Attorney General Sessions seeks to Expand Power on Immigration Cases

by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is proposing to change the circumstances which allow Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step-in to a judicial immigration case. Stepping In to an Immigration case means taking charge of case and ruling on it. Past practice has generally had the attorney generals only step-in to affirm or overturn cases the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) has already ruled on. These proposed changes could reshape federal immigration policy.
