Jeff Sessions Is Executing Trump’s Immigration Plans With a Quiet, Efficient Brutality
Mother Jones ^ | 7SEP18 | Sophie Murguia and Kanyakrit Vongkiatkajorn

Over the past few months, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has faced fierce criticism for his role in the Trump administration’s family separation policy. But while the White House continues to deal with the fallout from tearing kids away from their parents at the border, Sessions has been busy orchestrating another, much quieter attack on the country’s immigration system.

Tensions have been simmering for months between the attorney general and the hundreds of judges overseeing immigration courts, but they reached a new high in July. The flashpoint was the case of Reynaldo Castro-Tum, a Guatemalan man who was scheduled to appear in a Philadelphia immigration court but had repeatedly failed to turn up. The judge, Steven Morley, wanted to determine whether Castro-Tum had received adequate notice, and rescheduled a hearing for late July. But instead of waiting for that appointment, the Justice Department sent a new judge from Virginia to take over the case. Judge Deepali Nadkarni subsequently ordered Castro-Tum deported.

The move sparked immediate outcry: The National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), a union representing about 350 immigration judges, filed a formal grievance, and 15 retired immigration judges released a public statement condemning the action. “Such interference with judicial independence is unacceptable,” they wrote.

Trying to deport illegals is an “attack on the country’s immigration system”?

Hey, “Mother Jones”, how was the “quiet brutal efficiency “ of the Stalinist purges of the Soviet regime that you supported for decades?

Democrats in Congress have been repeatedly invited to work on immigration reform that would benefit immigrants, and Democrats have repeatedly refused to negotiate. That should be publicized now.

It’s Mother Jones...

Sessions is doing a great job other than his recusal and tone deafness towards the coup

That is a deal killer btw

I’ve been patient enough

No offense but you are desperately uninformed

Sessions is doing and has tried to do everything on our to do list on borders

The courts block him at every try and he appeals

Sessions is at fault on recusal and letting. Mueller run granted

But on immigration he’s done about all he can as AG

Here’s Vox on it hardly a right wing blog

I don’t like Sessions inaction on the coup.....it’s a major failure that’s hurting Trumps ability to govern and furthering the GOP inaction which hurts him too

Now it’s all about the midterms to see if Trump still has a mandate from voters so he can make his own moves to do what Sessions refuses to

Why hasn’t Sessions fired Ohr?

That’s my biggest question first.

Duh, this article makes a sloth to be like someone who can actually beat Usain Bolt at the 100 meters!

Sessions is like a combination of all 7 of the dwarves in the Snow White kids story, except we can leave out Happy!

Sessions isn't doing jack sh!t except torpedoing the Trump presidency. If he had any honor he'd OFF himself. The only people that think Mr. Magoo is doing a good job on immigration are the hysterical left, Ann Coulter, Queer anon and a handful of morons here

Most rational people knew exactly what he was up to when he first recused himself in the face of the 'russian collusion' hoax. It was no accident. His choice of Rod Rosenstein was no accident and the appointment of the mueller coup did not happen by chance either. Sessions is a backstabbing rat bastard mole.

...It’s too bad that he won’t go after the evil democrats...

Dunno...from two days ago.

Federal prosecutors have impaneled a grand jury to investigate former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe following the Department of Justice inspector general’s report alleging that McCabe approved a media disclosure to advance his personal interests.

Jeff Sessions, one of the worst Americans ever.

My guess is he is that he is a flat-out traitor. But if he isn’t he’s a ball less eunuch. Either way he’s scum.
