Sessions Comments on Secretary Johnson Meeting with Amnesty Groups but not ICE Officers

Statement

Date: March 25, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Immigration

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement after Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson met today with various pro-amnesty groups to discuss the Department's planned review identifying ways to further reduce enforcement:

"It is shocking that the Department of Homeland Security, charged with enforcing our laws, would meet with amnesty groups to discuss ways to further defy and dismantle federal immigration law. Yet, Secretary Johnson has not met with his own ICE officers' union and its courageous members who have spoken out to document the unlawful directives they are forced to follow. Mr. Johnson would do well to remember the oath he took to uphold the law."
