Attorney General Sessions Just Made a Massive Change to Immigration Policy and the Usual Suspects Are Going Bonkers

FILE – In this April 25, 2018, file photo, Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Trump administration said in a court filing late Thursday that it will no longer defend key parts of the Affordable Care Act, including the requirement that people have health insurance and provisions that guarantee access to health insurance regardless of any medical conditions. Sessions said in a letter to Congress on June 7, that President Donald Trump, who campaigned on repealing the law and nearly did so his first year in office, approved the legal strategy.

Earlier in the year, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he was taking personal control of the immigration court system. Immigration judges and the entire appeals system is an Article 2 function. That means the cases are tried and adjudicated within the executive branch. The Attorney General has the statutory authority to make the final decision on any and all immigration cases but, in the past, has always delegated that authority. One of the immediate interests expressed by Sessions was in the asylum process and the ability of persons to use domestic violence as a reason to gain political asylum in the United States. In question was this decision:

With a stroke of a pen, the Board of Immigration Appeals established a whole new class of eligibility for political asylum. A right that had belonged to a persecuted class had been deftly given to anyone who could make a colorable claim of domestic violence at home.

It was speculated that Sessions taking on this case would result in its reversal.

A little earlier today, Sessions was speaking to a group of immigration judges at the Executive Office for Immigration Review Legal Training Program. This is part of what he had to say:

Now Sessions has officially forbidden the use of domestic violence as a means of obtaining asylum.

This is, in my view, a very good and very overdue thing. Asylum was created to provide safe harbor for persons fleeing genocide or ethnic cleansing. It was not created to accommodate people because of a break down of law and order, because of gang violence, or because of unprovable allegations of domestic abuse. If Congress wants to amend the law, it is certainly able to do so. What can’t be allowed is for the law to be stretched beyond recognition by administrative fiat. Every time that happens, nothing good comes from it and it causes more problems.
