Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke from the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona on Tuesday, where he made it very clear that the Obama-era policies of “catch and release” were over.
Sessions indicated that major changes were coming to the Justice Department’s protocol in that they will be charging and prosecuting illegal aliens who re-enter the United States with a felony.
“When we talk about MS-13 and the cartels, what do we mean? We mean criminal organizations that turn cities and suburbs into war zones, that rape and kill innocent citizens, and who profit by smuggling poison and other human beings across our borders,” Sessions said.
“Depravity and violence are their calling cards, including brutal machete attacks and beheadings.”
“It is here, on this sliver of land, where we first take our stand against this filth. In this fight, I am here to tell you, the brave men and women of Customs and Border Protection: we hear you, and we have your back,” Sessions exclaimed with Customs and Border Protection officers surrounding him.
“Finally, and perhaps most importantly: I have directed that all 94 U.S. Attorneys Offices make the prosecution of assault on a federal law enforcement officer — that’s all of you — a top priority. If someone dares to assault one of our folks in the line of duty, they will do federal time for it,” Sessions added.
Sessions added that United States Attorney’s Offices have been ordered to designate a prosecutor as their Border Security Coordinator to make the process more fluid when these new immigration enforcement policies are implemented.
“For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned: This is a new era. This is the Trump era,” Sessions said. “In that vein, I am also pleased to announce a series of reforms regarding immigration judges to reduce the significant backlogs in our immigration courts.”
Ahead of the new policies and reforms, Sessions also added that they will need an additional 25 immigration judges at detention centers along the border as well as an additional 75 judges in 2018.
“This is the Trump era,” Sessions said just before making it abundantly clear that he plans to secure our borders.
It is the law now.
Give them 35,000 feet and a hankee. Jeff, is time to become series
One more time....
KA-Bam!
KA-Pow!
Take that, Reconquistadors!
WE WIN
Yes it is law now, but I think he upped the ante to felony.
It should be 1 year hard labor for the 1st re-entry and 5 years for each additional re-entry. Give the penalty real teeth or they’re wasting their time.
I bet he gives them double secret probation before anyone in the Justice department files any charges. He might even put a sternly written letter in their file.
Amen, and I’ll never call offsides on this call ...
Send a note to the colleges asking for a list of students lacking appropriate documentation.
As a follow-up, post the note on FakeBook and Twiddle.
Re-entry into the USA after deportation has always been a felony. It is the law, but it has been ignored until now.
About F in time....
The win of WIN.
It should be 1 year hard labor for the 1st re-entry and
5 years for each additional re-entry.

After Removal Is a Felony. ... The law accompanying § 1325 is 8 U.S.C. § 1326, which makes the offense of reentering, or attempting to reenter the United States after being removed or deported, a felony offense. You will likely be permanently barred from the United States if you illegally reenter after a prior removal.
Congress needs to pass Kate’s law.
