First Time in History President Has Affected Public Safety of All Americans

◼ AZ Sheriff: Obama Administration “Knowingly Lied” to US About Releasing Criminal Illegals (Video) - Jim Hoft/Gateway Pundit

Last year the Obama administration assured Congress and the public that the 2,200 people it freed from immigration jails to save money had only minor criminal records.

It was not true.

On Wednesday USA Today reported that Obama immigration officials released illegal immigrants who had faced serious criminal charges, including people charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, drug trafficking and homicide.

On Thursday Judge Andrew Napolitano condemned the irresponsible and dangerous move.

“The president releases people from a jail who have a record of violence, a criminal conviction of violence. It’s the first time in my memory in knowledge of modern American history… that the President of the United States has affirmatively, in a negative way, affected the public safety of the average American. I just don’t understand what kind of a possible justification, he or Josh Earnest could give for that.”

Where are the whistleblowers? Babeu told Jeanine Pirro that “several memos had been sent out to ICE agents about the prisoner releases, and anyone who talked about it “outside our agency shall be disciplined up to and including termination, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.” He said, “these federal agents, who swore an oath to protect our country, are being intimidated from doing the right thing.”

But Jay Carney and ICE Chief John Morton insisted the released detainees were “low risk” and “non-criminal” – and the MSM apparently took their word for it, because that outrageous scandal – like so many other outrageous scandals – simply disappeared from the news.

So now, all these months later, the truth comes out.

The records, obtained by USA TODAY, show immigration officials released some undocumented immigrants who had faced far more serious criminal charges, including people charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, drug trafficking and homicide.
