Since the federal prisons are already funded, it would not have been difficult to move those prisoners to a federal prison.
Individual senators, both Dem and Republican, can easily hold that up. What you write here bears no resemblance to how these things actually work.

He has backtracked on that one also.
Once again, he did so in the face of enormous amounts of pressure, primarily from the Republicans, not to do so. You act as if he was just doing other **** and forgot about this stuff. You're blaming him for not doing things that the people YOU vote for and support are actively working to block him from doing.
These rhetorical questions of yours - 'why hasn't he done this or that?' - are a little asinine in the face of the fact that there's been massive opposition from your side to doing these things. He's attempted to do the things you listed and has been blocked from doing so. Can't fault him for that.
