Homeland Security will begin releasing more illegal immigrant families from detention, Secretary Jeh Johnson announced Wednesday as he bowed to political pressure from activists and members of Congress who’d called the conditions inhumane for families.
Despite offering amenities for the illegal immigrants ranging from flat-screen televisions in every suite, classrooms and ball fields at their disposal and 24-hour access to snacks and sodas, Mr. Johnson said he’s concluded things are still too harsh.
He said illegal immigrant parents and children who claim they fear for their lives back home will now have the chance to post a “reasonable and realistic” bond that will earn them the right to be released into the U.S., with the hope that they eventually return for their deportation hearings.
“In substance — the detention of families will be short-term in most cases,” he said in a statement announcing the changes.
It’s a major reversal for Mr. Johnson, who just a year ago pointed to detaining families as one of the key steps he was taking to push back against the surge of illegal immigrant children and families from Central America.

Harsh conditions...yeah, so?
Don’t worry sweetheart, anything goes now.
How can you trust a guy named Jeh?
“”Homeland Security” my a$$ - can’t come up with any good reasons as to why we pay those bums good tax money.”
Because they’ll put us in jail if we don’t?
This Jeh Johnson needs to go. These AA jerks always seem to reveal just how stupid they really are.
I always feel so incomplete saying that name. It's as if I started saying something, but
You've just uncovered the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment.
WTF ARE THEY DOING HERE IN THE FORST PLACE...
send them back same day they are caught
and send the bill to Mexico...
Jeh Johnson is possibly the most incompetent major agency leader in modern American history, and he is up against Janet Napolitano, Koskinen at IRS, Lisa Jackson and Gina McCarthy at EPA, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Gen. Dempsey, Secy of Navy Mabus, Biden, Obama, Cuomo, Salazar, and Kathleen Sebelius.
Maybe we cannot pick just one “worst” so let’s create a new prize for the most incompetent American official since 1992, and make it a “living, increasing” prize. We can add on more Obamites are their incompetencies are uncovered.
By the end of the year, this prize should have at least 100 names on it, with Obama and Jeh and Janet and Dempsey at the top.
