Sessions Enhances Criminal Penalties for Immigration Violations: 'This Is the Trump Era'
Declaring the start of the "Trump era," Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday that migrants deported from the U.S. who illegally re-enter the country will face felony charges and a stepped-up enforcement program.
"For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned: This is a new era. This is the Trump era. The lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our immigration laws, and the catch-and-release practices of old are over," Sessions said in his prepared remarks, addressing Customs and Border Protection personnel in Nogales, Arizona.
