Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday blasted a federal judge’s decision to fully restart the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by Aug. 23.
Sessions said in a statement that the Justice Department will “take every lawful measure” to defend the decision to terminate the Obama-era program, which offers deportation relief to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
“The last administration violated its duty to enforce our immigration laws by directing and implementing a categorical, multipronged non-enforcement immigration policy for a massive group of illegal aliens,” Sessions said.
