    ICE director signals shift in deportation policy

    ICE director signals shift in deportation policy

    By ELLIOT SPAGAT, Associated Press
    Thursday, June 16, 2011

    The head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday that he wanted to give field attorneys more latitude to decide which immigrants to target for deportation.

    Agency Director John Morton said he was seriously considering an order that would give ICE lawyers more independence and more discretion "not to assert the scope of the agency's authority in each and every case." It would extend to the Customs and Border Protection agency, which arrests hundreds of thousands of people each year along the U.S.-Mexico border.

    He didn't elaborate and declined to answer questions after his remarks to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, leaving some uncertainty about how much impact his edict would have on the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. Still, his comments drew strong applause from the attorneys, who have complained that government lawyers are often straightjacketed in deciding which cases to pursue in immigration court.

    Eleanor Pelta, the lawyer association's new president, said the order may give ICE field attorneys authority to avoid going after immigrants who have no criminal records, those who have families in the country and others who "are just really not an enforcement and removal priority."

    "(The field attorneys) don't have to ask anybody higher up," Pelta said. "They can just make that decision. That's how I read it."

    Cheryl David, a New York attorney, said Morton's words were encouraging in the absence of a broad overhaul of immigration laws.

    "I think he's saying if we're not going to have comprehensive immigration reform and we are going to continue to detain people, we can exercise prosecutorial discretion," she said.

    Julie Myers, who headed ICE in the administration of President George W. Bush, said the impact hinges on the precise guidance that Morton gives in his directive.

    "There are some cases that should have never been in the courts," said Myers, who is now president of ICS Consulting LLC in Washington. "The question is, `Where's the line and where's the reasonable line?"

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    You cannot dedicate yourself to America unless you become in every
    respect and with every purpose of your will thoroughly Americans. You
    cannot become thoroughly Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. President Woodrow Wilson

    If your going to enforce the law you cannot do it half way. One reason we are in the situation we are in is because of inconsistancy. We need to be tough, enforce the existing laws and keep on doing it with no letup.

    Seeing as he was speaking to Immigration Attorneys their spin is probably the correct one; but I was hoping it would free agents to go after each and every illegal they ran into!

    This sounds like each attorney gets to make up their own rules.
    Which means that if you give them enough money they can decide in your favor.

    ICE Is refusing to enforce the law as set by Congress. They cannot pick and chose what laws to enforce. This Is just another example of how our Republic Is being destroyed by left wing liberal policies that reflect their complete lack of respect for American citizens rights within OUR OWN COUNTRY. This nonsense has to stop. Every Demorat that adheres to this open border agenda needs to be voted out of office sooner rather than later. Our country Is In danger of economic collapse as a direct result of RAMPANT and UNCONTROLLED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION over the past two decades This Is outright AMNESTY... PERIOD !!!!!

    It's not just the democrats. Remember that McCain, Palin, Bush etc. also supported amnesty for illegal aliens. Read this article.

    REPUBLICANS TO PUSH AMNESTY (Just like Obama)

    Morton is one of the most corrupt pieces of work in that corrupt organization, having refused to carry out his so called job in the past (he must be on the drug cartel payroll). He and his boss, that utterly worthless excuse for a DHS head Napolitano's primary agenda has always been open borders and amnesty for all illegal aliens including murderers, identity thieves, child molesters, rapists and other criminals as directed by the puppet Obama and his manipulator George Soros. If they can't obtain amnesty one way they will try via another backdoor way, and the safety, security and will of the American people forced to pay for their health care, welfare, wic, food stamps, education and other benefits be damned......
    There is no freedom without the law. Remember our veterans whose sacrifices allow us to live in freedom.
