"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."

He's not a dictator that can just change a law because he wants to.......
WHOA!
POTUS is fighting FOR US against the courts, the Democrats, the Republicans and the press!
POTUS has his hands full, and WE HAVE TO HAVE HIS BACK! WE CANNOT DESERT HIM!
No sir. Absolute fact . “itle 8, United States Code §1182(f) gives the president the power to suspend the entry of all aliens whenever he finds their entry would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. Its just that simple.
The Supreme Court recently affirmed this power of the President in Trump v. Hawaii. The Court was very clear: The sole prerequisite set forth in 8 U.S.C. §1182(f) is that the President find[] that the entry of the covered aliens would be detrimental to the interests of the United”https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/22/immigrants-invaders-power-president/ States.’
There are no excuses.
Uhhh...that's what he did with the emergency declaration. Did you miss all the Democrats huffing and puffing all over the place? The issue is now in the courts.
This is government work, it's not like throwing a switch. Imagine the "Zootopia" DMV sloth...on Quaaludes.
Thank you.
There is a continuing effort to sow discord in the Trump camp.
My point is that Leftist sources, who are interested in sowing discontent and unhappiness while painting Trump with the worst brush possible, shouldn't be our source of information.
That is exactly how I see it. I did a search on the author, and the organizations that love his work, and I don’t see a good reason to post this on Free Republic.
I view it as doing their work for them.
We can look at various sides of the issue dispassionately, but this is doing it from their perspective as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
... lemme ask you this question. What actions has Trump taken on immigration that Emperor Ninth Circuit has not overruled? Cut off money to sanctuary cities (Emperor 9th said no). End DACA (Emperor 9th said no). Emend catch and release and even continue Obama era policies on the treatment of families (Emperor 9th the Magnificent said no). Enact the stay in Mexico asylum policy (Emperor 9th is trending, what is the word I am looking for here, no.)....
**********************************
As a side note, its long past time for Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell to get cracking on judicial confirmations. And Graham needs to END his decision to allow the RATS to use the Blue Slip process to effectively VETO Trump nominees to District Court judgeships.
REGARDING THE 9TH CIRCUIT:
There are currently TWENTY FOUR District Court Judgeships VACANT in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (CCA) area of responsibility. Plus there are FIVE VACANCIES on the 9th CCA itself.
Until we TIMELY fill judicial vacancies with Trump judges, we can expect this continued judicial activism.
Yes, the Wall is being built.
There is a mad rush for the border. Mexico is supposed to be detaining them but apparently not.
When they touch foot in the USA, stupid laws require Border Control to interview and detain them. They are coached on what to say so they become refugees.
This is why we need the Wall because it will prevent 99% of them from setting foot in the USA to begin with. The Border Control can easily manage the 1% that get through,
The liars in the media want to blame Trump. Won’t work.
Quote: “As a side note, its long past time for Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell to get cracking on judicial confirmations. And Graham needs to END his decision to allow the RATS to use the Blue Slip process to effectively VETO Trump nominees to District Court judgeships.”
Amen!!! Everything you said is 100% correct. They need to use the remainder of this year to pack the Ninth Circuit. This has gotten out of hand.
But their entry is already barred by current law. Trump issuing an EO to suspend the entry of already prohibited migrants would make no sense.
Congress can't say to admit them over the President's objection, but they can say how they're to be handled when in custody and what rights they have to apply for asylum.
What more, exactly, could Trump do?
Better question is what rulings have they made that are not in their power to make?
Absolutely, and I would include Reagan in that group, but the ship is still sinking and he has the absolute power to stop all immigration and chooses not to. Catch and release continues at pace that is equal to a medium size city every month and then they bring all their extended family in.
Shut it down or forget it.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan
Thanks!
Thanks for the review of this author.
The leftism on that author nearly made me gag. If those organizations like the author, I am against him. Pretty simple for me.
This is a fake news article if ever I saw one. Note well who printed it and watch them in the future. The Washington Times does this alot.
These type headlines are obvously BS but is there another reason they write them...besides the obvious.
5 years from now when someone does a internet search these crap articles will be what pops up.
