澳彩开奖 statement on Sessions' decision to curtail 'administrative closings' of immigration court cases
Attorney General Jeff Sessions' ideologically driven decision today to bypass the immigration courts and decide himself to remove another avenue of relief for immigrants undermines due process and the rule of law.
It will add thousands more cases back into the huge backlog of the immigration courts, and will result in the imprisonment and deportation of immigrants who now have a clear path toward聽legal immigration status.聽
This decision is just further evidence of Sessions鈥� anti-immigrant agenda, which separates families, creates fear in communities, and punishes vulnerable people who may be fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries.聽Though President Trump may call them 鈥渁苍颈尘补濒蝉鈥�聽to justify his administration's inhumane policies, these immigrants are friends, neighbors, and members of our families and communities.聽
With every new hate-driven policy emerging from聽this administration, we must rededicate ourselves to speaking out and taking聽action to preserve our nation鈥檚 fundamental values.
