Union leader says some stations continue to follow Obama 'catch and release' directives
Some border patrol stations have been slow to carry out President Donald Trumps immigration enforcement executive order and instead have continued former President Barack Obamas catch-and-release policies, according to a union official.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told LifeZette that he raised concerns Thursday with U.S. Border Patrol Chief Ronald Vitiello. He said he is confident that issue soon will be corrected.
But Judd said as recently as Thursday, some border patrol stations were still releasing border-jumpers, often without even issuing notices to appear in immigration court hearings. Obamas policy was to release anyone claiming to have been living continuously in the United States since before Jan. 1, 2014, if they did not have criminal records or active warrants.

There’s that word again. “Rogue”
I seem to recall a “rogue” IRS agent. Not even a smidgen.
They need to arrest these border agents for NOT DOING THEIR JOB!!!
Make’s you wonder how many are working for the Cartels.
Everything about Obama was 'plausible deniability' right down to his virgin birth and national identity.
Every single time I’ve read about illegal sympathizers, border patrol helping illegals, etc., they have always had Hispanic surnames. A lot of them don’t want to do the job. I agree. Fire them.
Here's a better idea. Arrest the rogue agents and send them down to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp as they await trial for sedition and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Waiting for specific guidance like you stated is the most likely reason IMO. At least for the last two decades simply doing your job as directed by Congress could get you suspended, fired or put in jail. Seems to be a case of being overly cautious rather than outright insubordination.
How many are named Sanchez or Rodriguez in that group? Don’t hire a fox to guard the chicken coop.
As the Justice Dept. AG seat-holder found out, refuse to do your job & get canned.
Don’t merely fire them...Arrest them. I bet many have received a lot of cartel money.
