Underground immigration rumbles with no-confidence vote in ICE leaders

When the US Government acts to undermine federal law, it can take awhile for information to surface. After some media ran stories about Immigration and Customs officials’ intent to ‘make detention centers more humane,’ a new story is making the rounds. Officers and agents have issued a ‘no confidence’ vote in assistant secretary of Homeland Security for ICE John Morton and Office of Detention Policy and Planning assistant director Phyllis Coven.

Janice Kephart at the nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies wrote, “In an unprecedented move within the Department of Homeland Security, the detention and removal officers and agents responsible for and sworn to enforcing our nation's immigration laws issued an exhaustive, scathing letter simply titled "'VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN ICE DIRECTOR JOHN MORTON AND ODPP ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PHYLLIS COVEN' on June 11, 2010.”

Think this is the reason the system is doing a LITTLE of something with the border? My heart goes out for the folks in AZ,

WE see a lot of drug running across the state on I-10, illegals with car loads of drugs. Being a former drug enforcement officer I keep up with those things, and only a small amount is actually intercepted. I know of one runner who told the deputies that please send him to prison cause he would be killed if he went back to Az..no honor among those folks....none.

Thanks for posting this.
WE need to keep getting this letter out there, maybe force the networks to report on it

What the F good does it do though to catch the legals if we are going to release them pending deportation.

The POS illegal who killed the nun was released. As was the POS in Washington who raped and killed an innocent girl even though he’d been arrested before

From article :

...The letter from the American Federation of Government Employees came after ICE issued new requirements in May for detention centers, part of Morton’s new approach to treatment of detainees. Among those requirements:

.... • Soften the look for the facility with hanging plants, flower baskets, new paint colors, different bedding and furniture, wall graphics and framed pictures on the walls, and enhance the aesthetics of the living areas.

• Expand programming for detainees to include movie nights, bingo, arts and crafts, dance, walk and exercise classes, health and welfare classes, basic cooking classes, tutoring and self-paced computer training on portable computer stations.

• Provide celebrations of special occasions and allowing a detainee to receive outside, packaged food for celebrations. • Offer continental breakfasts that are completely self serve on holidays and weekends.

Email and free phone service are also included.

In essence, the federal government is creating a welfare state on the US border.

Back in ‘95/96 I was foreman on a US District Grand Jury. Several times on days after some big Clinton speech or news of another lie, we - the jury and the person testifying - couldn’t resist a laugh when I swore someone in. It was laugh or cry, because that man, Mr. Clinton, had defiled his office and the act of taking the oath to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
