An INTERPOL branch in the US now cannot be searched, it’s files are not subject to legal subpoena nor discovery. If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the court system, just hand them over to INTERPOL until the smoke clears.
INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens.
By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, exemption from US taxes, and immunity from FOIA requests, etc.
Could this EO have an impact on the prosecution of the Gitmo transferees?
So, they have immunity from the law eh? Do they immunity from the lawless? Bada bing!
Lovely. Interpol is just wonderful, an unaccountable international police force. Lets do everything we can to empower them.
Never mind they were once an arm of the SS.
