WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior Obama administration political appointee and longtime aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano resigned Saturday amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior lodged by at least three Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.
Suzanne Barr, chief of staff to ICE Director John Morton, said in her resignation letter that the allegations against her are "unfounded." But she said she was stepping down anyway to end distractions within the agency. ICE, a division of the Homeland Security Department, confirmed Barr had resigned. The Associated Press obtained a copy of Barr's letter.
Barr is accused of sexually inappropriate behavior toward employees. The complaints are related to a sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a senior ICE agent in May.
In her letter to Morton, Barr said she has been the subject of "unfounded allegations designed to destroy my reputation" and is resigning "with great regret."
"Of greater concern however, is the threat these allegations represent to the reputation of this agency and the men and women who proudly serve their country by advancing ICE's mission," Barr wrote. "As such, I feel it is incumbent upon me to take every step necessary to prevent further harm to the agency and to prevent this from further distracting from our critical work."
Barr went on leave last month after the New York Post reported on the lawsuit filed by James T. Hayes Jr., ICE's special agent in charge in New York. Additional employees came forward with their allegations around the same time.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y., said in a statement Saturday that Barr's resignation "raises the most serious questions about management practices and personnel policies at the Department of Homeland Security." He said his committee will continue to review the case and personnel practices at DHS.

The weekend dump is more active than usual...
How much did the Cabinet Secretary know, and when did she know it???
Hit the bricks, Barr. And with the economy that Zero has created, good luck getting a job. Oops, I forgot, she’s a prominent lib so she’ll get a $250,000/year no-show job with some company.
Looks like the Democrats are conducting a war on women!
What about Napolitano’s other woman “homey” in DHS?
Barr was a fool. The other one, whose name begins with an “S” (I think), has more power and is closer to Nappi.

Excerpt, lol:
“”This led to an awkward “bro-off” between Rivera and Kilmeade.
“No machos need apply,” Rivera quipped.
“No English Leather cologne allowed,” Kilmeade replied.
“No Old Spice,” Rivera said.”
Before we accuse this “woman” of anything...I want details. Just what did she blow and when did she blow it?
I don't know. As a man with great taste in women I have not seen a disease infested liberal skank I'd be interested working for much less consorting with.
Where do the demoncraps come up with these sacks of puss?
Just another distraction to try and take our eyes of what matters. Obama's corruption needs to be exposed, bottom line.
“This led to an awkward “bro-off” between Rivera and Kilmeade.“No machos need apply,” Rivera quipped.
“No English Leather cologne allowed,” Kilmeade replied.
“No Old Spice, ON THE MEN.” Rivera said.”
Fixed.
You sure get some strange situations when the top man running an org is a sick confuzed homosexual woman.
Everything, all the time.
Dora Schriro ... reported to have had a “longstanding relationship” with Napolitano.
From Debbie Schlussel:
Schriro had zero experience in law enforcement, and yet, she was appointed ICE Policy Director and set the current Obama immigration enforcement policy of not enforcing immigration laws.
Schriro, who made a mess of Arizona’s prisons and empowered violent prisoners against prison guards, is now making a mess of New York’s prisons, a cushy job Napolitano got her so she could be close to a sick relative in New York
Couldn't this have waited until December? LOL!
"I'm innocent I tell you, innocent"!
"Please have my mail forwarded to Bolivia please...."
LOL. Woo-Hoo!
“...Barr said she has been the subject of “unfounded allegations designed to destroy my reputation” ...”
She must mean there are some things we haven’t heard about yet.
