The Associated Press has learned that the Homeland Security Department official in charge of the agency's immigration enforcement and removal operations has resigned after hundreds of illegal immigrants were released from jails because of government spending cuts.

So, is this a State Department dismissal (reassigned) or a private sector dismissal (your ass is gone!)?

We could never stop it. It IS coming down—it is just a matter of when. It is like a sickness, the sooner we barf to eliminate this sickness from our body, the sooner we can begin to heal.

Can we have a face and a name! Or is this a ghost person!
We talk about deceased voters we prob pay deceased workers!
When was that last time this person clocked in?
And this employee sure has a lot of power for one person! I would think this dismissal would have to have gone before some committee and if so all should resign or be fired!
Were voter registration cards and welfare documents given out when they were released?

My initial assumption was that this guy resigned in disgust after the release of illegal aliens ordered by the Obama administration as part of their fake “sequestration narrative”. Many posters seem to think he is being “thrown under the bus” as a scapegoat for the release — but that would carry an admission that the release was improper — thus counter to the narrative. The article doesn’t really say. What was the guy’s actual motivation?

I hear you, it’s very vague.

I suspect they are anticpiating, or at minimum fearing worst case scenarios post-release. Sort of premeptive manuever.

Perhaps obama and feinstein will try to make sharpened weapons illegal as well, in that so many members of obama’s administration are falling on their swords to give him cover.

I don’t see the problem. He was only doing what the White House wanted - exaggerating the effect of the sequester.

My take is that the person resigned because he can’t do his job. Not that he is the fall guy.

I bet you nailed it.

Gee.....the Obama regime is releasing real, hard-core criminals....even while attempting to disarm law-abiding Americans and/or attempting to make criminals of us all via new, draconian, anti-gun ownership laws.

And this is only the beginning (of America’s end).

[petitfour]

I’m only guessing. It could be that the guy is a liberal nut and thinks that there is no such thing as an illegal. I don’t know. I am sure we will learn more soon. I got the impression from things Sheriff Babeu said to the media that there are folks in ICE who are not happy.

I wouldn't get too excited about Gary Mead's resignation. It is just more of the Washington Kabuki Theater. All designed for the Low Information Voter (LIV). My guess is, Gary Mead is close enough to retirement (or has a higher paying job lined up) and high enough on the food chain to used as a sacrificial lamb.
As Rush says, this president has managed to convince the LIV that he is not responsible for anything in Washington. Zero, Zip, Nada. So they announce that the White House and Homeland Security knew nothing of this and Mead ‘resigns’. LIV now thinks Broncho Bamma is still as pure as the new fallen snow. Wait! That could be racist so scratch that.
Broncho Bamma is a pure as the coal dust covering the Lehigh Valley.

"You xenophobic right wing bigots only seem to care about brown-skinned immigrant criminals, not our pink-skinned domestic citizen criminals"

And that's where we need to expose them of the racists they are for implying that only non-white humans are prone to breaking laws and know no better because of the color of their skin.

Perhaps obama and feinstein will try to make sharpened weapons illegal as well, in that so many members of obama’s administration are falling on their swords to give him cover.

I doubt it. I'm sure that's one type of fatal result (the main victim being the truth) that they heartily approve. They'd probably even make an exception for true automatic weapons if needed to give them sufficient cover(ups).

[tsowellfan]

This is such BS I want to vomit all over 0dumbo

The republicans DO control the House and have controlled it when Obama has done worse things. Make sure you also lean over John Boehner's lap with 1/3 of your vomit.

[MileHi]

Looks like they did it in Tacoma too, and I doubt this guy was involved.

Did I hear Rush mention 30,000 ILLEGALS were released and DHS still had an additional 3,000 empty beds?
