EXCLUSIVE: CATCH AND RELEASE 2.0 — LEAKS HIGHLIGHT TEARDOWN OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
Breitbart ^ | January 12, 2015 | By BRANDON DARBY

Posted on 01/12/2015 9:11:52 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Leaked internal training documents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveal Border Patrol agents are now receiving guidelines instructing them that the vast majority of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are off limits to federal agents and are substantially immune to detention and deportation. A trusted federal agent in the CBP provided exclusive copies of the documents to Breitbart Texas and also agreed to an interview on the condition of anonymity.

According to the source, these training documents were required training for U.S. Border Patrol agents and each agent was required to sign their name to confirm receiving the training.

The documents outline three categories that illegal immigrants are now grouped into: Priority one, two, and three. Priority one includes aliens who “pose a threat to national security, border security, or public safety.” Priority two includes aliens who are “misdemeanants and new immigration violators.” Priority three includes all other illegal aliens and describes them as “other immigration violators.”

The leaked training documents are careful to note that no part of this training should be construed as discouraging arrests, but the entirety of the training appears to do exactly that. The training materials, when coupled with a November 20, 2014 memo on prosecutorial discretion from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, indicate that agents should primarily only arrest someone who they directly see cross the border, if they are a wanted criminal, a convicted felon, have an extensive or a violent criminal history, or otherwise pose a national security or public safety threat.

The majority of other illegal aliens cannot be detained or deported without specific approval from leadership.

IOW, wait until they've committed a felony before deportation becomes a viable enforcement tool.

And yet when s bunch of us wanted a fence and said that it would nullify Democrats from playing non enforcement games like this, Many a ‘staunch rock ribbed conservative’ stood up proudly and on the same side as Barry and LaRaza to fight against it.

The enemy is within.

The fence in San Diego works great, which is why the Establishment Republicans refused to push it at all.

Yea we tried pointing that out. It got LaRaza posts ‘proving’ that was all a lie. I never realized that we had LaRaza apologists here until they began posting their website ‘facts’ and others ran to defend them as ‘good conservayives’. But we do.

Just remember, a good number of Republicans have had meetings with LaRaza. McCain, Cornyn, Graham, Flake and others. So dis former POTUS Jorge Bush. So has Jeb, but I count him as a Mexican, anyway

Oh I remember. And it’s why their handmaidens are spread out across the web incrementalizing away resistance to their liberalism one web post at a time. To prop them and their leftism up.

These son of a bitches in Washington are out to ruin this nation.

Handwriting is on the wall and could not be clearer.

It is not about winning elections, Obama wants to DESTROY this nation from within. Let anyone in.

Time for me to get back down there and for my buds and me to change our ROEs. Let ‘em stop us.

FUW and FUBO

So if and when they climb over your fence into your yard, what can you do?
