Lawsuit by Career ICE Attorney Exposes Obama Anti-Enforcement Campaign{Purge Law Abiding Officers}
cis.org ^ | 11/11/14 | Jessica Vaughan

Last week Patricia Vroom, an attorney with an exemplary 26-year career at ICE filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Arizona that depicts in shocking detail how a tightly-knit band of her superiors apparently bullied her and other career lawyers to force compliance with the Obama administration's immigration enforcement suppression scheme. In addition to describing a hostile work environment spoiled by sexual harassment, threats, insults, and other deplorable behavior of these top managers, Vroom's complaint provides alarming examples of how personnel were told to ignore the law and routinely release and dismiss charges on entire categories of criminal aliens, including certain convicted felons, drunk drivers, DACA applicants, and illegal juveniles from the border surge.

The complaint has enough juicy scenes for a night-time television drama, but what it reveals about the Obama administration's reckless disdain for immigration enforcement is especially troubling. It is the latest in a series of lawsuits that demonstrate a disturbing pattern of abuse of authority among favored and ideologically driven senior staff in DHS agencies.Vroom describes some specific examples of how the so-called prosecutorial discretion policies have been implemented, and of the effort to destroy professional integrity in ICE's legal division:

Beginning in May 2009, this clique of top supervisors launched a "purge" of senior chief counsels, targeting them for "harassment, reassignment of duties to much less desirable ones, public humiliation, and brutal scapegoating" in order to place cronies in those key positions to carry out administration policy changes.

"Purge" those will not "ignore the law" and replace them with political "cronies" will "carry out {lawless} administration policy changes."

Barry is CLEARLY violating his oath of office to uphold the law. Why no calls for his prosecution? This couldn’t be more clear, especially on immigration matters.

Is Vroom really Patricia’s last name? I’ll bet she’s had it up to here with jokers saying her name like a starting engine; Vroom, vrooom!

Anyone who thinks Barry doesn't keep lists (established from information derived by NSA email and phone eavesdropping) of enemies defined as those who don't cooperate with his destruction of America, is kidding themselves.

I have no doubt the SEALs who died in that helicopter crash back in August 2011 were hand-picked for their execution by Barry.

The senior ICE managers named in Vroom’s lawsuit who are responsible for imposing these policies and intimidating the career ICE personnel who resisted the policies are:
•Peter Vincent, ICE’s principal legal advisor and senior counselor for international policy, supervising 1,000 ICE attorneys, until he resigned in late October. In the complaint he is accused of numerous instances of sexual harassment, among other allegations;

•Riah Ramlogan, deputy principal legal advisor;

•Jim Stolley, field legal operations manager;

•Sarah Hartnett, field legal operations manager;

•Matt Downer, field legal operations manager

There should charges and convictions. Zero works by simply ignoring the law and imposing his corruption in select cadres who then bully and thug the policies into effect.

It is time to make them FORCE them into the light and from their into prison cells.
In the military he simply fired the opposition and DARED them to raise hell...can’t prove it but I am betting he threatened their pensions and ranks.

This “man” is an evil Hitler. His entire regime has got to be purged.
And the ONLY way is for Congress to stop funding them until they get the perpetrators removed. Do it by department: start with DO-whatever...show the pattern of corruption and intimidation and refuse to appropriate any more money until changes are implemented.

Won’t happen of course, but it COULD...

Politicians go a long way towards ruining this country...but it’s the bureaucracy that makes it happen.

Notice how Vroom (Dutch name by the way) filed suit right after the Republicans won big last week. She was too fearful to file until the American voters broke Obala’s spell.

So good for her anyway and good luck to this whistle blower

Until there are a few deaths, there will be no end to the tyranny

"I have no doubt the SEALs who died in that helicopter crash back in August 2011 were hand-picked for their execution by Barry."

Having just seen Mockingjay Part I, I like to visualize Obama is the role of President Snow. It is a good fit.
