ICE agents slam Obama immigration policy
Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ union officials throughout the nation issued a unanimous no confidence vote in that agency’s Director John Morton on behalf of ICE officers, agents and employees nationwide citing gross mismanagement within the Agency as well as efforts within ICE to create backdoor amnesty through agency policy. And almost one year later, the law enforcement agents and their union haven’t changed their minds.
In a biting June 23, 2011 statement, ICE union leaders say that since the June 10, 2010 no confidence vote was first released, problems within their agency have increased, citing the Director’s latest Discretionary Memorandum as just one example.
“Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what’s coming,” said Chris Crane, President of the National ICE Council which represents approximately 7,000 ICE agents, officers and employees, “this is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy.”
