"Big Sis" betrayed her fellow Arizonans - and all Americans - today by releasing criminal aliens into communities from coast-to-coast

Stand With Arizona
Despite potential budget cuts being 4 days away and Congress and the Administration have been negotiating to avoid them, the Department of Homeland Security has already started releasing hundreds of illegal aliens held in local jails in anticipation of automatic "sequestration" cuts - out of a planned total of more than 10,000 aliens to be released.
Sources tell Stand With Arizona that DHS has "34,000 beds" for illegal aliens, meaning that Secretary Janet Napolitano is releasing nearly 1/3 of all DHS-detained illegal aliens in the United States - despite the fact that no actual cuts have even begun, and despite a record of massive wasteful spending by DHS over the past 3 years.
Napolitano had been warning of potential impact to DHS after impending cuts, but now she has jumped the gun by enacting a "budgetary amnesty" by fiat - releasing thousands of criminal aliens amongst communities and families across the nation.
The New York Times reports that the aliens are being "freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court". But as SWA has reported in the past, many aliens facing deportation or prosecution on immigration holds never show up for those hearings, and remain in the country.
One Arizona Sheriff called the DHS action politically motivated -- and dangerous.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released more than 500 detainees in his county alone over the weekend. ICE officials told Babeu that they plan to release a total of nearly 10,000 illegal aliens.
Babeu described the move as a "mass budget pardon" and suggested the administration was going to unnecessary lengths to demonstrate the impact of the so-called sequester.
"President Obama would never release 500 criminal illegals to the streets of his hometown, yet he has no problem with releasing them in Arizona. The safety of the public is threatened and the rule of law discarded as a political tactic in this sequester battle," he said.An ICE official confirmed the plans without specifying how many illegal aliens might be released.
Spokeswoman Gillian Christensen said ICE had directed field offices to make sure the "detained population" is "in line with available funding." She stressed that ICE would continue to prosecute the cases while keeping them "under supervision".
The announcement comes after DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday warned about the potential impact of the cuts. She said the department "would not be able to maintain the detention beds as required by Congress."
"We're doing our very best to minimize the impacts of sequester. But there's only so much I can do," she said. "I'm supposed to have (thousands of) detention beds for immigration. How do I pay for those?"
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., called the move to release illegal immigrants "abhorrent."
"By releasing criminal immigrants onto the streets, the administration is needlessly endangering American lives," he said in a statement.
In Arizona, Babeu slammed the move, painting his community as a victim of gridlock in Washington.
"Clearly, serious criminals are being released to the streets of our local communities by this mass budget pardon. This is insane that public safety is sacrificed when it should be the budget priority that's safeguarded," he said.
As Arizona, and other states brace for the impact of this disgraceful and lawless action, we call on Sheriffs across America to defy this corrupt DHS Secretary, and detain as many illegal aliens as possible. We know that Sheriff Joe and his deputies are on high alert today as these alien criminals are being set loose in our communities.
Just when you think the shameful pandering and legal anarchy of this Administration can't get any worse, it does...in spades.

Playing politics. Bass turds.
Obama and co. are have a grand time of it.
The threat that we heard at the airport on our way home from Arizona was that they'd furlough half the TSA employees working the security checkpoints. So instead of eight lines of travelers taking their shoes and belts off to get through airport security, there will be four lines ... twice as long.
This illegal alien "catch and release" program by Janet is consistent with the plan to make the sequester hurt voters.
If we had a Congress with half a ball sack we might have a legislative body that would push back on this. But, sadly, all we have is a hall full of eunuchs.
Who is going to do something about it? The people who confirmed Hagel?
The Republicans in Congress are worthless pu$$ies.
Expect nothing from them. Nothing.
“...my home here is my fiefdom and any illegal alien or other bent on doing crime on my property is going to think he landed at Normandy Beach.”
Amen, brother.
“Hell we even have 40 year old Vietnam Vets panhandling on the street corners........”
Hmmm. They must have been infants, or stains on their daddy’s drawers.
Well, maybe...you have to remember under the rules, especially recently it takes a lot just to get an illegal detained to begin with.

This is just plain US government terrorism against the people to scare us into compliance with what Obama wants.
The Vietnam War will be officially over 38 years ago this coming April so pretty sure those guys are not real. ;)

I know. USAF 1970-1974.
I was agreeing with you...Thank you for your service! My hubby loves to pick on those young Vietnam Veterans begging on corners...talk about deer in the headlights when he starts chatting them up about Vietnam.
Heh. You repeated yourself.
It’s not like the president, vp, his cabinet, congressman, or supreme court justice is going to have anyone in their family raped and/or murdered by an illegal, so what’s the problem?
Oh yeah, all those other Americans who can’t afford VIP protection 24/7.
The immediate response of Sheriffs Arpaio, Babeu and others should be to invoke posse comitatus and announce to the public that Napolitano has turned loose this herd of criminals, and that citizens should arm themselves, be sure to secure their vehicles and homes, and that children should be chaperoned when in public until further notice. And that strangers lurking or loitering in their neighborhood should be reported to the police or Sheriff’s office as soon as possible.
It is time for the states and the people to start dealing with this invasion the way it should have been dealt with from the beginning. This treason cannot be tolerated any longer. If the feds don’t have the money to keep these invaders incarcerated, then they don’t have the money to stop the American people from defending ourselves from these vermin and their protectors.
They aren’t cowards. They support this invasion like their Democrat cousins.
