    Obama Administration caught lying about release of criminal illegal aliens

    Video at the page link:

    Here’s a dog-bites-man story if I ever heard one: the Obama Administration once again caught lying through its teeth to the American people. In other news, the sun rose this morning.
    In this case, it’s about illegal immigrants, a subject upon which it is extremely difficult to find a single instance of the Administration telling the truth. Citizenship is being stolen from you, my fellow Americans, and the thieves’ contempt for you is so complete that they don’t feel obliged to give straight answers to any questions… not even when the truth is printed on documents that are bound to come to light eventually, not even when their actions put our lives at risk.

    What USA Today is reporting about the release of violent alien criminals from detention centers should be the biggest story in the land, something every White House official, amnesty shill, and Democrat candidate should be grilled about until they have to cough their answers through lungs full of warm sweat. Of course, even when this story looked marginally less hideous than it turned out to be, it wasn’t as big of a story as it should have been. The media doesn’t like to dwell on stories that make people think about illegal immigration in a bad way. They want you to think nothing but fresh-faced “dreamers” who can’t wait to earn college degrees and pay big bucks in American taxes are coming over the border, and only a xenophobe would quibble about immigration laws – which are, like the Pirate Code from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” more like a set of guidelines than actual “laws.” Since we don’t have a functioning border security apparatus (which must, by definition, include the enforcement of immigration laws against intruders who make it across the border) we don’t have any way to tell the “dreamers” apart from the less appealing illegals. That’s what a working immigration system does.
    The system we actually have is a decrepit pile of largely ignored laws, over-ridden by crass politics – Democrats really want that new imported voter base, some Republican interests really want that cheap labor – and the sort of blind ideology that treats border security as an obsession of racist cranks. (It’s not surprising that people who think very little of American citizenship don’t see any reason to get worked up when it’s stolen.) We also have a government so confused and foolish that it can’t handle jobs the Ruling Class actually cares about, never mind laws they despise, duties that take money away from projects they prefer and cost them political capital with voting blocs they’re trying to woo. Behold the fusion of arrogance, disdain, and ineptitude, as the Administration’s eagerness to punish the American people for “budget cuts” led it to release murderers and rapists:
    New records contradict the Obama administration’s assurances to Congress and the public that the 2,200 people it freed from immigration jails last year to save money had only minor criminal records.
    The records, obtained by USA TODAY, show immigration officials released some undocumented immigrants who had faced far more serious criminal charges, including people charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, drug trafficking and homicide.
    The release sparked a furor in Congress. Republican lawmakers accused the Obama administration of setting dangerous criminals free. In response, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it had released “low-risk offenders who do not have serious criminal records,” a claim the administration repeated to the public and to members of Congress.
    The new records, including spreadsheets and hundreds of pages of e-mails, offer the most detailed information yet about the people ICE freed as it prepared for steep, across-the-government spending cuts in February 2013. They show that although two-thirds of the people who were freed had no criminal records, several had been arrested or convicted on charges more severe than the administration had disclosed.
    ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen acknowledged the discrepancy. She said “discretionary releases made by ICE were of low-level offenders. However, the releases involving individuals with more significant criminal histories were, by and large, dictated by special circumstances outside of the agency’s control.”
    “Circumstances outside of the agency’s control?” That’s classic Ineptocracy-speak. Some of the thugs they released must have been looking at each other in bewilderment as they were pushed out onto the street. Something tells me their general level of respect for U.S. law has not been enhanced by this experience.
    Lawmakers expressed concern. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said it is “deeply troubling that ICE would knowingly release thousands of undocumented immigrant detainees – many with prior criminal records – into our streets, while publicly downplaying the danger they posed.”
    Immigration authorities detain an average of about 34,000 people a day. Although the agency regularly releases immigrants who have been charged with serious crimes, it typically does so because their legal status has changed or because they cannot be deported — not as a way to save money. That distinction, combined with the fact that last year’s release happened abruptly and with no advance notice, fed the partisan firestorm that followed.
    ICE pays an average of $122 a day for each immigrant it keeps in detention.
    The detainees were awaiting deportation or hearings in immigration court. The release did not stop those proceedings; instead, most were released with electronic monitors or other forms of supervision.
    “Deeply troubling?” I guess that’s one way to put it, Senator. USA Today is right about the “partisan firestorm,” but the American people need to ask themselves some very hard questions about why something like this would be a partisan issue. Democrats don’t care if violent criminals are released “abruptly and with no advance notice,” with nothing but “electronic monitors or other forms of supervision” standing between them and their next victims while they kill time waiting for deportation hearings? Are you cool with that, Democrat voters? Are you interested in knowing how those deportation hearings are going, whether the released detainees have committed any further offenses since they were sent on their merry way, and what the “other forms of supervision” beyond electronic monitors might be?
    ICE and the White House didn’t just lie to the American people about this. They lied to Congress, too:
    In hearings last year, Republican lawmakers pressed then-ICE Director John Morton for specifics on the criminal records of the people the agency had freed. At one, Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-Va., asked Morton directly, “No one on that list has been charged or convicted with murder, rape or sexual abuse of a minor, were they?”
    Morton answered, “They were not.”
    He told lawmakers that, to his knowledge, none had faced child pornography charges.
    White House spokesman Jay Carney similarly described them as “low-risk, non-criminal detainees.”
    They still aren’t coming clean voluntarily. We’re only hearing this story now because USA Today used the Freedom of Information Act to pry a spreadsheet of the detainees and their offenses from the white-knuckled grip of the Administration. Among the charming entries was “one person in Texas charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexually assaulting a child.” The agency still refuses to actually identify these people, mind you, which tells you a lot about how closely they’re being “monitored.” We have to think about their privacy, you understand. Kind of the opposite of the way they thought about U.S. immigration law before they strolled across the border.
    USA Today mentions that 144 more detainees were released due to “special issues,” which usually means the government doesn’t think it can complete deportation proceedings within six months, and that’s the longest the Supreme Court has ruled people can be held for violating immigration law. Therefore, all that is necessary to administratively disable immigration law, without passing any legislation, is to gum up the works until deportation procedures take more than six months. Too bad there’s no ruling that said the IRS can’t hassle conservative groups for more than six months without giving them a firm answer on tax exemptions, eh?
    Of course, everyone involved insists they weren’t deliberately lying about the release of potentially dangerous individuals to cover their butts. No, no, this is all just sheer incompetence by our mega-government, not mendacity:
    The former head of ICE’s detention operation, Gary Mead, said that if officials provided incorrect information to the public, they did not do so deliberately. Rather, he said, the release happened so quickly that ICE managers in Washington did not know precisely who had been released until after the episode had been reported by the news media.
    “We had been asking for some time whether we would have enough money to sustain the level of detention we had, and we didn’t get an answer,” Mead said. “When we did get an answer, it was that we had to start releasing people today.”
    Really? Then where did the spreadsheet USA Today obtained come from? Have we got a list of the officials responsible for this, and the disciplinary actions taken against them? They’ve all been fired for gross negligence, right?
    Here’s my idea for “comprehensive immigration reform”: a system where the default response is not, “We give up, enforcing the law is too hard, off you go!” Every element of the existing system leading to that state of affairs needs to be overhauled or scrapped. No set of conditions should ever lead to dangerous folly like this.
    The same utterly incompetent Administration has been quietly ordering bids for contractors who can handle “a ‘surge’ scenario of 9 million ID cards in one year ‘to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements,’” according to Breitbart News. In other words, they’re getting ready for Obama to hand out amnesty to millions of illegal aliens by executive order. No doubt that will all be handled with the same careful attention to detail as the release of detainees was. I’m equally confident we’ll be kept fully up to speed by The Most Transparent Administration in History on any problems that crop up, once the midterm elections are past, and Democrats get busy doing all the things they didn’t want voters to know about when it was still possible to vote against them.

    'Bamacrats are selling out Americans, to get the votes of all those Undocumented Democrats. Some Repubs are selling out Americans, to give their big money donors the surplus labor that will keep wages down.

    The only real cure for the problem of illegal aliens undercutting Americans and making a mockery of our immigration laws is to enact Universal E-Verify. That will eliminate the jobs lure which is responsible for most illegal aliens sneaking in here.

    Obama Administration Lied About Crimes Committed by Released Illegal Immigrants

    by William Bigelow 23 Oct 2014, 5:42 AM PDT
    breitbart

    The Obama Administration lied last year when they informed Congress and the public that the 2,200 people that the Administration released from incarceration to save money had only minor criminal records.

    USA TODAY, gaining the data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through the Freedom of information Act, reports that some of the illegal immigrants had been charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, drug trafficking, and homicide.

    GOP members were furious when the data was released. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had told Congress that the inmates who were released were “low-risk offenders who do not have serious criminal records.” Records reveal that ICE was readying itself for budget cuts in February 2013 when it released the immigrants, only two-thirds of whom had no criminal records.

    After the new information was released, ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen protested, "Discretionary releases made by ICE were of low-level offenders. However, the releases involving individuals with more significant criminal histories were, by and large, dictated by special circumstances outside of the agency's control."

    Sen. John McCain, R-AZ., weighed in that it was "deeply troubling that ICE would knowingly release thousands of undocumented immigrant detainees – many with prior criminal records – into our streets, while publicly downplaying the danger they posed."

    Normally, ICE releases immigrants with serious criminal records only if their legal status has changed or if they cannot be deported. Every illegal immigrant held in jail costs ICE an average of $122 a day. Last year, GOP members asked ICE Director John Morton for specifics about the immigrants the agency had released. Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-VA, asked Morton, "No one on that list has been charged or convicted with murder, rape or sexual abuse of a minor, were they?" Morton responded, "They were not." He added that none of the released immigrants had been charged with child pornography charges. White House spokesman Jay Carney echoed that the prisoners who were released were "low-risk, non-criminal detainees."

    Yet an ICE spreadsheet reveals one immigrant from Texas had been charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexually assaulting a child, and others had charges including armed assaults or assaulting police officers. One immigrant had been charged with conspiracy to commit homicide. Two more had charges of aggravated assault using a weapon, amd another had been charged with sexual assault.

    ICE will not confirm whether the charges resulted in convictions.

    Morton had informed Congress that of the over 2,200 immigrants ICE released, 629 had criminal records, all of them misdemeanors "or other criminals whose prior conviction did not pose a violent threat to public safety."

    Of course, Morton did not mention the 144 other released immigrants who were filed under "special issues." They were largely released because ICE had six months to jail them legally if the agency could not deport them.

    Homeland Security’s inspector general went to great lengths to ensure the Administration would escape culpability, writing in August that ICE was so hurried from the budget cuts that neither the White House or then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano knew what was going on. The report went further than that, insisting that ICE officials acted "appropriately."

    Gary Mead, who headed ICE's detention operation, claimed that if the wrong data had been fed to Congress or the public, it was just a mistake. He added, "We had been asking for some time whether we would have enough money to sustain the level of detention we had, and we didn't get an answer. When we did get an answer, it was that we had to start releasing people today."

    Obama Administration Lied about the Criminal Records of Released Illegal Immigrants Last Year, and the News Gets Worse

    By Kara Pendleton (20 hours ago) | Culture, Legal, Politics



    USA Today has obtained records contradicting claims made last year by the Obama administration regarding the release of illegal immigrants from jails across the country.
    According to U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) officials, the 2,200 detainees, who were released to cut costs, had only minor criminal records.
    “The detainees who’ve been released can be characterized as non-criminals and other low-risk offenders who do not have serious criminal histories.”
    However, the USA Today report discovered that some of these ‘non-criminals’ had been charged with crimes including much more serious offenses such as kidnapping, sexual assault and homicide.
    ICE spokeswoman, Gillian Christensen, responded to the report:
    “[D]iscretionary releases made by ICE were of low-level offenders. However, the releases involving individuals with more significant criminal histories were, by and large, dictated by special circumstances outside of the agency’s control.”
    The Center for Immigration Studies contends, in an October 2014 report, that the release of criminal illegal immigrants is part of a larger, more troubling pattern.
    As evidence of its point, the Center compiled the following table analyzing the criminal convictions of the 36,000+ illegal immigrants released by ICE in 2013 alone.
    The data is quite disturbing:




    Why are so many criminal aliens being released? In part, because the law requires it.
    Typically, illegal immigrants can only be held for up to six months. If they are not deported at that time, they must be released back into the United States.
    While being processed for deportation, illegal immigrants can generally be held in detention in the United States for only six months when not serving jail time for a crime. The six-month limitation is due to two Supreme Court cases in 2001 and 2005. After six-months, nearly all illegal immigrants, including convicted criminals who may have served time for their crimes, must be released onto the streets of America.
    Perhaps the talk about immigration reform should begin with reforming this law that allows for the release of foreign criminals onto our streets.

    VIDEO: AZ Sheriff Paul Babeu says Obama ‘knowingly lied’ about releasing criminal illegals

    26 Oct, 2014 by Rachel Alexander



    Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu told Neil Cavuto on Fox News’ Your World last week that Obama originally told him the 2,228 criminal illegal immigrants his administration released had only minor criminal records. Now we’re finding out that wasn’t true at all.
    The Gateway Pundit reported Babeu’s statements,
    …2013, when we broke this story because they had released hundreds right in my county in Arizona and when I brought this out because of five courageous whistleblowers within ICE they said I was lying.
    It went all the way up to the White House and they knowingly lied. It wasn’t me it was them. And there was 2,228 released in California, Arizona, Texas and Georgia. And the most troubling part of this story is now that this has been exposed that this administration knowingly lied releasing people like, my county, two that were charged with manslaughter, child molestation, aggravated assault against police officers, armed robbery. The worst thing is we still don’t know their names, where they were released to at this very moment.
    This is extremely troubling, because those violent felons could be endangering the lives of other innocent Americans. A large percentage of felons go on to commit more violent crimes. Obama’s actions in the name of political correctness – allowing illegal immigrants to brazenly break the law without any ramifications – are now delving into dangerous territory. Obama claims it is because the federal government doesn’t have the resources to hold and prosecute the felons – yet he has plenty of resources to prosecute conservatives like Dinesh D’Souza for a couple of minor campaign contributions. Watch the interview below.

    Wow... I was shocked to see my county listed here.
    Did Obama dump illegals in your area?




    BREAKING: Powerful Senator Exposes the ZIP Codes of Where the Criminal Illegals Were Released
    Senator Chuck Grassley has released a list he obtained of the zip codes where criminal aliens are being placed in our communities.

    BREAKING: Powerful Senator Exposes the ZIP Codes of Where the Criminal Illegals Were Released

    Since the federal government announced its plan to place illegal immigrants in communities all across the United States weeks ago, Americans have been furious. It’s all part of President Obama’s plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
    It’s frustrating enough to hear that these immigrants are being placed all over the U.S. and supported by our government, but it’s even more upsetting when they’re being dumped in your town.
    Click here to get a FREE subscription to the Conservative Tribune.

    Residents have been fighting back against this plan, doing whatever they can to stand up for their own rights and the rights of their children.
    And Obama knows we don’t want our towns overrun. He knows people are angry, and that’s why he has been hiding the locations of where he’s putting these people. And it’s not just the thousands of illegal children that have crossed our southern border – there are a large amount of illegal immigrants with criminal histories that have been detained by our government, known as criminal aliens.
    And President Obama has decided to place them in our communities too. That’s why when Senator Chuck Grassley, ranking member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, got a hold of a list of the locations where the illegal immigrants are being placed, he released it to the public.

    The Department of Homeland Security released a list of 134 zip codes across the United States where illegal immigrants with criminal records have been placed.

    Here are a list of the zip codes:
    Grass Ley Letter

    The letter is a response to Senator Grassley’s inquiry regarding the immigrants, and claims that the Department does have the right to release these immigrants as a result of a Supreme Court ruling. The letter also includes a list of detention facilities – organized by state – where criminal aliens have been placed. Check the list to see if there are any in your community.
    We are extremely grateful to Senator Grassley for releasing this list to the public. It’s a matter of public safety and security, and we have the right to know when criminal aliens are being placed in our own communities. We encourage you to closely read this letter and determine if you will personally be affected by the placement of these criminal aliens.
    Even if you do not find your zip code listed, it is important to remember what has happened here – our government has taken over the support of a large number of illegal immigrants with criminal records. This should not be allowed to happen.
    Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter so that we can spread the word of the locations of these criminal aliens.
