"ICE officers who endorsed President Trump in 2016 now say he has failed to follow through on his get-tough promises, saying catch-and-release of immigrants living illegally in the U.S. is not only still happening, but has gone into overdrive.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers say theyre being roped into such mundane tasks as opening the doors on vans to release immigrants already caught by Border Patrol agents. Thats dragging the officers from their usual duties of nabbing fugitives, or scouring local prisons and jails for immigrant criminals who lived illegally in the U.S. ready to be deported.
The shell game is all the more ridiculous, the officers said, because Border Patrol agents could fill out paperwork and open the doors themselves, but the agencys leaders dont want to be part of catch-and-release.
Hundreds of man hours are wasted each day at a time of crisis on the border, the leaders of the National ICE Council, the union that represents ICE officers, said in a letter sent directly to Mr. Trump on Monday.
The letter was sent just hours before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted to approve Mr. Trumps pick, Ronald D. Vitiello, to be the new director of ICE."

Some are very good and some aren’t!

The complaint is from the union, not the rank and file?
Nuff said.
> Trump needs to move on this IF he has the authority to go it alone... which is usually the problem. <
Our ship is taking on much more water than is being pumped out. So it’s best to get on this right now, and let the lawyers fight it out later.
Yeah so they are now supporting AOC because they think she will do a much better job. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE go away with this crap!
“In the light of the absolute authority on all immigration matters granted by the Supreme Court specifically to the presidency articulated in the recent decision Hawaii vs Trump, there should be grave concern as to what is going on. Why has our president not stopped catch and release?”
SCROTUS didn’t ‘give’ him sh!t. He’s always had total authority over national security. The fact is the border is wide open and we’re still doing catch and release. More than a quarter of a million per month are streaming in...
Something is horribly wrong.
He has done everything he can at the executive level to implement immigration reform and build the wall. Local judges have corrupted his efforts acting way out of their jurisdiction.
His own party has weaseled out on him repeatedly. The congresscritters have just been a sideshow as they have been forever so I never expected much to get done there anyway. Just a lot of blustering.
Trump’s not the problem. It’s the law as written and the courts.
Trump has been trying to get Congress to rewrite the laws. But the Rino’s failed to do it when they had control. And now Rat’s have control.

The Courts and THE LAW require release.
************************************
As I understand it, it would be more precise and accurate to say various CORRUPT Obama Regime CONSENT DECREES require release. I also understand that the Trump administration can decide to back out of consent decrees and RE-LITIGATE.
Exactly. The reaction should be like a majority of those on this forum: Sit back and wait for SHTF. Never mind the fact that the fan is completely caked over and pretty much inoperable.
Yeah but Anne Coulter is a ding dong even if she is correct.</s>
I can remember when People kept coming up with these to excuse the failures of GW.
> The complaint is from the union, not the rank and file? <
Interesting observation. But when it comes to work issues like this, the union is often the most honest voice in the room. The big shots are looking to move up the ladder. The rank and file are worried about retaliation from the big shots. Only the union has the ability to speak freely.
Now, when it comes to pay issues, it’s just the opposite. The union is often the least honest voice in the room.
Trumps not the problem. Its the law as written and the courts.
**********************************
Its mainly CONSENT DECREES that the Obama folks engineered that are MUCH of the problem. Trump should have his new AG have the DOJ begin the process of backing out of these corruptly engineered consent decrees.
Sure but he is the One Man that is President. He can either use the powers granted to him or he can continue to kneel before a single unelected tyrant in a black robe. His choice not ours.
The courts have no say in national security. The law is clear. Not that PDJT needs to rely on a statute to deny entry to any foreign national he deems a threat or not in the best interests of America
8 U.S. Code § 1182, entitled Inadmissible aliens, reads:Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline
We're being LIED to!!
The President got $1.4 billion.
I'd also say this is fake news.
He has to obey all lawful rulings but even Soldiers do not have to obey unlawful orders. A single judge just declared that 7 billion people now have constitutional rights. Trump can accept that or exercise his lawful powers to stop it. Of course he may be to busy working out a way to get all the H1Bs in here.
Because it is the law. They have no choice but to do it and Congress won’t change it.
Yup. It’s disgusting. I’m tired of making excuses
The law requires catch and release. Also, with 1 million illegals entering the US this year, are we going to build accomodations for 1 million prisoners. Never gonna happen.
