U.S. Attorney General Sessions has ordered his prosecutors to
review the case files on murders of transgender people to make sure
there’s not a serial killer or hate group carrying out the attacks, he
said in a speech Thursday morning. He also said he told his prosecutors
to work with the FBI and U.S. attorney offices around the country to
figure out how they can help local law enforcement investigating the
murders.
There were 22 transgender people killed last year—the most ever
recorded—but 2017 is on pace to exceed that figure, with 14 transgender
people having been murdered so far this year, according to Human Rights Watch.
This is actually great news if it pans out, but pardon us if we remain skeptical - we remember Sessions track record and this was NOT on his agenda ... pinning medals on the killers would be more in his wheelhouse.
