We've already begun to step up our efforts and whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put some people in jail.

I continue to urge all jurisdictions under review to reconsider policies that place the safety of their communities and their residents at risk, protecting criminal aliens from federal immigration authorities defies common sense and undermines the rule of law.

We have seen too many examples of the threat to public safety represented by jurisdictions that actively thwart the federal government’s immigration enforcement—enough is enough.

We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source, if we are successful, we will update the congressional committees immediately.

The IRS’s use of these criteria as a basis for heightened scrutiny was wrong and should have never occurred, it is improper for the IRS to single out groups for different treatment based on their names or ideological positions.

I reject the idea that America will be a better place if marijuana is sold in every corner store. And I am astonished to hear people suggest that we can solve our heroin crisis by legalizing marijuana – so people can trade one life-wrecking dependency for another that’s only slightly less awful, our nation needs to say clearly once again that using drugs will destroy your life.

The discovery order in the DACA cases was dramatically intrusive and premature, and I am pleased with tonight’s decision that the district court’s order was ‘overly broad,’.

Violent crime has been increasing here in America and in Charlotte—and that is deeply troubling, in Pittsburgh, it’s even higher.

This operation—with more than 600 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers involved—serves as a wonderful example of what we can achieve we work together.

I have directed that all 94 US Attorneys’ Offices make the prosecution of assault on federal law enforcement officers—that’s all of you—a top priority. If someone dares assault one of our folks in the line of duty, they will do federal time for it.

When jurisdictions choose to return criminal aliens to the streets rather than turning them over to federal immigration authorities, they put the public’s safety at risk. San Francisco’s decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventable and heartbreaking death of Kate Steinle, while the State of California sought a murder charge for the man who caused Ms. Steinle’s death—a man who would not have been on the streets of San Francisco if the city simply honored an ICE detainer—the people ultimately convicted him of felon in possession of a firearm.

President Trump promised voters he would return this country to a lawful system of immigration, and this Justice Department is committed to fulfilling that promise by rooting out fraud and abuse, we will not tolerate fraud at any level, and will bring those who engage in fraud to justice.

Committing fraud in any immigration matter undermines the integrity of our immigration system, and is a betrayal of the American people’s generosity, it is especially appalling when it also involves the sexual abuse of children.

The Department of Justice has a duty to prosecute these crimes vigorously, particularly so for individuals who commit fraud in the naturalization process.

I certainly didn’t mean I had never met a Russian in the history of my life, my response was according to the way I heard the question.

I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn’t have – did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.

Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after Election Day?
