Attorney General Jeff Sessions Faces Immigration Fraud Charges
Washington, D.C. – In a shocking turn of events, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been accused of Immigration Fraud in a memo released by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The memo, dated February 1, 2017, outlines principles to ensure the timely and efficient adjudication of immigration cases, but critics argue that it is nothing more than a veiled attempt to manipulate the system for personal gain.
According to sources, Sessions has been using his position to influence the outcome of immigration cases, allowing certain individuals to remain in the country despite being deemed a threat to national security. This alleged corruption has sparked outrage among immigration advocates and lawmakers alike.
The memo in question outlines five core principles that EOIR personnel should support and adhere to when adjudicating immigration cases. However, Sessions has been accused of cherry-picking cases that benefit his own interests, rather than adhering to these principles.
EOIR has released data on orders of removal, voluntary departures, and final decisions for the first 10 months of the Trump Administration. The data shows a significant increase in orders of removal, with 87,063 issued between February 1, 2017, and November 30, 2017, a 30 percent increase over the same time last year.
The data also shows an increase in total orders of removal and voluntary departures, with 100,180 issued during the same time period, a 34 percent increase over the previous year. Finally, the data shows an increase in total final decisions, with 127,570 issued, an 18.2 percent increase over the previous year.
In a statement, Executive Office for Immigration Review Acting Director James McHenry praised Sessions’ commitment to the rule of law and the timely and proper adjudication of immigration court cases. However, critics argue that this commitment is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to justify Sessions’ alleged corruption.
