The Washington Dispatch has learned, that at approximately 6 p.m. PDT on Sunday, an office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Tacoma, Washington was burglarized.
An inventory of missing items was made available and included the following:
An I.N.S. Admissions Stamp used in validating passports, normally permits 90 day access.
A Parolee Stamp which allows a stateless person (refugees, etc.) to enter and apply for resident alien status within one year.
D-1 and D-2 stamps which allow a ship's crewman entry for business or pleasure purposes.
An assortment of miscellaneous I.N.S. forms.
Most importantly, an I-551 stamp was reported missing. This stamp is used to create a resident alien card which permits the cardholder to become a permanent lawful resident of the United Staes.
In addition to the stamps and forms, a .40 caliber Berretta and two full magazines were also reported missing.
The Washington Dispatch is following the story and will be reporting additional details as they become available.

Holy Crap! I bet it was an inside job. Why would a gun be at the INS.. doesn't that sound strange? Isn't just an agency that administrative staff would work out of.. no one like an officer...right? I would think anyone needing a gun at the INS would have it on them as a concealed firearm.. Any comments about this? That sounds kind of fishy!

Is that how the Chinese or clinton spells it? ;)

Why would a gun be at the INS.. doesn't that sound strange? Not strange. Among other things, the INS is the "Border Patrol," which rounds up illegals, some of whom are criminals, and others of whom may be expected to be violent.

You'd think that this stuff would be locked in a safe.

Most of the INS stamps could be created by a 10 year-old using an office supply do-it-yourself kit. There's nothing at all elaborate about them, just plain old red-ink text.

you know, i can't believe this...is the entire government incompetent?
To: kristinn
I'm not sure if someone with a stolen INS stamp could let in more terrorists than the INS does already on its own?
To: kristinn
What is the Washington Dispatch? Is it credible? Is anyone else reporting this story and do officials have any reason to believe that this burglary was perpetrated by terrorists?
To: Bill Davis FR
...is the entire government incompetent? One word: YES!

YES..........every institution has been diversitized, pansyized, and affirmative actionized. Surprised, that the government is full of incompetent and traitorous people.
To: kristinn
Oh, no they stole a GUN!!
Bring in the ATF. Seriously though, I wonder where a gun came from in a federal office.
To: kristinn
LOL! Tell me that there is no conspiracy now folks! This all ties together like a jigsaw puzzel.
Dead witnesses in georgia.Other folks terrorized. Theft of uniforms and other related thefts. Explosives missing.
Here we go! Best for all to keep eyes wide open!
To: GingisK
I work for the government. In a word, yes, the whole government is incompetent. This is a direct result of the personnel management system which is geared to avoiding offending anyone, avoiding rewarding initiative, avoiding punishment, and there is almost no way to root out incompetent/corrupt employees. And I'm in the medical field. We don't even want to go there.

Yeah, just the usual. INS giving away the keys to the kingdom. Yawn.
To: kristinn
I'm sure with their stellar controls each stamp will have a unique ID and all they will have to do is ask those with the id to have their passports restamped. Wait, I was thinking the INS was competent.

I so agree. It all goes 3 times for the INS. Commerce, Education, INS: why, oh why, are these things allowed to operate this way?
