We can confirm one person is in custody. We will hold a press conference at the Department of Justice at 2:30pm ET.

We're pleased the President agreed we shouldn't support criminal justice reform that would reduce sentences, put drug traffickers back on streets, & undermine our law enforcement who are working night & day to reduce violent crime & drug trafficking in the middle of opioid crisis

The Washington Post never reached out to the Department. Their story is not accurate. There has been no change to the Department’s zero tolerance policy to prosecute adults who cross our border illegally instead of claiming asylum at any port of entry at the border.

The 'all clear' has been given at the Deparment of Justice. No active shooter present.

The Attorney General didn't create this issue. But he cannot accept unconstitutional interference with federal law enforcement from any state. That is why this lawsuit was filed and that is why we expect to win.

Shortly thereafter, that same individual--who should have been deported--was arrested on charges of murder. This should shock the conscience but instead it's business as usual in California.

In the meantime, law abiding Californians are the victims. For example, just last fall local police in Northern CA arrested an illegal alien for spousal battery. ICE asked to pick up the person to begin removal proceedings but instead that person was put back on the streets.

These are national problems that are exacerbated by states like California when they put federal law officers at risk by refusing to share even the release date of a criminal illegal alien that they themselves believed were dangerous enough to arrest in the first place.

In fact, the only war that has been declared by the Attorney General and the Trump Administration is on violent crime, transnational criminal organizations, and the drug crisis.

John C Calhoun, who popularized the theory of nullification before the Civil War, also thought enforcing federal law was an "act of war," but every student of American history (except the Governor of California it would seem) knows that debate was settled at Appomattox Courthouse

On idea that Attorney General Sessions directed an aide to plant negative stories on Jim Comey: This did not happen and would not happen. Plain and simple. And everyone who has ever met Jeff Sessions knows it, too.

The letter released by the IG tonight is entirely consistent w my earlier tweets & DAG’s testimony. IG had no objection to release to Congress. We then consulted senior career legal/ethics experts to determine there were no issues w releasing texts to either Congress or press.

So timeline in short: (1) Copies delivered to Congress, (2) Some media outlets are in possession of copies of texts (3) Department shows copies of texts to reporters working in the building.

Here’s where confusion seems to be: It seems that other reporters may have had same copies of texts outside of this process. But, as should be clear, once we provided them to Congress, there was no legal or ethical obligation against sharing them w media.

After that consultation, senior career ethics advisors determined that there were no legal or ethical concerns, including under the Privacy Act, that prohibited the release of the information to the public either by members of Congress or by the Department.
