Border-crossing prosecutions jump 71 percent in Tucson federal court

    By Curt Prendergast Arizona Daily Star

    As Attorney General Jeff Sessions pushes for zero-tolerance for illegal border crossings, Southern Arizona already has seen a 71 percent spike in those prosecutions.

    About 8,500 border-crossing prosecutions went through Operation Streamline, a fast-track program that handles the bulk of such prosecutions in Southern Arizona, from Oct. 1, 2017, through April 19, according to U.S. District Court calendars compiled by the Arizona Daily Star. During the same period in fiscal 2017, about 5,000 prosecutions went through Streamline.
