President Obama warned workers at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: implement executive amnesty, or else. He made the comments in a town hall event on immigration on MSNBC.
According to the White House pool report, President Obama was asked for reassurance that people wouldn't be deported as the legal battle over the executive amnesty plays out in the courts.
“Until we pass a law through Congress, the executive actions we’ve taken are not going to be permanent; they are temporary. There are going to be some jurisdictions and there may be individual ICE official or Border Control agent not paying attention to our new directives. But they’re going to be answerable to the head of Homeland Security because he’s been very clear about what our priorities will be,” Obama said, according to a partial transcript provided by the pool reporter.
“Not only are we going to have to win this legal fight.. but ultimately we’re still going to pass a law through Congress. The bottom line is I’m using all the legal power invested in me in order to solve this problem.”
“If somebody’s working for ICE … and they don’t follow the policy, there’s going to be consequences to it.”

Unless you're Obama, of course.
Whether permanent or temporary - it is ILLEGAL!
Obama threatening those who will not commit crimes for him...
Obama needs to be arrested.
What would happen if ICE officials simply refused?
And they should.
Rome had Brutus.
Where’s ours?
Coming down to it. We are ALL the woman in the flower shop.
Sounds like the orders given to the commanders of the Nazi death camps, as came out during the Nuremberg trials.
the man is fearful....... otherwise he would act rather than babble
I heard that - the crowd is genuinely hostile - that’s probably why he had to do the town hall. The Lation congressman are taking heat for not coming through with his promises.
I’m steal that, “where’s Brutus?”
Absurd. Where is Congress to say Enough? BTW, doesn’t this create a hostile workplace?
... Got Rove on the TV in the background saying he favors amnesty rather than deporting, says this is a conservative position no less. What a joke.
Barry is ordering ICE officials to ignore a Federal judge’s court order. Can the judge cite him for this? Contempt of Court, among other things?
Pray the judge does find him in contempt.
I was thinking the same thing. He’s passed his own Enabling Act....and proceeding (or trying to proceed) full steam ahead.
My head is about to explode.
Arrest him.
any eo contrary to current law is illegal, null and void.
It would be illegal to follow an illegal order to implement an illegal program for illegal aliens.
Of course Owebowmao will have to threaten people.
The head of the ICE union should write a letter to Judge Hanen and and request a restraining order on the White House. It is a crime to threaten federal workers, and they have a genuine concern that Obama will retaliate against them if they don’t carry out possible illegal orders.
Threatening with the consequences again. .
It a time of treason it’s dangerous to have honor.
