Jeff Sessions: “I believe Congress has a duty to defend its legitimate constitutional powers.”

It hasn't been good, and the American people don't like the idea that we're separating families. We never really intended to do that.

I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional power.

Do you believe that you would come under political pressure from leading Democrats on this committee who want you to arrest 500 more people?

Yes, hopefully people will get the message.
