New York City’s police sergeants union, in a filing listing many issues before legislators this year, noted that it had worked for the confirmation of Jeff Sessions as attorney general. Ed Mullins, the president of the union, wrote to Judiciary Committee members to
endorse Sessions as a “man of unquestionable integrity devoted to the rule of law and the best interests of our nation.” The filing shows the union also lobbied for bills to
expedite the deportation of alleged gang members and
to repeal President Barack Obama’s order limiting the transfer of military equipment to local police departments.
