breaking the law is in their DNA) Pro illegal lobbyists and pro illegal immigration groups are pressuring cities, states and even Obama to grant illegals special status.  Many of these groups are calling Sessions a member of the KKK.  That’s because there is a lot of money in helping criminals achieve legal status.

Charles Chamberlain, head of Democracy for America, a liberal pressure group said:

“The handful of people who might be even less equipped than Jeff Sessions to dispense justice on behalf of the American people typically spend their weekends wearing pointy hats and burning crosses.”

Democracy for America was founded by Howard Dean.

From The Washington Times:

The next attorney general would also control the burgeoning field of immigration law, which has been greatly tested under President Obama.

Over the last eight years, federal judges have ruled that illegal immigrant children need to be quickly set free and have ruled localities don’t need to hold illegal immigrants even when federal agents ask them to.

Meanwhile, immigration judges — those who hear immigration and asylum cases — have expanded the universe of people who are being granted status in the U.S.

Ms. Jenks said Mr. Sessions as attorney general couldn’t tell immigration judges how to rule, but he could influence how the department views cases in the broader sense. And he can choose to fight the federal judges who keep expanding the rights of illegal immigrants by appealing those cases in instances where the Obama administration didn’t.

“He will have influence over the kind of culture throughout the department,” Ms. Jenks said. “I think he knows where the bodies are buried at the Justice Department. I think he will have the right advisers so he can really clean house.”
