So what the presidential order says is it's at the discretion of the prosecution if they press or drop charges, and the don't have an obligation any more to prosecute federal crimes? How is the "we, the people" represented in this discrimination? How is it supervised and controlled and "corrected" if the wrong crimes are not prosecuted?

They also do not have the obligation to prosecute every crime. https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/what-is-prosecutorial-discretion-.html https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/what-is-pros... https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/prosecutorial-discretion-leeway-prosecutors-decisions-criminal-charges.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/prosecutorial-discre...
