SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new limits on the ability of immigration judges to terminate deportation cases on Wednesday, the latest in a series of decisions to facilitate the removal of immigrants in the country illegally
Unlike the federal judiciary system, U.S. immigration courts fall under the Department of Justice and the attorney general can rewrite opinions issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Sessions, a Republican former U.S. senator appointed by President Donald Trump, has been unusually active in this practice compared to his predecessors.

No one denies that sessions is doing things on immigration,
People are inflamed he is doing nothing on all the other obama clinton deep state scandals.
If the Deep State coup against Trump succeeds this will all be undone in about ten minutes.
Therefore my negative opinions on Sessions stand.
Customs and Border Protection show the flow of unaccompanied minors crossing the border continues unabated along with other immigrants claiming asylum. There is no impeding at the moment.
Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day, but that does not mean its not broken. Sessions has been the worse Republican AG in history.
I don’t doubt that Elf Session is madly at work. Many people here were hoping that he could walk and chew gum at the same time.
Oh really? Worse than the AGs under the Bushes, who did virtually nothing about illegal immigration?
Just like under Obama, none of these decisions are laws so they can easily be undone by the next Administration.
Since they state that he's useless and that he's doing nothing, they either deny that he's doing anything about immigration, or, more likely, they don't care about immigration as an issue.
“do nothing sleepy Sessions” and similar nonsense. “
Sessions is enabling a cover up of the FBI spying on a Presidential candidate and Elect and attempt to sabotage the POTUS who made him AG. Cover for him if you want but IMHO it’s one of the worst betrayals of my lifetime.
Let me guess - you’re one of those people who want to replace Sessions with Giuliani, right? Never mind that Giuliani is probably as much of a liberal as anyone can be and still claim to be a Republican. In fact, anywhere except NYC or perhaps coastal California, Giuliani would have had to run as a Democrat to get elected.
As I recall, Sessions is more solid than Trump on immigration. When the mass media started shrieking about how terrible it is to “separate families at the border,” Sessions defended doing so, and rightly so. When you’re detained or incarcerated for any other violation of the law, you don’t get to take your hijos (nor your tia or abuela) to jail with you. In contrast, Trump caved to the media and public pressure and put an end to the policy.
Sessions strikes again
Wrong-o, bucko.
We also care about federal corruption and the lack of prosecution of it literally at the same time as we care about immigration.
Perhaps Sessions is not entirely ineffective, but it appears that his mind—perhaps his intellect—is incapable of comprehending the magnitude of corruption in the federal government or its significance.
It is also said by the same letter that Sessions is working behind the scenes with U.S. Attorney Huber on all of the swamp issues, and that Trump's tweets of "I don't have an Attorney General" is a smokescreen to get Democrats to support Sessions.
Then there are those who think things like:
I hope the former is true, but fear the latter is true.
If the anti-Sessions people care so much about immigration, why do I keep reading posts saying that Trump should replace Sessions with someone like Giuliani or Christie, both of whom are pro-amnesty (not to mention anti-Second Amendment in Giuliani's case)?
“I don’t have an Attorney General. It’s very sad,” Trump told Hill.TV in an extensive and free-wheeling interview Tuesday from the Oval Office.
The president has long excoriated Sessions for his March2017 decision to recuse himself from the Russia collusion investigation. But on Tuesday he suggested he is frustrated by Sessions' performance on far more than that.
“I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this,” he said.
Good. There are few higher priorities than getting illegals out of our country. If something is wrong with the deportation paperwork, restart the process and deport them. If they are European, law-abiding, productive professionals, or whatever ‘positive’ someone is okay with, that makes no difference. They are breaking the law. The rule of law requires deporting them. If they leave on their own, they can apply from their home countries for legal entry, but if we deport them they should never be allowed to return. Deport them all. No exceptions.
Exactly! It's all no better than the proverbial rearranging of the deckchairs on the Titanic, if Session's recusal nonsense allows the Deep-State and the Left to sink or cripple Trump.
