Documents confirm Obama administration’s ‘catch and release’ immigration policy

Well, what do you know. Obama administration officials at the Department of Homeland Security deliberately misled Congress when they denied using “selective enforcement” to deport convicted criminals in the U.S. illegally. Their much-criticized “catch and release” policy was confirmed by documents obtained by Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act.

The documents “show that the Obama administration is implementing ‘stealth amnesty’ which is an end-run around the rule of law and Congress,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Contrary to administration claims that convicted criminals were being deported just as fast as DHS got them, the released documents show that local immigration officials were in fact being given what Judicial Watch describes as “wide latitude” to dismiss federal immigration charges –even against criminals convicted of violent crimes such as sexual assault, solicitation of murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault, drug possession and assaulting a police officer.

They were then released back into the same American communities they violated, where they were free to prey on new victims.

One example: A June 30, 2010 memo from John Morton, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Enforcement, instructs all ICE employees to use discretion in “prioritizing” deportation cases. As a result, Houston ICE increased its dismissals of deportation cases by 40 percent, earning praise from ICE headquarters.

“If the crime is remote in time and the alien has a substantial number of equities, all factors will be weighed to determine if an exercise of PD [prosecutorial discretion] is appropriate,” wrote Gary Goldman, chief counsel for Houston ICE, in a Aug. 12, 2010 memo. “ICE Senior Leadership does not want their attorneys to merely fill a seat in immigration court and blindly prosecute every case handed to them. The current administration wants attorneys of greater sophistication, independence and complexity in decision making…”

The current administration may want “sophistication”, but the American people want convicted foreign criminals kicked out of the U.S.A.

Another example: ICE officials in Pennsylvania advised police to release three illegal immigrants charged with speeding, driving without a license, insurance or registration under false identification.

This is strikingly similar to ICE’s refusal to deport Carlos Martinelly-Montano, who was subsequently charged with killing one nun and critically injuring two others last August in Prince William County in a drunk driving accident. Martinelly-Montano was allowed to remain in the U.S. despite two previous DUI convictions.

After critics in the media, including The Examiner, criticized ICE’s “catch and release” policy, Morton sent out another memo dated June 17, 2011 further defining the term “prosecutorial discretion.”

“In basic terms, prosecutorial discretion is the authority of an agency charged with enforcing a law to decide to what degree to enforce the law against a particular individual,” Morton writes. In other words, the identity of the foreign offender – not the crime itself – determines whether or not the criminal is deported.

As Fitton points out, this is exactly the selective enforcement that the Obama administration claimed it was not doing.

ATC SAYS - And all this to what? You better bet the answer is to appease the Mexican Government and garnish latino voters to the Democrat Voter Base...Happy with democrats who are willing to do anything to curry their favor...even violate the law and mislead the sheepish public with their lies to the contrary all the while they move behind our very backs to solidify their votes for the 2012 election. One only merely need look at Obongo's declining poll ratings to understand why he is trying to pander to the leaders of the Mexican amnesty groups. One case in point, in 2008, Obama gave Cecilia Munoz, La Raza’s former senior vice president, a cushy hack job as director of “International Affairs.” Obama understands that Latino voters are very personally engaged and watching carefully what is happening with the immigration policies because they know people who will be impacted by said policies!

Obama tries to stop execution in Texas of Mexican killer

US president warns Texan authorities that execution would put America in breach of international legal obligations (ATC Says - the Fuck you say! Mexico isn't worried about its international obligations concerning the flood of Illegal Immigrants into America...so why should we care what the hell they think about dealing with a deviant criminal on our soil that rapes and kills Americans ......much less what this ZOG tool in a suit with his teleprompter thinks!)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/05/obama-stop-texas-mexican-execution



President Barack Obama is attempting to block the execution in Texas on Thursday of a Mexican man because it would breach an international convention and do "irreparable harm" to US interests.

The White House has asked the US supreme court to put the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia on hold while Congress passes a law that would prevent the convicted rapist and murderer from being put to death along with dozens of other foreign nationals who were denied proper access to diplomatic representation before trials for capital crimes.

The administration moved after the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, brushed aside appeals from diplomats, top judges, senior military officers, the United Nations and former president George W Bush to stay Leal's execution because it could jeopardise American citizens arrested abroad as well as US diplomatic interests.

Leal, 38, was convicted in 1994 of the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio. Few question that he was responsible for the killing but the Texas authorities failed to tell Leal, who was born in Mexico and has lived in the US since the age of two, that under the Vienna convention he was entitled to contact the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.

Leal's lawyers argue that the lack of consular access played a role in the death penalty being applied because the Mexican national incriminated himself in statements made during "non-custodial interviews" with the police on the day of the murder. Had Leal had access to the Mexican consulate it would have been likely to have arranged a lawyer who would have advised the accused man to limit his statements to the police. As it was, the Mexican authorities were never informed of his arrest.

In a 30-page brief to the supreme court, the administration said that the carrying out of the execution "would place the United States in irreparable breach of its international law obligation" under the convention.

The White House said it was in the US's interests to meet its treaty obligations.

"These interests include protecting Americans abroad, fostering co-operation with foreign nations, and demonstrating respect for the international rule of law," it said.

Carrying out Leal's execution would cause "irreparable harm" to US interests abroad, the administration added.

"That breach would have serious repercussions for United States foreign relations, law-enforcement and other co-operation with Mexico, and the ability of American citizens travelling abroad to have the benefits of consular assistance in the event of detention," it said.

The legal situation has been complicated by earlier court rulings.

In 2004, the international court of justice (ICJ) ruled that the US authorities had failed to meet its legal obligations to 51 Mexicans awaiting execution in American prisons when they were not informed of their right to contact their consulates.

The then president, George W Bush, a former Texas governor who backs the death penalty, said the US would adhere to the ICJ ruling which, in effect, meant the death sentences would be reviewed or commuted. But in 2008 the supreme court ruled that while the US government was obliged to comply with the ICJ ruling it did not have the power to force individual American states to do so. Only Congress could require adherence by passing a law.

The Obama administration has told the supreme court that a bill has recently been introduced in to the Senate to do just that but it is unlikely to win the approval of both houses of Congress before next year. The White House wants Leal's execution put on hold until the law is passed but two courts have already ruled that pending legislation has no effect on the legal process.

The UN high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay, has appealed to Perry to commute Leal's sentence to life imprisonment.

Christof Heyns, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions said that if Leal was put to death it would be "tantamount to an arbitrary deprivation of life".

Perry's office has said Texas laws had been abided by and that Leal would be executed for "the most heinous of crimes".




ATC Says - OK lets suppose that this was some white guy from Colorado who snuck into mexico illegally (I know hard to believe...like why the hell would anybody want to illegally sneak into that shithole to begin with right) , lived there for some time, got a job layed low off the grid then suddenly got into trouble with the mexican authorities for the same crime........Do you seriously think that the Mexican Government is going to be concerned about their international legal obligations concerning the execution an American! HELL NO! That fucker is dead and deservedly so!

God I love Texas, probably one of the last bastions of racial sanity left that has a leader with balls big enough to stand up against the liberal agenda and evil machinations of the Obama-nation Obomination!

Obama Issues DREAM Act by Executive Order

On June 17, the Obama administration issued a memo announcing that federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing.

By:Dave Gibson, June 24, 2011

http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2011/06/obama_issues_dr.php

This new policy of “prosecutorial discretion” was quietly announced on Friday afternoon, and completely ignored by the mainstream press.

Author of Arizona’s SB1070 and Kansas’ secretary of state, Kris Kobach, told the Daily Caller: “They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law.”

Late last year, the so-called DREAM Act which would give legal residency status to millions of illegal aliens who attend college or join the military was defeated in the Senate.

Every major poll has shown that the American people are overwhelmingly opposed to the DREAM Act as well as any other form of amnesty.

However, with Obama’s poll numbers plummeting, this use of his executive powers is seen as an obvious ploy to solidify the Latino vote in the 2012 presidential election.

ATC Says - Anything he can do to try and get re-elected. I sound like a broken record I know but in light of his continuing falling popularity amongst the fools who put him into office in 2008, Obongo has no choice now but to pander to the latino vote and foreigners to keep him in office! The American people overwhelmingly oppose any form of Amnesty but it's not like this administration really cares or governs with the will of the American People at heart anyways! We must fight this and do our best to see this creature and all his machinations deposed!

Justice Served or an Enginerred False Flag Watershed Moment

Justice served: Osama bin Laden dead and disposed

WASHINGTON (RNN) - DNA testing confirms the man responsible for the planning of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the central figure in the al-Qaeda terrorist operation, Osama bin Laden, has been killed by U.S. forces.

http://www.ksla.com/story/14551158/justice-served-sama-bin-laden-dead-and-disposed

"This is a good day for America," President Barack Obama said Monday during a previously scheduled Medal of Honor ceremony.

DNA was not the only evidence that confirms bin Laden's death, according to the Associated Press (AP). Matching physical features of the his recovered body, a detailed CIA photo analysis and the testimonies of those at the scene all back up the government's genetic testing.

"There should be no doubt in anybody's mind, this is Osama bin Laden," a government official said to the AP.

Obama announced late Sunday night that bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan in a firefight with U.S. forces.

"The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda. His death does not mark the end of our effort," Obama said.

A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity said bin Laden's burial would be handled according to Islamic tradition, which required burial within 24 hours, the AP reported.

However, muslim clerics said bin Laden's burial at sea is not in accordance with tradition, the AP reported.

"The Americans want to humiliate Muslims through this burial, and I don't think this is in the interest of the U.S. administration," said Omar Bakri Mohammed, a radical cleric in Lebanon, told the AP.

The U.S. government says it would have been difficult to find a country willing to take bin Laden's body, for fear it would create a permanent shrine. Unconfirmed reports indicate that two countries turned down requests to claim the body: Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

It remains unclear if the U.S. government will provide photographic evidence of bin Laden's dead body. (ATC Says .....oh I am sure they eventually will, after all it took us 2 1/2 years to see a birth certificate....I am sure at some point when it is politically expedient and beneficial to Obongo, as was the case with the a fore mentioned item, it will be).

Leads on bin Laden's whereabouts first surfaced last August, Obama said Sunday, but they was "far from certain." After several meetings last week, he and his national security team finally had enough intelligence to take action.

According to senior Obama administration officials, bin Laden was located in a $1 million compound in Pakistan.

"Intelligence analysts determined this compound was custom built to hide someone of significance," the official said. "Everything we saw was perfectly consistent with what experts expected bin Laden's compound to look like."

He noted it also had no phone or internet access.

In a 40-minute raid, bin Laden was killed, as well as three adult men, two believed to be couriers and a third, bin Laden's adult son. A woman was also killed when she was used as a shield by a combatant within the compound.

The administration officials say the intelligence on bin Laden's whereabouts was not shared with any other country and only a few people within the ranks of the U.S. government knew about the operation in advance.

The president called it "a good and historic day."

"We can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-Qaeda's terror, justice has been done," Obama said.

"Let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11, that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores."

Bin Laden was widely regarded as public enemy No. 1 of the U.S.

"Well, this is a terrific day for America, and quite frankly the whole world that cares about winning the war on terror," said Andy Card, chief of staff of former President George W. Bush, to ABC.

Throngs of people gathered outside the White House Sunday evening and sang the national anthem and Queen's "We Are the Champions."

Before the announcement was made, U.S. military installations were placed on heightened alert in preparation for possible retaliation.

"There's no doubt that al-Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us," Obama said. "We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad."

According to MSA Security, however, the fate of Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second in command, remains unknown at the current time.

"Zawahiri is widely believed to be the driving force for al-Qaeda operations worldwide," said the intelligence agency in a news release issued Monday morning.

The death of bin Laden comes almost 10 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the start of the war in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden is also wanted by the FBI in connection with a trio of bombings on U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The attacks, which killed more than 200, occurred on Aug. 7, 1998.

The FBI advertised a $25 million reward for information leading to Bin Laden's capture.

ATC Says - I will not believe it until I see the body.......Why the delay in the release of the photo? This sure is a good distraction for the sheeple, they are celebrating at ground zero, just wait folks and your memory will come back to you about how this president has gone out of his way to wreck this country.........just wait till the new higher taxes kick in and then there's retaliatory strikes on US soil .......oh, and gas hits $7 a gallon

BREAKING NEWS ON FOX.....now they are giving him a burial at sea (in accordance with Islamic tradition of course), so they release news that the DNA tests are a positive match they are him (Osama), they don't release a photo for the public to see, and we're just supossed to trust them and take their work for it?

Don't worry folks your government wouldn't lie to you or create a series of circumstances tailored to sway your allegiance or opinion now would they? Move along nothing to see here.....Ignore the men behind the curtain!
