The days of going soft on law breakers are over.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions sent a letter out on Thursday to 94 U.S. attorneys telling them to pursue the most serious charges they can against the majority of criminals, Fox News reported.
The decision will result in longer prison sentences because of the mandatory minimum sentences it will trigger.
“The Sessions Memo,” as it has been called, instructed the federal prosecutors to “charge and pursue the most serious and readily provable offense.”
It is in stark contrast to former Attorney General Eric Holder who, as a member of the Obama administration, instructed prosecutors to adhere to a “smart on crime” policy that advised prosecutors to be lenient on low-level drug crimes.
Conservatives were excited about the return of law and order.
Chief among them was Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
This policy by @jeffsessions will go a long way in #MakingAmericaSafeAgain. He understands how criminals operate. https://t.co/NgfNhHWoey

The #sessions memo is probably the most pointless and devastating thing out if this admin yet. Roll it back 20 years…
