Sessions sends judges, attorneys to border to deal with ‘caravan’
By Rafael Bernal - 05/02/18 03:52 PM EDT

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Wednesday he will send 35 additional U.S. state attorneys and 18 immigration judges to the southern border, as immigrants from the so-called “caravan” seek asylum in the United States.

Sessions said the additional judges will represent “about a 50 percent increase” in the local capacity to handle immigration claims.

“We are not going to let this country be overwhelmed,” said Sessions. “People are not going to caravan or otherwise stampede our border. People should wait their turn.”
