DHS blames tech glitch for violating judge’s amnesty injunction

The Obama administration blamed a technology glitch for why it continued to approve new amnesty applications in February, even after a federal judge issued an injunction, telling the court late Friday that they are now begging about 2,000 illegal immigrants to tear up their three-year work authorizations.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Homeland Security agency that approved the deportation amnesty applications for Dreamers despite the judge’s order, insisted it’s corrected the immigrants’ records at headquarters, but said it’s also asking the immigrants themselves to send back their three-year documents and accept two-year papers instead.

The agency also told Judge Andrew S. Hanen that more botched cases could still be found as employees dig through tens of thousands of applications.

President Obama’s lawyers are desperately trying to head off punishment by Judge Hanen after several embarrassing missteps.

First, the lawyers misled the court as to more than 100,000 three-year amnesty applications that were approved between Nov. 20 and Feb. 16, when Judge Hanen issued his injunction. The lawyers said they didn’t intend to mislead, and they assumed the judge knew those applications were being approved.

Then the Homeland Security Department announced it had approved the 2,000 or so three-year applications even after the injunction — a clear violation of the judge’s order, and raising questions about the lawyers’ excuses for the first 100,000 botched applications.

These idiots can scream it's a tech failure all they want but that's a lie. Everyone in the Executive branch from 0bama right on down knew about judge Hanen's order immediately, it went off like and atom bomb in the media and the government.

The dog ate my hard drive.

DHS has the same budget dollars as the USMC.

I feel cheated.

[Menehune56]

Can the judge revoke all of the illegally granted amnesties? That seems like the only fitting punishment.

[logi_cal869]

Wow. I know 8 y/o that could have come up with that one quicker than that...

“Tech Failure”

Hmmm... is that like Lois Lerner’s hard drive crashing?

Hmmm... is that like Killary wiping clean her private server with thousands of potentially embarrassing emails?

Hmmm.

[jazusamo]

Yep, “tech failure” is getting to be an all encompassing excuse. Isn’t it amazing how inefficient the computer age is as compared to the horse and buggy days.

[txhurl]

This is only going to make the Judge madder.

[bert]

Jail the glitchers..... now , no bail.

[I want the USA back]

They call screwups by their staff a glitch, hoping that a brain-dead public will be blinded by the reference to technology and believe the lie.

[spokeshave]

...and those 500,000 social security numbers recently allocated to illegals....
