The Obama administration will not release the results of an investigation into why an illegal immigrant with two drunken-driving convictions went almost two years without a deportation hearing before a crash that killed a Virginia nun, a senior official said. Carlos Martinelly-Montano, 23, is accused of killing Sister Denise Mosier, 66....The furor over the way Martinelly-Montano's case was handled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement prompted the agency's boss, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, to announce an investigation...
The inquiry is complete, but Homeland Security does not plan to make the results public...
"It's a document that includes law enforcement sensitivities, so it will not be made public," the official said...
Told of the government's decision to withhold the investigation's results, Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, expressed outrage.
"Prince William County has never been more frustrated with the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Napolitano than it is right now," said Stewart, who has been demanding, without success, that ICE detail how many illegal immigrants are being released after they've been charged with crimes. "They say one thing and do another. They say they are going to do something and then backtrack."
After Martinelly-Montano's second drunken-driving arrest in October 2008, ICE officials released him on his own recognizance while he was awaiting a deportation hearing...
Stewart blamed ICE for the accident.
"They didn't deport this [expletive] that killed a nun, and he had been convicted of DUI twice," Stewart said. "It is their policy to not deport people unless they are convicted of serious crimes. They are going to say this is some bureaucratic snafu, but they are only deporting people who commit a violent act, and since they don't consider DUI a violent act, they are releasing them."...

open borders ping
FOIA their asses.
That's transparency for you, Obama style.
Obama’s Caliphate will bring beheadings to
Virginia before there is compliance with the LAW.
Obama and his DOJ truly hate America.
Illegals FIRST. Americans, last — if at all.

Well, maybe he was drinking for Al-Quida.
This is the problem with agencies like “homeland security”...it automatically leads to abuse of power. EVERYTHING in the USSR involved “security”, so EVERYTHING was the business of the KGB. I’ve read in England that police confiscate cameras if you look suspicious (in their own unchallengeable opinion) or take pictures of “targets” (i.e., any tourist attraction). Security, you know.
Actually, it makes no difference to the nun or those who knew her if she had actually been killed by Al-Quida - still dead.
While the government investigates and researches pressing issues of the day, like the effects of marijuana smoke on fruit fly sex life, or chicken poop runoff, job one - protecting citizens from foreign invaders - seems to be neglected.
Bush had eight years to fix this. We begged him to do his duty for at least four of those years, but he refused.
That doesn't let Obama off the hook, but Obama is looking to bring on twenty million new Democrat voters, Bush was just being stupid.
The Secretary of Homeland SURRENDER!
