Gen. Jeff Sessions has directed federal prosecutors in the states bordering Mexico to crack down harder on migrants who repeatedly enter the country illegally. "For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned: This is a new era. This is the Trump era," Sessions said Tuesday in a speech at the Nogales port of entry in Arizona. But immigrant advocacy groups criticized the new policy for what they said amounted to targeting migrants who pose no threat to U.S. citizens. The goal is a “surge” of more judges to the border area to try to shorten those waits, he said.
