Chaffetz's inquiry was the first from Capitol Hill on the matter. He called the situation "disturbing" in a letter dated Thursday to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Chaffetz asked that officials brief him and his staff by Jan. 3 and provide answers in writing.

ICE agents in New Jersey notified superiors at the Homeland Security Department because they considered it a potentially high profile arrest, and the department instructed them not to arrest Sanchez until after the November election, one U.S. official told the AP.

He found out through an Ass. Press new report? It seems little Bobby Menendez might be a little out of touch with what is going on around him. What the ‘RATS would call, “a great leader”.

Hey, he's probably just a member of NAMBLA, so get off everyone's back already.
