WASHINGTON — Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have released “several hundred” immigrants from deportation centers across the country, saying the move is an effort to cut costs ahead of budget cuts due to hit later this week.
Announcing the news Tuesday, ICE officials said that the immigrants were released under supervision and continue to face deportation. After reviewing hundreds of cases, those released were considered low-risk and “noncriminal,” officials said.
The releases took place over the last week and were an effort “to ensure detention levels stay within ICE’s current budget,” said ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christiansen, citing uncertainty caused by a budget standoff in Washington.
“All of these individuals remain in removal proceedings. Priority for detention remains on serious criminal offenders and other individuals who pose a significant threat to public safety,” she said.

I say, if you encounter one of these newly released Illegal Aliens in a Criminal Act, you shoot them, and leave the body were it falls until DHS comes to collect it. If you call while they are still alive, DHS will not come. Then the only expense DHS will have, is a Pine Box and a hole in the ground, dramatically reduce their budget. Violent criminals can not be permitted to roam our streets, unencumbered.
Obozo and his Evil regime will do any thing to make people think he cares.
My thoughts maybe someone can look into this. Obama back in 2011 started the sequester. My thoughts are that he really didn’t think we was going to win a 2nd term in office so he set a trap for the republicans for March 1st 2013 with sequester. The trap came back to bite him and he’s caught and is doing everything from blaming republicans to scare tactics on America. This is big and if true could be his blunder that if uncovered could impeach him. We have heard nothing from the media or talking heads, what are you thoughts?
“several hundred” ?…….was it not more like 38,000 ??
Osama Obama caught in his own trap. How nice! I don’t understand how this could bring on impeachment. He just needs to go!!
