Shortly
after swearing in Attorney General, Jeff Sessions US President, Donald Trump on
Thursday signed three new executive orders that he said are "designed
to restore safety in America."
One of the
orders, aimed at "reducing crime and restoring public safety,"
directs the newly appointed attorney general to establish a new Task Force on
Crime Reduction and Public Safety.
The Task Force will develop "strategies to reduce crime, including,
in particular, illegal immigration, drug trafficking and violent crime,"
propose new legislation, and submit at least one report to the President within
the next year.
The second
executive order is aimed at combating transnational drug cartels, proscribes
steps for various federal agencies to "increase intelligence" sharing
among law enforcement partners. The order also instructs an existing
inter-agency working group to submit a report to Trump within four months detailing
the progress made in combating criminal organizations, "along with any
recommended actions for dismantling them."
Finally,
Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to use
existing federal law to prosecute those who commit crimes against law
enforcement officers.
