DHS admits it’s still violating judge’s order on immigration amnesty
Washington Times ^ | 5/26/2016 | Stephen Dinan

Homeland Security has discovered more three-year amnesty applications it approved in defiance of a federal judge’s firm injunction, lawyers told the court late Wednesday — less than a week after the judge delivered a vicious spanking to the administration for repeatedly bungling the case.

Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said as they were preparing for their latest update to the court, they discovered three more three-year amnesties they had sent out, after Judge Andrew Hanen had ordered them not to.

Mr. Rodriguez blamed “human error” and said the permits, known specifically as employment authorization documents or EADs, were reissues of ones that they’d sent earlier, but got returned for some reason.

He did not elaborate on the “human error,” and his agency refused to answer follow-up questions from The Washington Times about what those errors entailed, and why it took five months to discover them.

The amnesties are part of the executive action President Obama took in November 2014 to try to stop deportations of most illegal immigrants. He ordered new “priorities” putting most of the 11 million unauthorized migrants out of any danger of being removed, and in the case of up to 5 million, he granted them work permits and a three-year proactive stay of deportation.

Texas led 25 other states in suing, arguing Mr. Obama broke the law and violated the Constitution, and Judge Hanen issued an injunction halting the entire program. The case is now pending before the Supreme Court, but in the meantime, the administration issued more than 100,000 three-year permits, in what Judge Hanan has now ruled to be a violation of his order.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office said the bungles are the latest in a string of problems for the administration.

Why even have laws?

Obama promised to uphold the laws. He’s a sorry POS muzzie so we shouldn’t expect him to honor anything.

OR, he knows he’s going down but he is going to wreak as much damage as he can before that happens.

These aren't "bungles", this is intentional.

He intends to destroy us before then if it comes to that. He first however, intends to set aside Trump and install his own puppet through subversion instead.

Can anybody claim “human error” when they don’t file income taxes? Rob a bank? Pass a stopped school bus?

Yeah, right. Lock up those MFers who defied the judge. And the lawyers too.

Wake me when somebody, anybody, is actually arrested, handcuffed, perp walked to court, jailed waiting for bail. Until then, it’s all Kabuki.

Remember that Barry has pretended to channel Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan is bragging about some of his actions. With respect to the DOJ, he's harking back to Andrew Jackson, who in disagreeing with a Supreme Court decision, said, "John Marshall (the supreme court chief justice) has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."

Mr. Rodriguez blamed “human error”

Well, we certainly wouldn't blame it on the dog. But then again...
