PROSECUTE ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DOJ WILL FIRE YOU!


DOJ CUTS, REASSIGNS 81 IMMIGRATION PROSECUTORS

With the end of the federal fiscal year last Friday, the temporary funding for 81 immigration-dedicated federal prosecutors has ended. Of those, thirteen have lost their jobs while 68 others are being reassigned within the Justice Department. One lawyer affected by the shake-up says that the loss of immigration prosecutors will only make the job that much harder as fewer people try to bear the overwhelming burden. David Bunham, co-director of the Transactional Records Clearinghouse – the same organization that found that illegal immigrant criminal cases filed in June accounted for 52 percent of new prosecutions in the nation’s federal courts – called the move by the Obama administration “curious.”
