Judge Andrew Hanen has given Jeh Johnson and the Department of Homeland Security until the end of this month to recapture all of the illegally distributed “amnesty and work authorization” permits the DHS allowed during the time they ignored the judges’ order.
“The government has conceded that it has directly violated this court’s order in its May 7, 2015 advisory, yet, as of today, two months have passed since the advisory and it has not remediated its own violative behavior,” the judge wrote. “That is unacceptable and, as far as the Government’s attorneys are concerned, completely unprofessional.”
[Hanen] set an Aug. 19 hearing, and said unless the government can fix things by July 31, each of the defendants named in the case — Mr. Johnson and his top lieutenants in the immigration agencies — would have to appear to explain themselves.
“Otherwise, the Court intends to utilize all available powers to compel compliance,” Judge Hanen wrote. (link)
DHS is now facing a challenging task of remediating the approvals and work authorizations previously granted.
After two months of unsuccessful requests for the illegal alien community to voluntarily return the paperwork, DHS is now forced to go door-to-door to recapture the authorizations they illegally distributed.
The Washington Times has more – Goosed into action by an angry federal judge, federal immigration authorities will go door-to-door demanding illegal immigrants return the three-year amnesty approvals the Obama administration issued to them in defiance of a court order.
Those who don’t return their three-year permits will have them terminated at the end of this month, the National Immigrant Justice Center, one of the advocacy groups briefed on authorities’ plan, said in a statement preparing immigrants for what could be a traumatic encounter.
The move comes as Homeland Security officials, fed up with slow-walking by illegal immigrants, are finally playing hardball after months of less forceful measures.
They’re scrambling to meet an end-of-month deadline set by Judge Andrew S. Hanen for recapturing thousands of three-year amnesties the department issued even after the court had entered an injunction halting the new amnesty program.
Unless all of the permits are recovered, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson could personally have to appear in court to explain the foul-up, Judge Hanen said in an order earlier this month.
[…] In a document filed late last week, the administration said it had recaptured fewer than 1,200 of the initial 2,100 wrongful amnesties. And, in a stunning admission, lawyers said they’d discovered another 500 amnesties they hadn’t known about before that also were sent after the Feb. 16 injunction. (read more)

JAIL TIME for them ALL! AND deportation for the illegals!
Shocking! (A judge that actually wants to enforce the law, that is)
The judge needs to hold them in contempt of court and make them spend a couple of months in jail.

It’s most refreshing to see a federal judge that will stand up to this 0bama administration, I applaud him for his honesty and tenacity.
This has been going on for months and he hasn’t caved, we need many more like him.
Even white liberals have to testify under oath about their and other's wrongdoing. But a black liberal? Government shuts down if Obama is called. Race war if Obama is called. A million-MSM-employees march to protest if Obama is called?
Judge Hanen is the one who is fed up, not DHS officials. The slow-walking was done by the DHS, not illegal immigrants.
Or are the gruberment collecting minions volunteering their time, and forswearing their per diem & mileage?
Sounds like this judge just might be the one to do it.
I agree, Judge Hanen appears determined to see this through. I admire the man, given what he’s up against.
Sorry. I don’t believe it. That is the BIGGEST crock to come along in decades. Door to door? What doors? What cities? Anyone have an idea how many doors those roaches could be hiding behind?
Obama knew that once he let those roaches in, turned them loose and let them scatter, only God could find them again. If Obama and Johnson don’t go to prison I’ll know Judge Hanen was playing rope-a-dope right along with them.
Don’t hold your breath.
Some were originally approved for 2 years under DACA and they still have time under those 2 years but the judge ordered no extensions to 3 years but the 2 year DACA dates could remain.
Judge Hanen should be first in line for a USSC seat when ......will we ever get the chance? It’s getting very discouraging.
“I agree, Judge Hanen appears determined to see this through. I admire the man, given what he’s up against.”
And if they tell him to go piss up a rope, what will happen? This administration is lawless. They need to be treated like Presidents for life.
