The Position of the Fired U.S. Attorneys on Border Enforcement

In “3 fired U.S. attorneys were tried by border policing,” Richard A. Serrano in the Los Angeles Times (here) reports on something previously reported on this blog — that the fired U.S attorneys coincidentally were not too keen on the administration;’s priorities on border enforcement prosecutions.  Here is the lead to Serrano’s story:
