  • February 23, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION the Honorable
    February 23, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Attorney General Sessions: In the midst of ongoing, fast-paced litigation challenging Executive Order 13769, titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” Acting Attorney General Sally Yates ordered the Department of Justice not to defend the Order. In a number of those cases, Justice Department attorneys had only a few days to draft briefs or prepare for hearings at the time of Ms. Yates’ order to stop working on them. Given the very short timeframe the Department attorneys had, Ms. Yates’ instruction to them not to defend the Executive Order meaningfully reduced their preparation time, even though she was fired late on the night of January 30. As a result, the Department attorneys were not as prepared to defend the Executive Order in court as they would have been without Ms. Yates’ interference. For example, just a few days later at the hearing on the state of Washington’s motion for a temporary restraining order, the Department attorneys did not have relevant factual information on hand to answer the judge’s question about the number of terrorism-related arrests of nationals from the countries at issue in the Executive Order. As a result, they were unable to enter facts into the record to dispute the judge’s false claim that there had been none. This likely affected his decision to grant the motion for a temporary restraining order. In the appeal on that issue, the importance of that omission became clear, and was part of the basis of the appeals court’s ruling against the President.

    January 2019 The Department of Injustice Under Jeff Sessions The Department of Injustice Under Jeff Sessions January 2019 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 VOTING RIGHTS 2 IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS 3 CRIMINAL JUSTICE 6 DISABILITIES 9 HEALTH CARE 10 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY 10 LGBT RIGHTS 10 CRIMINALIZATION OF POVERTY 11 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION 12 WORKERS' RIGHTS 12 FREE PRESS AND PROTEST RIGHTS 12 PRIVACY RIGHTS 13 SEPARATION OF POWERS 15 POLITICIZED ANALYSIS AND PERSONNEL 15 INTRODUCTION Jeff Sessions' tenure at the Department of Justice was a national disgrace. As attorney general, he was entrusted to enforce federal laws — including civil rights laws — and secure equal justice for all. Instead, Sessions systematically undermined our civil rights and liberties, dismantled legal protections for the vulnerable and persecuted, and politicized the Justice Department's powers in ways that threaten American democracy. When President Donald Trump and his political appointees elsewhere in his administration tried to do the same, often in violation of the Constitution, Sessions' Justice Department went into overdrive manufacturing legal and factual justifications on their behalf and defending the unjust actions in court. Sessions was aided by Trump-approved appointees who often overruled career attorneys and staffers committed to a high level of neutral professionalism. Under Sessions' political leadership, these Trump appointees have inflicted significant damage in the past two years. Together they have threatened the First Amendment rights of the press and protesters, targeted the communities Trump disfavors through discriminatory policies and tactics, attacked the ability of ordinary citizens to vote and change their elected government, vindictively retaliated against perceived political opponents, and thwarted congressional oversight of the Justice Department's activities.

  • Like It Or Not, Trump Has a Point: FISA Reform and the Appearance of Partisanship in Intelligence Investigations by Stewart Baker1
    Like It or Not, Trump Has a Point: FISA Reform and the Appearance of Partisanship in Intelligence Investigations by Stewart Baker1 To protect the country from existential threats, its intelligence capabilities need to be extraordinary -- and extraordinarily intrusive. The more intrusive they are, the greater the risk they will be abused. So, since the attacks of 9/11, debate over civil liberties has focused almost exclusively on the threat that intelligence abuses pose to the individuals and disfavored minorities. That made sense when our intelligence agencies were focused on terrorism carried out by small groups of individuals. But a look around the world shows that intelligence agencies can be abused in ways that are even more dangerous, not just to individuals but to democracy. Using security agencies to surveil and suppress political opponents is always a temptation for those in power. It is a temptation from which the United States has not escaped. The FBI’s director for life, J. Edgar Hoover, famously maintained his power by building files on numerous Washington politicians and putting his wiretapping and investigative capabilities at the service of Presidents pursuing political vendettas. That risk is making a comeback. The United States used the full force of its intelligence agencies to hold terrorism at bay for twenty years, but we paid too little attention to geopolitical adversaries who are now using chipping away at our strengths in ways we did not expect. As American intelligence reshapes itself to deal with new challenges from Russia and China, it is no longer hunting small groups of terrorists in distant deserts.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Phoebe Plagens Wednesday, February 8, 2017 212‐965‐2235/[email protected] Attorney General Sessions Must Adhere to Promises, Be Accountable to the People Statement of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund on the Confirmation of Jeff Sessions to be Attorney General of the United States Despite deep opposition from Americans from around the country and all walks of life, 52 senators voted to confirm Jeff Sessions to be the Attorney General of the United States. This vote comes in the wake of a breathtaking anti‐democratic maneuver by Majority Leader McConnell and his caucus to attempt to silence debate and continue a 30‐year effort to quash truth‐telling about Jeff Sessions’ history and record. But the history is clear. There can be no doubt Mr. Sessions has a long and troubling record of hostility to vital civil rights laws, laws protecting women, people with disabilities, members of minority groups, LGBTQ Americans, and more. Yet from before his nomination was even announced, Mr. Sessions and his allies attempted to rewrite his history and his record to portray him as a champion of civil rights. Mr. Sessions is well aware of the demands the people and the Constitution place upon him. During the confirmation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Sessions declared “This is the top law enforcement job in America, not a political position, and anyone who holds this position must have total fidelity to the laws and Constitution of the United States. They must be willing and able to tell the president no if he overreaches.

  • House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015
    House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015 The House passed its version of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (2016 NDAA), H.R. 1735, on May 15, 2015. After rejecting a floor amendment that would have eased Guantanamo detainee transfer restrictions after the Administration’s submission of a detailed plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, the House voted to clamp down on detainee transfers, prohibiting them altogether in certain circumstances. The bill would also beef up reporting requirements regarding detainee recidivism, and require receipt of a set of unredacted correspondence and documents related to the controversial transfer of five high-level Taliban detainees to Qatar in exchange for U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, a swap that was challenged as unlawful by its critics, and limit expenditures by the Office of the Secretary of Defense until their submission is accomplished. TheAdministration has objected to the Guantanamo provisions and threatened to recommend a presidential veto if Congress approves them. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States. The bill would continue the absolute bar on the transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States for any purpose, as well as the prohibition on building or modifying facilities in the United States to house such detainees. As amended on the floor, both prohibitions would apply to all federal government agencies and would extend for two years after the bill’s enactment. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees to foreign countries. The bill would repeal Section 1035 of the 2014 NDAA (described in a prior Legal Sidebar post and this CRS report) and revert to the previous set of restrictions on detainee transfers to foreign countries (as described in more detail in this CRS report).

  • Barr Will Not Be Independent of President Trump Or
    Attorney General Nominee William barr President Trump announced that he intends to nominate William Barr to be attorney general. Barr served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush from 1991-1993. Since then, he has been a telecommunications executive and board member, as well as in private legal practice. BARR WILL NOT BE INDEPENDENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP OR RESTRAIN Trump’s ATTACKS ON THE RULE OF LAW Threat TO THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION Barr authored a controversial memo attacking part of the Mueller investigation. In June 2018, Barr sent the Department of Justice a lengthy memo arguing that Mueller shouldn't be able to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice. The memo, which Barr reportedly shared with the White House as well, raises serious concerns that Barr thinks Trump should be above the law. Barr has already been asked to defend President Trump in the Mueller investigation. President Trump repeatedly criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions for failing to rein in Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and clearly a priority for the president is appointing an individual to lead the Justice Department who will protect him from investigations. President Trump has reportedly asked Barr in the past whether he would serve as Trump’s personal defense attorney and has inquired whether Barr, like Sessions, would recuse himself from the Mueller investigation. Barr is already on record minimizing the seriousness of allegations surrounding Trump and Russia. In reference to a supposed Clinton uranium scandal that gained traction in right-wing conspiracy circles, it was reported that “Mr. Barr said he sees more basis for investigating the uranium deal than any supposed collusion between Mr.
