Rtxt

On Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to uphold the nation’s immigration laws, saying that the Department of Justice will “enforce the laws of the United States of America.”

Sessions made the remarks during a speech at the National Sheriff’s Association winter conference in Washington, D.C. He said that the Department of Justice will “enforce the laws of the United States of America,” and that the department will “not look the other way” when it comes to immigration violations.

The attorney general also said that the Department of Justice will “vigorously” prosecute those who violate immigration laws, and that the department will “not hesitate to bring criminal charges” against those who do so.

Sessions’ remarks come as the Trump administration has taken a hard line on immigration, with the president signing an executive order in January that temporarily banned citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. The order was later blocked by a federal court.

The attorney general’s comments also come as the Trump administration has sought to crack down on so-called “sanctuary cities,” which have policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The Department of Justice has threatened to withhold federal funding from cities that do not comply with federal immigration laws.
