Trump’s Justice Department to end ‘catch and release’ immigration policy

In what Attorney General Jeff Sessions is heralding “a new era,” the Justice Department is prioritizing criminal prosecution of illegal immigrants and smugglers to support the Trump’ administration’s immigration enforcement plan — directing prosecutors to bring felony charges against those caught in the U.S. after a prior deportation.

The new enforcement priorities will end the “catch and release practices” of the Obama administration and expand the department’s role in the Trump administration’s plan to crack down on illegal immigration, Mr. Sessions said Tuesday during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.

The guidance issued by Mr. Sessions orders federal prosecutors to prioritize criminal charges against illegal immigrants with a history of prior removals or other criminal convictions as well as charges against those who aid in the

Yes, yes yes! Just the talk of this caused a friend’s small company to give notice to their dozen or so mexicans they had a month to provide documentation.

They got fired a few weeks ago.

By now, Sessions should have arrested the mayors of San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and California's Governor, Jerry Brown.

They should be charged with obstruction of justice and dereliction of duty.

Trump needs to light a fire under Sessions' ass and make this happen. Then the rest of the country will be obligated to enforce the Rule of Law.

Excellent!

A real Supreme Court Justice, a real immigration policy (so far), and no threat of gun grabbing.

When do they stop giving out work permits to illegal aliens under the illegal DACA program?

President Trump pledged to end Obama’s illegal DACA program and yet it is still operating as if it were law and not something dreamed up by Obama. It has no basis in law and is illegal even if being run by President Trump.
Over 11,000 new illegal aliens have been given work permits since he took office and almost 50,000 renewals have been processed.
It is fast becoming President Trump’s illegal DACA program.

They arrested one yesterday in my town here in NJ; he had stabbed his baby-mama to death in front of their three children. They were from Peru; no mention of marriage, but the news admitted at least he was here illegally (I don’t know about her, or whether or not the three children were anchor babies).

Growing up, we NEVER had murders here. Now we’ve had a few; the last one I recall before this recent was involved a gang-related killing of a high school student a couple of years ago- she wasn’t involved with gangs, but a relative was. As the Bronze Horde invades my town, they bring their “Apocalypto” ways with them...

Trump was right; we’re importing murderers and rapists.

Arrest and deport all illegal aliens. And if a felony charge is available, use it. Zero tolerance.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, and the sooner the better. Round ‘em up and get ‘em out of here, every stinking one of ‘em. Prison or immediate deportation, and no other alternative.

We would save an enormous amount of money by giving them 5K for each man, woman, and child to say adios.

I have a better idea. Just give them a fast escort to the border and a swift kick in the ass on the way out of here.

But but we have Freepers claiming President Trump will be left of Jimmy Carter before he is done. Surely this pro-America, populist policy didn’t come from President Trump cuz’ Jared & Ivanka are still advising him. /s

Congrats to President Trump & AG Sessions for implementing a much needed policy. Not tired of winning at all!

“It is fast becoming President Trump’s illegal DACA program.”

Only in the minds of folks who continue to push “divide & conquer” narratives.

So you are happy that illegal aliens are continuing to be given work permits?
You want them to be given permission to stay?

“So you are happy that illegal aliens are continuing to be given work permits?”

Nope. But I’m certain President Trump will deal with the issue appropriately in due time. Getting Gorsuch on the USSC is a biggie because it essentially defangs the 9th Circuit who I believe would block any attempt by President Trump to do away with DACA.

“You want them to be given permission to stay?”

Nope. I want the program ended asap. That said, I am not going to murder the good happening under Trumps administration over the perfect.

That is a fact denied only by anti-American news media, Democrats, Jihadists, and other fellow travelers. No sane person would disagree with the President about this.

I think it would be better to stop all their illegal employment and pay them to leave.

This won't be tied up in court for years?

My plan is suggested to avoid tying up the courts for decades. If we pay them some money to leave, they will be encouraged to leave without going through the court system. We pay for all those attorney billing hours. It actually saves money and gives some humanitarian relief. The one time payment is better than them costing us money year after year.

People who live nowhere near them might believe it (since news is filtered); many still think illegals are all coming to work, while in my area many are just coming for indoor plumbing and free sh!t.
