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.

Sleeping with the illegal aliens?
Hosing down my wet back?
I bet she didn’t get that mouth sucking doorknobs...
“Ain’t exacly pretty, ain’t exactly small...”
Must be synonymous with the famous last words of the almost-impeached sex-pot in the White House, "I did. Not. Have. Sex. With that woman."
Right.
Guilty....Guilty....GUILTY on all counts. Throw her fat liberal ass in prison for civil rights violations involving sexual blackmail & extortion.
I was always told the boss is ultimately responsible for their underlings. If this is true, shouldn’t BIG SIS Janet be fired? Oh, I guess I shouldn’t expect this current regime to be responsible.
sleeps with her head in the kitchen, her feet in the hall...
I don’t think she’s hetero. She sounds very much like a lesbian bully. Jealous of the male anatomy and subjecting her male subordinates to that anger.
She likes dudes? And here I thought all of obama’s female appointees liked other wimmins . . .
Yes, she does.
In fact, the sign on her desk reads "The Bucks Stop Here!"

“In fact, the sign on her desk reads “The Bucks Stop Here!”
LOL, that’s funny.....
Just like Janet “The Torch” Reno. DemonRat administration have a real need to fill their security position with large lesbians. Barr didn’t have Janet’s fetish for burning down people’s houses with them trapped inside, she just created her own twisted version of Animal House in the office.
Yep, the RAT party is all for women’s rights while getting serviced by female interns under their desks and underpaying them.
