Chuck De More, the special agent in charge for ICE based in San Francisco, admitted ICE won't be doing everything.
I get the feeling that they won't be apprehending as many illegals as the BP agents did.
"Frankly, we will respond to criminal-alien calls," De More said. "Our resources are more focused to criminal and egregious offenses."
Sounds like he doesn't want to be bothered with your everyday, run of the mill illegal aliens.
He added that none of the changes was made for budget reasons.
Were they done for hispandering purposes?
This article is long, but I thought it was well worth the read.
They are just shifting some of the responsibilities around right now, giving power to different people and trying to get as many watching the border as possible while charging the local police with apprehending the ones already here.
I expect to see lots of gang bangers being deported. Not!
Is all this bawling about some govt. employee being transferred to another town? If he can buy a 3000 sq/ft house, I'd say he was doing pretty good.
Bwahahahahaha more like they will now be responsible for NOT enforcing the laws regarding illegal aliens...
imo
Great post, thanks.
Sad as it is, these folks know that requests to relocate are the price they may have to pay for their job security. I was disturbed that they were tossing out archival materials that may have helped the ICE group get a running start. You highlighted the comment from the woman citing criminals she would have personally seen deported after their sentences were up.

The intentional crippling of America is occurring slowly but surely.

Hispandering is the trademark of the Bush administration and the one previous to that.
From the stories I have been reading there are more roundups going on. Many construction workers in vegas are scared. Something is going on.
I guess if they had been told they would have sold their old house and missed out on the $50k+ appreciation.

I worked with a gal whose husband flew for Border Patrol. He was so disgusted with the lack of enforcement after he busted his a$$ to round up the cayotes.
It's a tough job. I was talking with a San Diego sector agent a couple of days ago. They're interdicting the aliens so well that the smugglers have moved to very rough terrain in order to try to elude the agents. Consequently, the BP is taking a lot of casualties. Pursuing groups of people in rocky hills almost guarantees injuries.
He worked his tail off flying a helicopter and getting shot at nightly and when he'd report in, there was always a "reason" that the PD in CA couldn't round them up. Of course, that was some 17 years ago.
I don't believe things have changed, but I haven't lived in Ca for a long time. I do remember the "watch out for folks crossing the highway" signs.
These days, the reason the PD would give him would be, "we don't enforce federal laws, that's your problem." Then the mayor starts griping about how much the "undocumented immigrants" (cuz you can't work in government and allow the words "illegal aliens" to pass your lips) cost to educate, jail, blah blah blah, and demands federal money. Unbelievable.
Indeed.
