Arnold Ahlert: “A bombshell report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is difficult to construe as anything other than the Obama administration’s contempt for the rule of law. An internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document obtained by CIS reveals that in 2013, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released from detention 36,007 convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of their deportation proceeding… [O]nce again, the American public is being forced to endure the substitution of a political agenda – one with potentially deadly consequences – for the rule of law. Yet the notion that even a single criminal alien, much less thousands, have been freed to roam the streets of American is beyond the pale. The nation is rapidly approaching a level of institutional lawlessness in which government can no longer protect us from criminal enterprise for the simplest and most disturbing reason: it is endorsing that criminal enterprise.”
