This is exactly what so many of us were afraid of when we said that Jeff Sessions was a danger to the American people and should never be allowed to hold the position of attorney general. 

And to his credit, so far, Sessions-ism is working. 

From their own mouths, agents at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) say that enforcement has gotten more aggressive in the Trump era, as well as standards and protocols being disregarded and more ethnocentrism showing up among agents. 

Sessions has also pushed forward with a revived War on Drugs which isn’t at all based in any reality other than he desperately wants to lock up as many poor people and people of color as possible. 

And more recently, he expanded the Justice Department’s ability to seize property from Americans suspected of participating in crimes, regardless of whether they have actually been convicted.
