Jeff Sessions is sending a federal hate crimes lawyer to help prosecute the murder of a transgender teen in Iowa

The Justice Department has dispatched an experienced federal hate crimes lawyer to Iowa to help prosecute a man charged with murdering a transgender high school student last year, a move that officials said was personally initiated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In taking the step, Mr. Sessions, a staunch conservative, is sending a signal that he has made a priority of fighting violence against transgender people individually, even as he has rolled back legal protections for them collectively.

    From Sessions' speech:

    "Finally, I have directed all our federal prosecutors to make fighting violent crime a top priority — and you can be sure that this includes hate crimes. We will demand and expect results.

    Under our Constitution and laws, this nation protects freedom of conscience, religion, speech, petition and assembly among others. Thomas Jefferson swore eternal hostility over any domination of the mind of man. So let it be."
