With the ascension of former Sen. Jeff Sessions to attorney general and several of his former staff installed at the White House and federal agencies, immigration policy experts are sensing a sea change in Washington.

Advocates and policy staff of both parties half-jokingly refer to the "Sessions cabal" that has now found power in President Donald Trump's Washington -- a group that for years has found itself outside the mainstream on immigration policy in Washington and faced ire from their Republican and Democratic colleagues for what one sparring partner called "strident" positions.

"What you're talking about is a cabal of staffers, none of whom are elected, who have absolute power," the advocate said anonymously in order to speak freely. "It's profoundly concerning because these are a bunch of people who clearly couldn't have cared less about bipartisan consensus, and they have what I consider an extreme ideological view and have now been empowered to enact that view."

It will be interesting to see who in DC scurries off to non-extradition countries.

I see this as a description of the Holder/Lynch justice department.

This is a description of the obama regime right?

Yes. And, who will retire very soon, with thin records left behind? Who will suffer 'accidents' while out at night? Who will move their big $$$ accounts overseas? How many will go dead silent, or just disappear? How many Soros-related groups will quickly disappear from sight?

Liberals like totalitarian dictatorships as long as they are liberal totalitarian dictatorships.

Appointed officials doing exactly what a democratically elected President tells them to do is the end of civilization when the President is not a liberal.

Rofl. When Holder and Lynch held extreme, out of the mainstream ideology, it was just ducky. When they broke the law, it was just fine.

Sessions appoints sane people and the sky is falling. Priceless.

Outside the mainstream in Washington.

But not outside the mainstream of the USA.

AG Sessions needs to open a criminal investigation of the Demonicrat Party as a domestic terrorist group advocating sedition, insurrection, and treason.
