House Committee Threatens to Hold Janet Napolitano in Contempt
U.S. News & World Report ^ | December 8, 2011 | Mallie Jane Kim

Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith is threatening to hold Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in contempt of Congress if officials don't provide subpoenaed information by tomorrow.

According to Smith, DHS hasn't sufficiently answered the House Judiciary Committee's November subpoena asking for the names and identifying information of the estimated 300,000 people who were flagged by the immigration-status checking program Secure Communities but were released and not placed in deportation proceedings.

And if the department doesn't fork over the requested information by Friday, Smith plans to hold a vote in the committee, which he chairs, to consider whether to begin proceedings to hold the department's head in contempt. Such a motion would need to be approved by the full House of Representatives.

Smith and other Republicans on the committee want to comb through the requested data to analyze why those individuals were arrested and released, and to see if any illegal immigrants released have committed additional crimes.

Hopefully they will issue an warrant for her arrest and lock her up with the millions of harmless illegals she claims is here.

Hold her in contempt?? She’s shaking in her shoes no doubt. Hold her in a jail cell would be more appropriate. This current crop of government DC criminals will do anything to keep the public focus off themselves for their own crimes and official failures. Good grief!

They threaten,but they won’t do it.

Republicans do not have True Grit.

I would take a cyber bet right now that tomorrow will come and go with no arrest.

The US Border Patrol Weekly Blotter, Southern Border Sectors seems to be "404 unavailable" these days. Wonder why that is (eyes rolling)!

Not to worry, here's the one for Blaine, WA:

US Border Patrol Weekly Blotter, Blaine Sector Nov-14-Nov 20

Victims of Illegal Aliens

*Illegal Aliens are now "cross-border violators"

Snip: 12-7-11 During mandatory Cultural and Environmental Awareness training that all Border Patrol agents must take, we learn that illegal aliens are now referred to as "cross-border violators". We further learn that we should carry lots of garbage bags and assist the "cross-border violators" in hauling out their trash and disposing of it properly. Further evidence that Border Patrol field operations have been hijacked by politically correct politicians. We are glad to know that the huge army of Border Patrol staff officer bureaucrats in D.C. are busy finding new ways to try to lobotomize rank-and-file agents so they can be transformed into politically correct robots who are afraid to make a decision or aggressively enforce the laws of this country. After all, too many arrests of "cross-border violators" would not look good for another massive amnesty program.

Did the house finally come to the point of not being able to tolerate having to look at her ugliness or are they taking it a step further and getting fed up with her idiotic political BS?

“cross-border violators” makes it sound like they are simply harmless illegals whose crime is the same as, Americans who would be running a stop sign or speeding.

Brought to us by the same people who call the Ft. Hood terrorsim act "workplace violence....." Each day the idiocy (and jaw-dropping political correctness gone berserk) we are getting from them supercedes the day before.

I’ve held her in contempt ever since she got into Arizona politics.
