The madness needs to stop!

Help the federal immigration agents with their protest petition! | | | | | | | | |  | Urgent Action | | | | Want to fight back against the Obama amnesty that started today? Help the federal immigration agents with their protest petition! | | | | | | What a great discovery tonight on the website of the union that represents ICE agents! (ICE is the Immigration and Customs Enforcement section of the Department of Homeland Security.) I'm sure you are as frustrated as the rest of us to be listening and seeing all the news today about the start of a two-year amnesty for up to 1.8 million under-30 illegal aliens. It's as if nobody has a way to stand up to the Administration's increasingly brazen unilateral decisions to ignore -- and even violate -- congressionally passed immigration laws. Well, the ICE union has stepped up to take the lead today. It's only a first step. But let's join to make it a powerful one.  Fight back here with petition | | Sign petition against Administration's continuing nullification of immigration laws.
Federal immigration law enforcement agents are boldly challenging their bosses in the Administration. Today, they have put up a petition on their website that protests what they consider to be threats of punishment if they don't follow orders to violate immigration laws passed by Congress. The union's website invites the public to sign the petition and stand behind these courageous immigration agents. Sign their petition. Then ask all your friends to sign it. | |
The petition is addressed to ICE Director John Morton. He is the author of the infamous Morton Memo of a year ago that provided the framework for the Department of Homeland Security's actions beginning today in accepting applications for the mini-DREAM amnesty. The Morton Memo broadened the concept of prosecutorial discretion to the point that huge classes of illegal aliens could be exempted by the Administration from having to obey immigration laws. But ICE agents are finding that the Administration's new rules actually don't give them much discretion at all. The Administration's supposed prosecutorial discretion is in fact the absolute loss of discretion by ICE agents to do anything except ignore the law. The ICE union website states: Reports are now emerging of ICE agents using their prosecutorial discretion, but then being punished if they determine an illegal alien should be put in deportation proceedings. A veteran ICE agent recently arrested an illegal alien who had 10 traffic violations. The ICE agent determined, in his discretion, the alien did not fit within the outline of the Morton memo or the Executive DREAM Order and initiated deportation proceedings. The agent's supervisors overruled him and ordered him to release the illegal alien. As a result of attempting to do his job, the agent in question is now facing a three-day suspension. If suspended now, this military veteran and eighteen year federal law enforcement officer will be fired and lose all retirement benefits earned if he attempts to exercise prosecutorial discretion again in the future.
