Obama administration not allowing ICE to do its job

Center for Immigration Studies:
Immigration enforcement remains in a state of collapse, according to the official statistics released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today.


  • Total deportations by ICE (including both border and interior cases) declined 25% from last year, from 315,943 in 2014 to 235,413 in 2015.
  • Interior deportations by ICE declined 31% from last year, from 100,114 in 2014 to 69,478 in 2015.
  • Most concerning, deportations of criminal aliens from the interior declined 27% from last year, from 86,923 in 2014 to 63,127 in 2015.
  • The number of interior deportations is now less than one-third of what it was in 2011, before the Obama administration implemented policy changes that greatly restricted the types of cases that ICE officers and agents could pursue for deportation. The number of criminal alien deportations from the interior is less than half of what it was in 2011.


ICE Director Sarah Saldana said that she was "proud of the numbers" when she testified at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on December 2, 2015.

In a press release announcing the numbers today, DHS falsely says "the number of convicted criminals removed from the interior continued to increase." In fact, only the share of deportations that are of criminals has increased – the actual number has fallen, as noted above.
...
There is more.

Homeland Security under the Obama administration appears to be dedicated to thwarting the rule of law when it comes to immigration.  They attempt to hide behind obfuscations and the politics of fraud.
