DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) —U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions criticized federal judges who've thwarted some of President Donald Trump's immigration policies at a judicial conference Friday in Des Moines.
Sessions spoke at the 8th Circuit Judicial Conference, telling the crowd that the judges' "erroneous rulings" have been costly to taxpayers and that judges "aren't sent from Olympus."
Trump has panned judges who've blocked his immigration policies, including those who've ruled against his administration's effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. The program was enacted during President Barack Obama's administration. It has authorized around 700,000 people brought to the United States illegally as children to obtain work permits and driver's licenses.
