Immigration Officials to Audit 1,000 More Companies
Friday, November 20 @ 02:04:49 EST by jean (86 reads) |  WASHINGTON — Immigration enforcement officials said Thursday that they were expanding a program for auditing companies that might have hired illegal immigrants and had notified 1,000 companies this week that they would have to undergo such a review.
John Morton, who heads Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, announced the new initiative, saying it was part of the administration’s plan to deal with companies that hire illegal workers. “ICE is focused on finding and penalizing employers who believe they can unfairly get ahead by cultivating illegal workplaces,” Mr. Morton said.

Napolitano: Legal status for illegals will help national security, labor unions
Saturday, November 14 @ 02:29:32 EST by jean (249 reads) | U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that providing some kind of legal citizenship pathway and status to illegal immigrants -- which critics say is amnesty -- is key to U.S. national security.
“We will never have fully effective law enforcement or national security as long as so many millions remain in the shadows,” Napolitano said in a speech Friday to the liberal advocacy group Center for American Progress.

Napolitano forecasts immigration overhaul in 2010
Friday, November 13 @ 21:43:38 EST by jean (250 reads) | The Obama administration expects Congress to begin moving to overhaul the nation's immigration laws early next year, while improved border security and a drop in migration caused by the economic downturn make passage "far more attainable" than in 2007, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday.
"When Congress is ready to act, we will be ready to support them," said Napolitano, President Obama's "point-person" on immigration policy issues. "The first part of 2010, we will see legislation beginning to move," she said.

“It’s the only one,” Matt Chandler, spokesman for the DHS, said on Thursday.

DHS Reshapes Its Immigration Enforcement Program
Friday, October 16 @ 02:51:02 EDT by alipac (543 reads) | A controversial federal program that deputizes state and local law enforcement agents to catch illegal immigrants is expanding under the Obama administration, despite changes announced this summer intended to curb alleged racial profiling and other police abuses.
The Department of Homeland Security is expected to report Friday morning that a small number of the 66 participating agencies have dropped out because of the new federal requirements, officials said. And those losses are offset by applications from 13 additional police and sheriff's departments, a federal official said, speaking on condition of anonymity before the formal announcement.

U.S. Can't Trace Foreign Visitors on Expired Visas
Monday, October 12 @ 12:28:40 EDT by alipac (541 reads) | DALLAS — Eight years after the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks and despite repeated mandates from Congress, the
United States still has no reliable system for verifying that foreign
visitors have left the country.
New concern was focused on that security loophole last week, when
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year-old Jordanian who had overstayed
his tourist visa, was accused in court of plotting to blow up a Dallas
skyscraper.
Last year alone, 2.9 million foreign visitors on temporary visas
like Mr. Smadi’s checked in to the country but never officially checked
out, immigration officials said. While officials say they have no way
to confirm it, they suspect that several hundred thousand of them
overstayed their visas.

DHS - Hotels, other sites may house detained immigrants
Tuesday, October 06 @ 16:41:51 EDT by alipac (382 reads) | WASHINGTON — Former hotels, nursing homes and
other sites would be used to hold immigrants who are not criminals or
violent as part of a larger plan to reform immigration detention
proposed by the homeland security secretary, according to documents
obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
Janet Napolitano is proposing that illegal immigrants awaiting
deportation be confined according to the risk they may pose and will
detail her plan on Tuesday. The reforms were previewed by the agency in
August without as much detail.

Task force advises limiting federal immigration arrest program
Friday, October 02 @ 02:55:21 EDT by alipac (403 reads) | A U.S. government task force recommended Wednesday that the federal Department of Homeland Security scale back an initiative that allows local authorities to enforce the country’s immigration law.
The so-called 287(g) program — named after the section of law that created it — should be limited to identifying illegal immigrants in state prisons and county jails and exclude any efforts to track them down outside of criminal investigations, the Southwest Border Task Force said.

UT - DHS ICE refuses to cross-deputize Davis County deputies Law enforcement
Monday, September 21 @ 13:17:57 EDT by Dixie (589 reads) | The Davis County Sheriff's Office was ready to
pitch in and help enforce federal immigration law at its county jail,
detaining undocumented arrestees and beginning the process to deport
them.
No thanks, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau recently said, a response that has incensed Utah politicians.
Last fall, Davis County Sheriff Bud Cox applied for an ICE agreement
that would allow and train 10 deputies to process undocumented
arrestees. In October 2008, the department was inspected for three days
by five ICE inspectors.

Under fire, Napolitano halts border projects for review
Thursday, September 17 @ 02:30:44 EDT by alipac (482 reads) | WASHINGTON — Facing criticism for her handling of federal stimulus money, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she would not start any new border construction projects while the department reviewed how projects were selected.
Napolitano has faced questions since The Associated Press reported last month that Homeland Security officials did not follow their internal priority lists when choosing which border checkpoints would get money for renovations. Under a process that is secretive and susceptible to political influence, officials planned to spend millions at tiny checkpoints, passing over busier, higher-priority projects.

Americans for Limited Government
Patriotic Americans nationwide have descended upon town halls and
Congressional district offices for the past two weeks to express their
displeasure with Barack Obama’s monocratic health care takeover. And
for their efforts, they have been condemned and ridiculed by their own
elected representatives as “un-American,” “political terrorists,”
“uncivilized,” and “Brown Shirts.”
Not to mention, “rightwing extremists”.

ALG Blasts DHS Methodology Used in Rightwing Extremism Memo
Wednesday, August 12 @ 12:47:46 EDT by admin (978 reads) | ALG Blasts DHS Methodology Used in "Rightwing Extremism" Memo Revealed in Freedom of Information Response by Department
August 11th, 2009, Fairfax, VA—Americans for
Limited Government President Bill Wilson today condemned the
methodology used by the Department of Homeland Security in issuing a
controversial “right-wing extremism” threat assessment to law
enforcement in April as “complete speculation.”
“Our worst fears about what went into this memo have been
confirmed. The government department that was supposed to be tasked
with identifying domestic terrorist threats is apparently using news
stories, kooky websites, and conjecture instead of actual hard
intelligence reporting and analysis,” said Wilson.
“This is a disgrace, and calls into question what it is that the
so-called ‘Extremism and Radicalizaton Branch of the Homeland
Environment Threat Analysis Division’ actually does,” Wilson added.
