    Department of Homeland Security Protects Privacy of Illegals

    DHS Protects Privacy of Illegals

    The Department of Homeland Security is muzzling local law enforcement agencies regarding their efforts to enforce federal immigration laws in order to protect the "privacy" of illegal aliens.

    Any information about local police enforcement actions must now be cleared through the DHS's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division before it can be released to the media or the public.

    Kelly Nantel, press secretary for ICE, told CNSNews that although illegal aliens are not protected under the Privacy Act of 1974, the DHS's policy is to extend the privacy protection to individuals who are in the U.S. illegally.

    "The Privacy Act and the private policy provide protections for U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents and, in the case of the privacy policy, illegal aliens," Nantel said.

    "Any information regarding individuals encountered through the enforcement of federal law is ultimately protected."

    Agreements between the DHS and local law enforcement agencies guide the 287(g) program, created in 2003 to train and certify state and local law enforcement personnel to enforce immigration law.

    In July, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said those agreements would be "standardized" and reviewed, and in August she said the agreements had been "rewritten and reprioritized to focus on using them in jails and prisons."

    DHS and ICE officials say enforcement of federal immigration law will focus on "criminal aliens" and not on individuals who are simply in the U.S. illegally.

    CNSNews observed: "Reporters or members of the public who want information arising from a local law enforcement agency's efforts to enforce immigration law will be forced to file a Freedom of Information Act request to gain access to information that is not classified and which the public is entitled to see."

    This is insane. Next thing you know sex offenders will also start screaming for privacy rights -- no more putting pics out into the public. Then the FBI's most-wanted posters will begin to disappear from post offices, as we cannot invade their privacy and be politically correct.
    It is time to take a close look at who in the Senate voted to confirm her and make sure they never get re-elected, even for dog catcher.

    This administration is going to do all it can to make illegal aliens look like upstanding citizens so we won't have that argument against them getting amnesty. The way to do that is to shut the public up so their crimes won't be reported in the newspapers, the only avenue we had left to find out about these crimes. Reporters are not going to jump through hoops to file a Freedom of Information Act request because by the time they get the info, the story will be cold. They just won't bother with it. Now an illegal alien sexual pervert could be living right next door to you and your children, and you won't even know if he's in this country illegally because he's protected under this new "rule".

    And if you notice, the article basically says, "We know they are not covered by the 1974 Privacy Act but we're going to do it anyway." So much for having laws and rights for Americans in this country.

    This latest action by the DHS puts American lives at risks to protect the skin of illegal alien criminals. This protection of these illegal aliens has now reached the ultimate.
