Border agent probed by DHS after testifying before Congress
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/19/16 | Joel Gehrke

A top House Republican is calling on the Department of Homeland Security not to retaliate against a border patrol agent who has recently criticized President Obama's immigration policies.

"I fully expect that you will personally ensure that no DHS employee or contractor will be targeted for reprisal or any other form of adverse employment action on the basis of voicing their legitimate concerns regarding compliance with unwritten departmental policies that contradict your written policies," Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., wrote in an April 18 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

That message was sent on behalf of Brandon Judd, the head of the border patrol union, who has become a thorn in the side of his superiors by testifying that DHS is implementing a "catch-and-release" policy, despite official statements saying that policy is not in effect. He has also suggested that some DHS officials who are candid with Congress risk punishment.

Now, Judd faces misconduct allegations filed by "one or more managers" at Border Patrol.

...employee or contractor will be targeted for reprisal or any other form of adverse employment action on the basis of voicing their legitimate concerns...


In my lifetime I have worked many years in government by my military service and civil service.

I know how this “reprisal” thing works. It’s “wink-wink” “nod-nod” and you will he hung out to dry because “you don’t row the boat with the rest of us”, “you are not a team player” and all of the other phrases that paint you with a case of political leprosy. Been there....done that!

When you work for a government organization of any type it’s all about “not making waves” and becoming a member of the so called “team.”

Nothing like a good probing from the Feds. I expect one around August from the IRS. I get audited every year it seems.
