Sessions promises crackdown on 'dangerous' rise in crime
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/28/17 | Kelly Cohen

...Sessions promised to crack down against the crime rise, noting that under his leadership "agents and prosecutors will prioritize cases against the most violent offenders, and remove them from our streets so they can no longer do us harm."

Sessions also announced the formation of a Justice Department task force that will include the heads of the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Marshals Service. The task force, Sessions said, will look at gaps in current laws and make sure agencies are "collecting good crime data."

First step would be elimination of a major crime group...the ATF. Involved in smuggling tobacco, gun running, shakedowns, etc.

Just had a crazy idea. Ever see Escape from New York?

Erect a fifty-foot tall containment walk around Chicago. Make it the one maximum security prison for the entire country. Once they go in, they don't come out.

Waiting until illegal aliens commit a serious crime before they are removed is a bad policy.

Yeah, jerks who repeat this silly mantra never bother to consider the majority of law abiding persons trapped behind your wall.

He needs to get to work on nepotism, misfeasance and malfeasance in local big-city police departments.

The out-of-control homicide rates in Chicago are a result of completely demoralized front-line patrol officers.

agreed the ATF needs dramatic reform

also end the (failed) drug war. Stop the drug war and the cartels go bankrupt
