On Thursday, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, informed the immigration subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have been told to release illegal immigrants and eschew ordering them to appear at deportation hearing.
Judd stated, “We might as well abolish our immigration laws altogether,” adding that the reason the Obama Administration changed the policy out of “embarrassment” that only roughly half of illegals ordered to appear in court follow through. He continued, “The willful failure to show up for court appearances by persons that were arrested and released by the Border Patrol has become an extreme embarrassment for the Department of Homeland Security. It has been so embarrassing that DHS and the U.S. attorney’s office has come up with a new policy,”
