Document ID: 0.7.910.10946 20201130-0000667 EOIR’S STRATEGIC CASELOAD REDUCTION PLAN

The pending caseload for the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has almost doubled since 11. 20 Indeed, s of aSeptember 22, 2017, EOIR’s pending caseload at the immigration judge (IJ) level exceeded 00 634,. Not 0 all of those cases, arehowever, appropriately classified as “back logged.” For instance, detained cases are generally resolved at the IJ level in 70days or less and, thus, are not backlogged in any meaningful sense. Many immigration cases also include riders, spouses or children “riding” with the principal case. Although each rider is counted toward the 00 634, 0total, riders and principals generally form only one case for adjudicatory purposes. Thus, including riders overstates the actual number of separate cases pending. Finally, a certain percentage of cases will always be docketed at any given time. These cases cannot be considered backlogged, especially if they have been pending for less than the median case adjudication time. Consequently, excluding detained cases, riders, and cases pending less than the median decision time of 21 months, a more appropriate estimate of the overall number of backlogged cases is approximately 00 . 264, 0 Although this figure is significantly less than 634, 00 , 0EOIR recognizes that it needs to be reduced as expeditiously as possible. Therefore, this memorandum outlines five initiatives that EOIR is implementing to address and reduce the pending caseload.

I. BACKGROUND AND GOAL

Both extrinsic and intrinsic factors have contributed to EOIR’s immigration court caseload growth, including changes in immigration policies, sluggish hiring of new 20 IJs prior to 17, and decreased IJ productivity. Therefore, EOIR has devised a multi-front plan grounded in five initiatives that address the caseload growth from different perspectives and provide a comprehensive strategy for significantly reducing the caseload 20by 20 .

The purpose of EOIR’s caseload reduction strategy is to reduce the overall number of pending cases while maintaining due process. Three independent variables drive the pending non-detained caseload: (1) the number of IJs adjudicating cases; (2) the productivity rate of each individual IJ; and, (3) the number of new cases filed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Consequently, to reverse the caseload growth, EOIR has designed a strategy to increase the first and second variables while working with DHS on accommodating any sudden changes in the third.

In short, to reduce the pending caseload, EOIR must increase its number of IJs, increase their productivity, and manage incoming case receipts from DHS. To those ends, EOIR has developed five strategic initiatives that each encompass multiple processes for confronting the pending caseload by addressing one or more of the three independent variables identified above. None of the initiatives are mutually exclusive, and all can and will be pursued simultaneously.

II. INITIATIVES TO REDUCE THE PENDING CASELOAD

Initiative 1: IncreasingAdjudicatory Capacity

EOIR will increase adjudicatory capacity by increasing allocations of IJs, support staff, and space. These increases will improve overall output, as each new IJ 0should 0 average 6 0to 7 0additional

1

Document ID: 0.7.910.10946-000001 20201130-0000668 completed cases annually once she he completes or training. Since 16, FY EOIR 20 has increased its IJ corps from 273 to 332, and is in an ongoing process of hiring more IJs up to its current authorization of 384.

If implemented as intended, he Attorney t General’s new streamlined IJ hiringshould process reduce the amount of time to hire new IJs from an average of 742 days under the prior process to six months or less. Thus, EOIR anticipates that it will significantlyincrease its IJ corps within the next year.

To support this increase to its cadre of IJs, EOIR must hire additional support staff. Therefore, it is also requesting funding for19 FY to 20set the IJ/law clerk ratio at 1:1. The presence of a dedicated law clerk for each IJ to assist with routine motions, bond memoranda, and other types of legal work would make IJs more efficient by increasing the amount of time IJs spend hearing and deciding cases.

Finally, EOIR must also increase space allocations to support its increase in new personnel. Although EOIR is authorized for 384 IJs, it only has courtroom . EOIR space is for working 370 with the General Services Administration (GSA) to identify new space and to expedite build-outs of existing space. Increasing space to increase adjudicatory capacityincludes not only traditional courtrooms, but video teleconferencing (VTC) facilities as well. Within the next year, EOIR is planning to pilot VTC immigration hearing centers (IHCs), centralized locations where IJs will adjudicate cases by VTC from locations around the country.

Initiative 2: Maximizingthe Use ofAvailable AdjudicatoryCapacity

In order to reduce the pending caseload, EOIR must also maximize its current adjudicatory capacity. EOIR’s existing capacity is not being utilized to and its underutilized fullest extent resources create significant opportunitycosts for adjudicating more cases. Overall, acombination of docket inefficiency and unused capacity are exacerbating the growth of the pending caseload, and this initiative addresses both prongs of the problem.

First, EOIR must improve its scheduling, docketing, and adjudicatory efficiency practices. For example, the time from the filing of the charging document to the first hearing varies significantly from court to court, as does the number of cases IJs hear per day. Therefore, to ensure that cases timely and appropriately move throughout the adjudicatory pipeline, EOIR is establishing and implementing nationwide scheduling and docketing standards that have clear goals for each stage of a case.

Second, EOIR is committed to eliminating i.e. darkunused) ( courtrooms, which represent significant lost opportunities to hear additional cases. Dark courtrooms occur when an IJ is unavailable due to leave or an alternate work schedule (AWS)day off. For example, everyFriday thereareatleast100darkcourtroomsnationwidewhicharenotusedbecauseofanIJ’sAWSday off. As part ofthis “no darkcourtrooms” initiative, EOIR is working with the IJ union, the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), to reassign AWS days off in order to ensure that courts are not left unoccupied when IJs are out and to restrict AWS days for new IJs who need to accumulate as much bench experience as possible. EOIR is also hiring new IJs for the VTC

Improvements in process efficiencies and the elimination or, at the least, significant reduction ofdarkcourtroomswillmaximizeEOIR’scurrentadjudicatorycapacityand,thus,helpreducethe pending caseload byincreasing productivity.

Initiative 3: TransformingEOIR ’s InstitutionalCulture andInfrastructure

Since 2011, EOIR has not consistently focused on efficiently adjudicating non-detained cases. Consequently, it has developed an institutional culture that does not fully prioritize the expeditious adjudication ofthose cases. Reinforcing this culture are increasedfears byIJs of reversal on appeal for making tough or unpopular legal decisions and of criticism by United States Circuit Court judges. Thisattitudeof“defensivejudging”manifestsitselfinpractice s that aggravate the pending caseload e.g. granting unnecessary continuances, refusing to pretermit applications that have no viable bases, and unnecessarily prolonging cases to allow a respondent multiple attempts to salvage an unmeritorious case. Reversing these practices and changing EOIR’s overall institutional culture requires breaking prior bad habits and encouraging new, more efficient practices.

EOIR does nothave anyperformance metrics or goals regarding completion of non-detained cases because its current collective bargaining agreement with the NAIJ prohibits the use of any type of performance metrics in evaluating an IJ’s performance. But, such metrics can be effective tools for providing IJs with insight into their case management. Therefore, EOIR is developing reasonable caseload management goals and negotiating their implementation with the NAIJ. These goals would provide clear guidance to IJs about the timely adjudication of cases and expected case completion goals for non-detained dockets. Similarly, EOIR lacks any type of evaluative mechanisms or benchmarks for determining whether a court is operating efficiently. Thus, it is working to develop uniform standards for courts regarding case processing, including standards for support staff, to more effectively assess which courts are functioning properly.

Culturally, EOIR is working with IJs “ defensiveto reduce judging ” by improving training and reviewing and clarifying disciplinary rules and procedures related to IJs based on their decisions, and by reinforcing the primacy ofan IJ’s central role, deciding cases. Relatedly, EOIR is also reviewing its procedures for oral decisions and analyzing whether switching to a template-based, written-decision model would improve efficiency and help adjudicate more cases in a timely and legally sufficient manner.

In addition to changing itsinstitutionalculture,changestoEOIR’sinfrastructurewillalsocombat the growthin the pending caseload. On this front, EOIRis pursuing two significant changes to its infrastructure that will improve efficiency and enhance productivity. With respect to the first, EOIR is transforming its operations at the IJ level from a paper-based system to an electronic file system. Second, EOIR will establish an Office of Policy for its analytics, strategy, and policy processes. Currently, polices related to the pending caseload run through several different EOIR sub-components without any centralized coordination, which complicates impedes and effective implementation of efforts to address the pending caseload. The establishment of an Office of

Document ID: 0.7.910.10946-000001 20201130-0000670 Policy will permit closer management EOIR’s of caseload reduction efforts discussed in this memorandum.

Initiative 4: EnhancingPartnerships with DHS

A significant aspect of EOIR’s pending caseload has been driven by the policy choices of DHS. DHS is solely responsible for new case inputs; its three immigration-related components each file cases with EOIR and directly control both the timing and the amount of new cases filed with EOIR each year.

For example, there are almost00 349, 0pending cases administratively closed by EOIR which are potentially subject to a motion to recalendar byDHS. DHS also has its own adjudicatory backlog of cases that may be transferred to EOIR over the next two years, and receipts of new cases from DHS overall are already up significantly since 17. January In short, 20 DHS case receipts are expected to continue to increase, and any burst of case initiation by a DHS component could seriously compromise EOIR’s ability to address its caseload and greatly exacerbate the current state of the backlog.

Additionally, a significant amount of delay in many EOIR cases is due to waiting for DHS to adjudicate a petition or application for an alien already in immigration proceedings. EOIR is actively engaged in dialogue with DHS regarding ways in which those delays can be minimized. EOIR is also working on its own internal procedures to minimize the impact of these cases on its own dockets.

EOIR has provided input regarding the impact on its dockets of any new DHS policies. It is also working with DHS on a memorandum of understanding regarding data-sharing and on enhancing strategic projections of future immigration cases, both of which will help ameliorate the consequences of any sudden surges in new cases. EOIR senior leadership enjoys a strong professional relationship with its counterparts at DHS. Although EOIR cannot dictate DHS policy, the number of new cases filed by DHS, or the speed at which DHS components process cases, it can continue to work closely with those components in order to ameliorate the consequences on its caseload of any future actions by DHS.

Initiative 5: ImprovingExistingLaws and Policies

Changes to existing law, especially regarding issues such as continuances and asylum eligibility, would have a profound impact on EOIR’s pending caseload. Although some of the most efficacious changes would require legislation, EOIR is pursuing other means of improving law and policy in an effort to address its pending caseload without compromising due process.

For instance, EOIR’s regulatory authority provides one avenue to address cases more expeditiously. EOIR recently submitted a proposed final rule that would permit IJs to deny certain types of non-meritorious applications for relief even after the cap for grants for that relief have been reached. It is also preparing regulatory changes regarding continuances and case remands from the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) which would help cases move more expeditiously through the system.

4

Document ID: 0.7.910.10946-000001 20201130-0000671 Additionally, EOIR periodically issues Operating Policies and Procedures Memoranda (OPPMs) related to the adjudication of cases in immigration courts. EOIRhas rescinded manyOPPMs that have become outdated or superseded and is reviewing others that may need revision. It is also evaluating ways in which cases can be processed more efficiently, while maintaining due process, through policy guidance contained in an OPPM.

Finally, the Attorney General has authority to establish immigration policy through legal interpretations of immigration laws in administrative determinations in immigration proceedings. EOIRhas identified multiple issues to recommendfor AttorneyGeneral review. Clarification and guidance from the Attorney General will help streamline immigration court proceedings and will have a substantial impact on the size of the pending caseload.

III. CONCLUSION

ThesizeofEOIR’spendingcaseloadwillnotreverseitselfovernight, andasDHSincreasesits enforcement activities and works to address its own backlog of pending cases, the caseload will likely get worse before it improves. Nevertheless, OIR’sanalytics,thereareeffective based on E ways to address the pending caseload consistent with maintaining due process. The five steps above will increase the number of immigration judges, enhance IJ efficiency, and ensure that DHS actionsdonotoffsetEOIR’s work to reduce the caseload. In fact, EOIRhas already seen a notable slowdown in the growth of the size of the pending caseload since April as some of these initiatives have been tentativelyimplemented. If these initiatives are fully realized, EOIR can realistically expect not only a reversal of the growth of the caseload, but a significant reduction in it perhaps by as much% as 50 20 byFY20 . Accordingly, EOIR recommends that the Deputy AttorneyGeneral approve its Strategic Caseload Reduction Plan.

Dear Ms. Howard,

Your FY 2016 Byrne JAG grant award required you to comply with 8 U.S.C. § 1373; to undertake a review to validate your jurisdiction's compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1373; and to submit documentation, including an official legal opinion from counsel, adequately supporting the validation. Thank you for your recent submission. The Department ofJustice has reviewed your submission, all attached documentation, and your jurisdiction's laws, policies, and practices relating to compliance with section 1373, to the extent they were provided or are readily available. This letter is to inform you that, based on a preliminary review, the Department has determined that the following laws, policies, or practices may violate 8 U.S.C. § 1373, depending on how your jurisdiction interprets and applies them. These laws, policies, or practices include, but may not be limited to:

• SB 54/CA Code § 7284.6. Part (a)(l )(C) and (D) state that California law enforcement agencies shall not provide "information regarding a person's release date ... [or] home address." Part (e), however, states that this law does not "prohibit or restrict ... sending ... information regarding ... immigration status" to federal immigration authorities. In order to comply with 8 U.S.C. § 1373, the Department has determined that California would need to certify that it interprets and applies these provisions to not restrict California officers from sharing information regarding immigration status with federal immigration officers, including information regarding release date and home address. The Department has determined that California would also need to certify that it has communicated th.is interpretation to its officers and employees. If California cannot provide this certification, the Department has determined that these provisions violate section 1373(a).

From: Carr, Peter (OPA(b)(6) Sent: Wednesday, April 5, 2017 11:53:04 AM To: Dean, Matthew Subject: Mexican cartel leader sentencing today

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to flag that Alfredo Beltran Leyva will be sentenced today at 2:30 before Judge Leon in D.C. federal court.

This case represents the most significant extradition and conviction of a member of the Beltran-Leyva cartel in the history of that cartel, and one of the most significant major Mexican cartel convictions ever in our country’s long- running battle against these criminal organizations.

Below are embargoed excerpts from our press release, just so you have the details about his case. The Post also ran a story about his this morning with a https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/kingpin lot more detail: - ex-ally-of-el-chapo-guzman-whose-arrest-set-off-mexicos-drug-war-to-be-sentenced-in-us/2017/04/05/5fae48b2- 194a-11e7-9887-1a5314b56a08_story.html?utm_term .05a40d6c3406.

Realize that there is a lot of news right now, so this may not make the cut. But outside of El Chapo, this is the next biggest cartel leader we have in U.S. custody.

Best, Peter

MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF DEPARTMENT COMPONENTS AND UNITED ST ATES A._-·_rT._,O,.,R~N~E~Y-9Silt _D -,. / ' _ FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL -A ,,/¥~

SUBJECT: Supporting Federal, State, Loca

Our mission statement directs the Department of Justice "to ensure public safety," "to impartial provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime," and "to ensure fair and administration of justice for all Americans." We fully embrace and share these responsibilities and with thousands oflaw enforcement agencies across the country that also seek to prevent crime protect the public. We understand the crucial role interagency partnerships play in successful it has crime prevention strategies, and the Department is proud of the longstanding relationships alone with our federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners. The Federal government the civil cannot successfully address rising crimes rates, secure public safety, protect and respect first and rights of all members of the public, or implement best practices in policing. These are, and foremost, tasks for state, local, and tribal law enforcement. By strengthening our longstanding for all productive relationships with our law enforcement partners, we will improve public safety Americans. The Department will use its resources to effectively promote a peaceful and lawful society, that all where the civil rights of all persons are valued and protected. To that end, I expect goals, Department components will adhere to and support principles that will advance those two including, but not limited to the following: law • The safety and protection of the public 1s the paramount concern and duty of enforcement officials.

• Law enforcement officers perform uniquely dangerous tasks, and the Department should help promote officer safety, officer morale, and public respect for their work. the • Local law enforcement must protect and respect the civil rights of all members of public. not • Local control and local accountability are necessary for effective local policing. It is the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies.

Document ID: 0.7.910.9104-000001 20210608-0001028 Memorandum from the Attorney General Subject: Supporting Federal, State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement Page 2

• The misdeeds of individual bad actors should not impugn or undermine the legitimate and honorable work that law enforcement officers and agencies perform in keeping American communities safe.

• The collection and analysis of timely, reliable statistics on crime and criminals are essential for effective law enforcement strategies.

• Recruitment and training of law enforcement officers should focus on making law enforcement a rewarding career, and attracting and retaining well-qualified personnel.

• Collaboration between federal and local law enforcement is important, and jurisdictions whose law enforcement agencies accept funding from the Department are expected to adhere to the Department's grant conditions as well as to all federal laws.

I believe your gmail is on our list per last week. Credentials here go to reporters who work out of this building. In the past, Breitbart has preferred to work elsewhere. Let me know if that changes. Otherwise, youre always going to be fine to come in the building for press events or anything else through the visitors center if you give our office a heads up.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SESSIONS ANNOUNCES EXPANSION AND MODERNIZATION OF PROGRAM TO DEPORT CRIMINAL ALIENS HOUSED IN FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES

WASHINGTON Attorney General JeffSessions today announced the expansion and modernization ofthe Department’s InstitutionalHearingProgram(IHP).

The IHP identifies removable criminal aliens who are inmates in federal correctional facilities, provides in-person and video teleconference (VTC) immigration removal proceedings, and removes the alien upon completion ofsentence, rather than releasing the alien to an ICE detention facility or into the community for adjudication ofstatus.Bringing an Immigration Judge to the inmate for a determination ofremovability, rather than vice versa, saves time and resources and speeds hearings.

Document ID: 0.7.910.8955 20210608-0001042 The programis coordinatedbythe DepartmentofJustice’s Executive Office forImmigration Review (EOIR), the Bureau ofPrisons (BOP) andImmigrations andCustoms Enforcement(ICE).

“We owe itto the American people to ensure thatillegal aliens who have been convicted ofcrimes and are serving time in our federal prisons are expeditiously removed from our country as the law requires,” said Attorney General Sessions.“This expansion and modernization ofthe Institutional Hearing Program gives us the tools to continue making Americans safe again in their communities.”

The expansion and modernization ofthe IHPprogramwill occurin the followingthree ways:

1. ICE, BOP, and EOIR will expand the number ofactive facilities with the program to a total of 14 BOP and 6 BOP contract facilities;

2. EOIR and BOP will increase each facility’s VTC capabilities and update existing infrastructure to aid in the ability to conduct removal proceedings; and

3. EOIR and ICE will finalize a new and uniform intake policy.EOIR and ICE expect to have reached agreementon this new intake process byApril6, 2017.

These improvements will speed the process ofdeporting incarcerated criminal aliens and will reduce costs to taxpayers.

Remarks as preparedfordelivery

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Good afternoon. TheDepartmentofJusticehasadutytoenforceournation’slaws, includingour immigration laws. Thoselawsrequireustopromptlyremovealienswhen theyareconvicted ofcertain crimes.

ThevastmajorityoftheAmerican peoplesupportthiscommon-senserequirement. Accordingtoonerecent poll, 80percentofAmericansbelievethatcitiesthatarrestilleg alimmig rantsforcrimesshouldberequiredtoturn them overtoimmig ration authorities.

Unfortunately, somestatesand citieshaveadoptedpoliciesdesig nedtofrustratetheenforcementofour immigration laws. Thisincludesrefusing todetain known felonsunderfederaldetainerrequests, orotherwisefailing to complywiththeselaws. Forexample, theDepartmentofHomelandSecurityrecentlyissued areportshowingthat in sing a leweek, thereweremorethan 200instancesofjurisdictionsrefusing to honorImmig ration andCustoms Enforcement(ICE)detainerrequestswith respecttoindividualscharg ed orconvicted ofaseriouscrime. Thecharges and convictionsag ainstthesealiensincludedrug traffickinghitand , run, rape, sexoffensesag ainstachild and even murder.

Suchpoliciescannotcontinue. Theymakeournation lesssafebyputtingdang erous criminalsbackon our streets.

Document ID: 0.7.910.8323 20210608-0001092 WeallrememberthetragiccaseofKateSteinle, the32-year-old woman whowasshotandkilledtwoyears agino San Franciscoasshewalked alongpierwithherfather. a Theshooter, FranciscoSanchez, was illeg an al immigrantwhohad alreadybeen deportedfivetimesandhad seven felonyconvictions.

Justeleven weeksbeforetheshooting,San Franciscohad releasedSanchezfromitscustody, evenhICE thoug hadfiled detainerrequesting a thathebekeptin custodyuntilimmig ration authoritiescouldpickhimupforremoval. Even worse, Sanchezadmittedthattheonlyreason hecametoSan Franciscowasbecauseofitssanctuarypolicies.

Asimilarstoryunfoldedjustlastweek, when EverValles, illeg an rantandMexicanalimmig national, was charged with murderand robberyofa man htrailstation.atalig Valles was releasedfrom a Denverjailin late December, despitethefactthatICEhadlodged adetainerforhisremoval.

TheAmerican peoplearejustifiablyang ry. Theyknowthatwhen citiesand statesrefusetohelpenforce immigration laws, ournation islesssafe. Failuretodeportalienswhoareconvictedforcriminaloffensesputswhole communitiesatrisk especiallyimmig rantcommunitiesin theverysanctuaryjurisdictionsthatseektoprotectthe perpetrators.

DUIs, assaults, burglaries, drugcrimes, ang g crimes, rapes, ainstchildren crimesag and murders. Countless Americanswouldbealivetoday and countlessloved oneswould rieving notbeg today ifthepoliciesofthese sanctuaryjurisdictionswereended.

Notonlydothesepoliciesendang erthelivesofeveryAmerican;justlastMay, theDepartmentofJustice InspectorGeneralfoundthatthesepoliciesalsoviolatefederallaw.

ThePresidenthasrig htlysaidthatthisdisreg ardforthelawmustend. In hisexecutiveorder, hestatedthatit isthepolicyoftheexecutivebranchtoensurethatstatesand citiescomplywith allfederallaws, includingour immigration laws.

Theorderalsostatesthat“theAttorneyGeneralandtheSecretary[ofHomelandSecurity] ...shallensure thatjurisdictionsthatwillfullyrefusetocomply”withthelaw“arenotelig ibletoreceiveFederalg rants, exceptas deemed necessaryforlawenforcementpurposesbytheAttorneyGeneralortheSecretary.”

TodayI am urg allstatesandlocaljurisdictionstocomplywithing allfederallaws, including 8U.S.C. Section 1373. Moreover, theDepartmentofJusticewillrequirejurisdictionsseekingorapplying forDepartmentg rantsto certifycompliancewithSection 1373 asacondition forreceivingtheseawards.

ThispolicyisentirelyconsistentwiththeDepartmentofJustice’sOfficeofJusticePrograms(OJP)g uidance issuedlastJulyunderthepreviousadministration.

This morningSuptJohnson is joiningg a roup ofmajor citypolice chiefs in Washington to meetwith the AttorneyGeneral on howthe federal governmentcan help targetviolence in urban He areas. will be bring ingofficials on the situation here in Chicagoand askingfor:

• More federal prosecutors detailed to Chicagoto focus on prosecution of felon in possession alofilleg g cases. un

Document ID: 0.7.910.5276 20210608-0001140 • More agents from ATF, DEAand FBI so we can create additional CPD task forces in active districts to uns interdictg andfocus enforcementon ang g s and un g crime. • HavingATF setup a NIBIN labhere in Chicago(like theyhave in Denver) so we can build strongg er un cases byprocessing evidence from shootingsand tracingguns faster. • Refocusingthe federal High-IntensityDrug Trafficking Ag encyaround targetinggun crimes and violence. • Resources for programs to expand Mayor's mentoringeconomic, developmentand communitybuildingefforts.

The meetingwith the Chiefs is expected at11am to beginand lasta fewhours.

On Friday the Superintendentwill be meetingwithRod Rosenstein, the nominee for DeputyAttorneyGeneral who successful was in imemtingtarg a etedfederal gun prosecution prog ram known as PROJECTEXILEin Maryland. credited EXILE was in reducingthe murder countin Baltimore from 282 in 2007 to 196in 2011.

Rosenstein has a trackrecord ofbuildingeffective partnerships with state and local police enciesag to implementstrateg ies to etg targ crime. un He is acrimefighter and will be instrumental for DOJ as theyassistcities like Chicagoand others grapple with risingun g violence.

ThelatestFBIdatatellusthatfrom2014to2015, theviolentcrimerateinthe U.S. increasedbymore than3percent thelargestone-y earincreasesince1991. The murderrateincreased10percent thelargestincreasesince1968. Andallofthisis takingplaceamidanunprecedentedepidemicofheroinandopioidabuse.

Ifthiswasjustaone-yearspikeinviolentcrime, wemightnotworrytoo much. Butthepreliminarydataforthefirsthalfof2016confirmedthesetrends. The numberofviolentcrimesinthefirsthalfoflastyearwasmorethan5 percenthigher thanthesameperiodin2015. Thenumberofmurderswasalsoup5percent, and aggravatedassaultsroseaswell. Since2014, themurderratehasgoneupin27 ofour country’s35largestcities. HomicideratesinChicago, Baltimore,Milwaukeeand Memphishavereturnedtolevelsnotseenintwodecades. HereinRichmond, the preliminarymurdertotalfor2016 was 44percenthigherthanthey earbefore.

Myfearisthatthissurgeinviolentcrimeisnota“blip,”butthestartofa dangerousnewtrend. Iworrythatwerisklosingthehard-wongainsthathavemade Americaasaferandmoreprosperousplace.

Whilewecanhopeforthebest, wecan’taffordtobecomplacent. When crimeratesmoveinthewrongdirection,theycanmovequickly .

Weknowthis, becausethoseofusaboveacertainagehavelivedit. Inthe early1960s, crimebeganto riseinourcountry . By 1973, crimeratesinalmostevery categoryhaddoubledovertheirlevelsjustadecadebefore. Asthe’70swenton, levelsofcrimeandviolencethatweoncedeemedunacceptablyhighbecamethe “newnormal”inAmerica.

Third: Toturnbackthisrisingtideofviolentcrime, weneedtoconfrontthe heroinandopioidcrisisinournation anddismantlethetransnationalcartelsthat bringdrugsandviolenceintoourneighborhoods.

Ournationisinthethroesofaheroinandopioidepidemic. Overdosedeaths morethantripledbetween2010and2014. AccordingtotheCDC, about140 Americansonaveragenow diefromadrugoverdoseeachday . Thatmeansevery threeweeks,wearelosingasmanyAmericanlivestodrugoverdosesaswelostinthe 9/11 attacks.

Document ID: 0.7.910.7260 20210608-0001153 Illegal drugs are flooding across our southern border and into cities across our countrybringing, violence, addiction, and misery. Wehave also seen an increase in the trafficking ofnew, low-cost heroin byMexican drug cartels working with local street gangs. As the market for this heroin expands, gangs fight for territoryand new customers and neighborhoods are caught in the crossfire.

There are three main waytos fight the scourge ofdrugs: criminal enforcement, treatment and prevention.

Criminal enforcement is essential to stop both the transnational cartels that ship drugs into our countryand, the thugs and gangs who use violence and extortion to move their product. One ofthe President’s executive orders directed the Justice Department to dismantle these organizations and gangs and we will do just that.

Treatment programs are also vital. But treatment often comes too late to save people from addiction or death.

So we need to focus on the third waywe can fight drug use: preventing people from ever taking drugs in the first place.

I realize this maybe an unfashionable beliefin a time ofgrowing tolerance of drug use. But too manylives are at stake to worryabout being fashionable. I reject the idea that America will be a better place ifmarijuana is sold in everycorner 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 dependencyfor another that’s onlyslightlyless awful. Our nation needs to sayclearlyonce again that using drugs will destroy our y life.

In the ’80s and ’90s, we saw how campaigns stressing prevention brought down drug use and addiction. Wecan do this again. Educating people and telling them the terrible truth about drugs and addiction will result in better choices. Wecan reduce the use ofdrugs, save lives and turn back the surge in crime that inevitably follows in the wake ofincreased drug abuse.

Finally: The federal government alone cannot meet the challenge ofviolent crime and drugs so we need to protect and support our brave men and women in law enforcement. About 85 percent ofall law enforcement officers in our nation are not federal, but state and local. These are the men and women on the front lines the ones doing most ofthe tough and often dangerous work that keeps our neighborhoods safe.

Unfortunatelyin, recent y law ears enforcement as a whole has been unfairly maligned and blamed for the unacceptable deeds ofa few bad actors. Too manyof our officers, deputies, and troopers believed the political leadership ofthis country abandoned them. Amid this intense public scrutinyand criticism, their morale has gone down, while the number ofpolice officers killed in the line ofdutyhas gone up.

Hi Sarah, Iam areporterforFoxNews.com and am writinga story abouttheTrump administration’s latestpush to privatize federal prisons. In my story, Iaddress critics’ claims that for-profit prisons have a cozy relationship with the Trump administration specifically, Attorney General Sessions and two of his former aides who are now lobbyists for one of the largest private prisons in the country. Ialso address concerns brought by the ACLU, that argues pro-profit motives introduce questionable incentives and that the less a prison spends per inmate on things like health care, upkeep and security, the more it can make monetarily. The ACLU also questions the relationship Sessions has with GEO Group. Iwas hoping to get a comment from the AG’s office to these allegations. Ican be reached(b)(6) via email a or (b)(6)a . Thank you, - Barnini Chakraborty

DETAILS OF YOUR COMPLAINT

Explain your complaint in your own words. Include the following: all important dates, times, places, and court file numbers. Please be advised we cannot return documents submitted to this office. You should retain a copy of all materials you submit. Do not send cassette tapes unless requested by the Bar to do so. The Alabama State Bar cannot be held responsible for Jost, misdirected or damaged documents.

On behalf ofthe American Civil Liberties Union, I am filing this complaint against Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, who is admitted to practice law in the State ofAlabama, and has been a member of the Alabama Bar since 1973. Mr. Sessions is the Attorney General ofthe United States, and violated Rule 8.4 of the Alabama Rules ofProfessional Conduct. Mr. Sessions made false statements during sworn testimony on January 10, 2017, and in a subsequent written response to questions on January 17, 2017. I urge the Bar to investigate this complaint, and take any appropriate disciplinary action against Mr. Sessions.

During a hearing considering the nomination ofMr. Sessions for the position ofAttorney General before the Unites States Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Sessions was asked bySenator Al Franken whether or not "anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign" had communicated with the Russian government. Mr. Sessions testified that, "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians." The full hearing transcript is attached to this complaint as Exhibit A, and a video recording of the hearing is available at https://www.c-span.org/video/?420932-l/attorney­ general-nominee-jeff-sessio ns-testifies-confirmation-hearing and https://W',vw.c -span. org/video/? 420932-101 / attorney-general-nominee-jeff-sessions-testifies-confirmation -hearing.

One week later, on January 17, 2017, Mr. Sessions submitted his written responses to Senator Patrick Leahy's questions for the record. Senator Leahy asked: "Several of the President Elect's nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. 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?" (emphasis in original). Senator Sessions wrote a one-word response: "No." The full written submission by Mr. Sessions is attached to this complaint as Exhibit B.

Contradicting Mr. Sessions' clear statement that "I did not have communications with the Russians" and his subsequent written statement, the Washington Post reported on March 1, 2017 that Mr. Sessions had met twice last year with Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, including a private meeting in Mr. Sessions' Washington office in September. In a statement issued later the same day, Attorney General Sessions did not dispute that the meetings took place, but instead stated that he did not discuss the campaign with the ambassador. He reiterated this characterization during a press conference on March 2, 2017, stating that, "I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign." Articles from the Washington Post are attached to this complaint as Exhibits C and D.

Document ID: 0.7.910.6609-000001 20210608-00011 99 Rule 8.4(c) ofthe Alabama Rules ofProfessional Conduct states that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to "engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Specific to Mr. Sessions' position as a United States Senator at the time ofhis false statement and his current position as the Attorney General ofthe United States, the Comment to Rule 8.4 provides, "Lawyers holding public office assume legal responsibilities going beyond those ofother citizens. A lawyer's abuse ofpublic office can suggest an inability to fulfill the professional role of attorney." Notwithstanding the later unsworn statements from Mr. Sessions more than a month after the hearing, the report ofmeetings between Mr. Sessions and the Russian ambassador does not square with Mr. Sessions' sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, particularly where he stated, specifically: "I did not have communications with the Russians." I urge the Alabama Bar to investigate this complaint and the statements made by Mr. Sessions to determine whether he violated the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct.

I stand ready to provide the Bar any additional information necessary for its investigation.

The attorney you are filing the complaint against will receive a copy of your complaint, and may be asked to respond to your allegations.

I hereby certify that the information I am providing is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and that I will voluntarily appear and testify to the facts in the complaint ifcalled upon by the Alabama State Bar. Cui~_/«;~ Name (signatui:cf

This is very much in the planning stages so I would ask this stay close hold.

The AG is going to visit major US cities that have been plagued by violent crime to meet with law enforcement, victims, and prosecutors. At this point, the cities could be places like St Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, and Oakland starting March 31.

A typical trip would include a larger venue with remarks to a law enforcement audience, including local police, sheriffs, FOP, us attorneys, etc (this could be more of a town hall setting). Followed by a smaller roundtable with select leadership to discuss what’s working and where they need help. Then a meeting with victims’ families (this has typically been off the record but could depend on the families). It could also include a tour of a facility or a place of particular interest in crime reduction.

We would like to do some local radio and pretape local tv for their nightly news as well. Aside from that, it would be exclusive to Sean.

Let us know what you think. SIF

Sarah,

I've heard from verygood sources thatthe antitrustdivision in the DOJ atthe veryend of the Obama administration sentletters to Time Warner, AT&T, Monsanto and/orBayer, amongpotentiallyothercompanies thatthen President-electTrump orhis transition team wasmeeting with, requesting all communications/presentations/etcbetween the principals (Trump/the CEOs)and/ortheirteams.

Obviously, the then president-electand his transition team were meeting with these differentcompanies to discuss avarietyofpriorities forbusiness and economic development(including potential mergers between AT&T/Time Warnerand Monsanto/Bayer)forthe incoming administration.

IfwhatI'm hearing is accurate, and again the existence ofthese letters is from verysolid sources on this matter, then this is verytroubling in thatitisyetanothersign ofthe previous administration on its wayoutpotentiallyabusing the powerofgovernmentto create stumbling blocks and interfere with the incoming administration and the peaceful transition ofpowerto PresidentTrump and this new administration.

Is there anywayto geta hold ofthese letters?Orconfirm the existence ofthem?

Thanks, Matthew Boyle Washington Political Editor, BreitbartNews

The full context of the exchange with Franken is very important.

He was never asked whether there was any contact.

He was asked about ongoing contacts in the context of the "dossier" claims and he answered truthfully.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday suggested the Trump administration will step up enforcement of federal laws against recreational marijuana.

“I do believe thatll see you’ greater enforcement,” Spicer said, while adding the exact

Document ID: 0.7.910.5120 20210608-0001298 policy is “a question for the Department of Justice.”

It’s the latest sign President Trump is poised to take a tougher approach than the Obama Justice Department did in states that have legalized the use of recreational marijuana.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was coy about his approach last month during his confirmation hearing. "Using good judgment about how to handle these cases will be a responsibility of mine,” he said. “I know it won't be an easy decision, but I will try to do my duty in a fair and just way."

Sessions has been a critic of recreational marijuana laws in the past.

Spicer telegraphed the administration t take won’ a get-tough approach against medical marijuana, saying Trump believes in its ability to "comfort" people suffering from debilitating diseases.

But he said he takes a different view of recreational marijuana, linking it to the abuse of opioid drugs in states across the U.S.

There is little evidence showing a link between abuse of the two drugs. Some researchers believe medical marijuana could reduce help demand for opioid-based painkillers.

Eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Twenty others have laws allowing medical marijuana.

Document ID: 0.7.910.5015 20210608-0001383 On January 27, 2017, the President signed an Executive Order regarding immigrants and

refugees from certain Muslim-majority countries. The order has now been challenged in a

number of jurisdictions. As the Acting Attorney General, it is my ultimate responsibility to

determine the position of the Department of Justice in these actions.

My role is different from that of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which, through

administrations of both parties, has reviewed Executive Orders for form and legality before

they are issued. OLC’s review is limited to the narrow question of whether, in OLC’s view, a

proposed Executive Order is lawful on its face and properly drafted. Its review does not take

account of statements made by an administration or it surrogates close in time to the issuance of

an Executive Order that may bear on the order’s purpose. And importantly, it does not address

whether any policy choice embodied in an Executive Order is wise or just.

Similarly, in litigation, DOJ Civil Division lawyers are charged with advancing

reasonable legal arguments that can be made supporting an Executive Order. But my role as

leader of this institution is different and broader. My responsibility is to ensure that the position

of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of

what the law is after consideration of all the facts. In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that

the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to

always seek justice and stand for what is right. At present, I am not convinced that the defense of

the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the

Executive Order is lawful.

Consequently, for as long as I am the Acting Attorney General, the Department of

Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order, unless and until I become

convinced that it is appropriate to do so.
