Obama tries to make a point by releasing inmates even before cuts take place.

He needs their 5 votes a piece for the 2014 elections.

Never waste the opportunity to invent a crisis, and exploit it, seems to be the rule.

They are too busy trying to figure out how to defend Obama's threatening members of the press who go against him. Even Nixon, during Watergate, didn't threaten Woodward but the thugs in the White House did when he told the truth about their lies and political tactics which make this country less safe. What a disgrace this administration is.

From the article:

"“As fiscal uncertainty remains over the continuing resolution and possible sequestration, ICE has reviewed its detained population to ensure detention levels stay within ICE’s current budget,” Christensen said in a statement. “Over the last week, ICE has reviewed several hundred cases and placed these individuals on methods of supervision less costly than detention.

“All of these individuals remain in removal proceedings,” Christensen added. “Priority for detention remains on serious criminal offenders and other individuals who pose a significant threat to public safety.”

The illegals were granted supervised release, under which defendants in immigration cases must abide by a strict reporting schedule that might include attending appointments at regional ICE offices and telephone and electronic monitoring, Christensen said."

From another:

"....The Obama administration has repeatedly said it will apply more prosecutorial discretion to immigration, releasing immigrants deemed low-priority so it can focus resources on those who are potentially dangerous or otherwise a high priority. The administration also implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has so far allowed more than 150,000 undocumented young people -- often called Dreamers -- to stay in the United States, work legally and drive.

According to ICE, the administration has increased the proportion of criminal immigrants it has expelled, while setting a record for deportations overall..."

I thought everyone was on board with cutting spending?

Startling isn't it? I guess the WH threatening the press is OK with resident libs. This goes back to his original campaign though. Don't tell them things they don't want to hear or you will be blacklisted

I guess the 1rst amendment has equal footing as the 2nd in the eyes of this Admin.
