ICE DIRECTOR FOLLOWING ORDER OF DER FUHRER

ICE CHIEF: AZ IMMIGRATION PROGRAM ‘NOT A GOOD USE’ OF TAX DOLLARS
 

CNSNews.com reports Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton announced Tuesday that the Obama administration’s recent decision to terminate its standing immigration-law enforcement agreements with Arizona was because the programs had not been “a good use of taxpayer sources” when asked about the political timing of the suspension.  

Morton would have us believe that the termination of the 287(g) program partnering ICE  and state and local law enforcement forces to enforce immigration laws had nothing to do with the Supreme Court’s June 25 ruling upholding Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law even though the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suspended its cooperation with hours of the decision!

House Homeland Security subcommittee on border and maritime security, vice-chairman Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.)questioned Morton:

“The timing is extraordinarily curious,” he noted. “If the task force were not actually operating in the manner that you would have liked or the DHS would have liked, wouldn’t it have been a little bit sooner or maybe even a little bit later? But within hours of the Supreme Court ruling – that’s a very interesting timeline.”

Quayle also asked Morton why the administration appeared to be selective in taking legal action when it came to immigration law enforcement, citing the case of Cook County in Illinois where Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced his plan to prevent law enforcement from reporting illegal immigrants even if jailed in misdemeanor and felony cases.
