Jeff Sessions

Jeff Sessions recently told the White House that if the President fired Rod Rosenstein, Sessions might have to leave as well.

You need to get between me and the president. You cannot leave me alone with the president.

We have altered our COPS grants to encourage the use of COPS grant money for school resource officers.

I want them to be excited about the day ahead, not fearful for their safety.

So there is no perfect solution, but that is the best answer I think I can give you.

Of course, fundamentally, the Department of Justice and our DEA, and FBI, and ATF investigators and marshal officers, they do focus on where the problem is biggest and where the gangs are the business.

I just know and I think when I said the BOP has the same staff today as in 2009...

I don't see any need for people to be concerned about it. Frankly, I think it is a perfectly normal thing to ask.

We need to be tough. He said that several times in New Hampshire.

Revolving doors are not acceptable. I am hearing too much of that where people are being released too quickly.

We have an opportunity to really make a breakthrough, in my opinion, in focusing on that opportunity.

We know that a large amount of drugs is leaving from Colombia and south of Colombia and it is brought by boat.

We are trying to do that based on facts, not politics, but where the crisis is greatest.

We are having tremendous success forming task forces around the country to focus on these gangs, on drug distribution networks.

They are the most violent gang in America, I think by far, and it is incompatible with peace and safety and justice.

And then we are going to focus heavily on fentanyl, because it is such a killer, it is a killer.

We are going to tighten up dramatically the amount of prescription opioids out there that often create the addiction.

This is dangerous business. You get addicted, it grabs you with a power that so many people are never able to break free, their lives are lost.

I know--look, let's be frank, what they would like is a statement that they have been provided safety, a safe harbor, I don't believe I can give that.

The program should help make the system work better.

Don't come illegally; apply lawfully to enter America and wait your time. That is what America is all about.

We are determined to make a difference. We believe that we have the capacity under existing law to do better than we are doing.

The goal of it would be to help our local grant recipients create task forces and partnerships to be more effective in their neighborhood.

We would like to think maybe we wouldn't have to do that, but we do.

You can make your city safer.
