The Place Where Ludington Talks
Finally, some one is taking a stand against the police state of Obama
ICE Agent Crane to Obama: “Mr. President, you’ve overstepped your boundaries.
It’s your job to enforce the law, it’s Congress’ job to enact the law.”
-
Last week, ICE union chief Chris Crane won a stunning initial court victory in his lawsuit against the Obama Administration. As we reported, Federal Judge Federal Judge Reed O’Connor told the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that they had no power to refuse to deport illegal aliens, and that he was likely to strike down Obama’s virtual “DACA” amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. The ruling stunned Washington, and Crane’s lawsuit (donations here) could derail Obama’s four-year effort to undermine immigration enforcement nationwide.
The final briefs in the case were filed today, and Judge O’Connor is expected to issue a final ruling this week. Meanwhile, a tired Crane – having traveled between Washington, D.C., Dallas and Salt Lake City in 48 hours – took to the airways on FoxNews’s Huckabee program, to tell Americans what the 7,200 ICE agents he represents want from their lawsuit (‘Crane v. Napolitano’)…
All we’re asking for is, one, some protection for our officers and agents, because currently this Administration threatens to fire our officers and agents who attempt to enforce the laws that we have on the books, so we’ve got to provide some protection for these law enforcement officers who are only trying to do their jobs.
Perhaps more importantly, we’re questioning the President of the United States. We’re saying ‘President of the United States, it’s your job to enforce the law, it’s Congress’ job to enact the law. And so, Mr. President, you’ve overstepped your boundaries‘.
And we’re hopeful that the judge will rule in favor on this, because it’s extremely important to our country and our way of government, that we get things back on track and put everyone back in their prospective places and let our law enforcement agents do their jobs.
Amen! Spoken in the clear, unflinching language of a former Marine.
We stand with Chris Crane and these brave ICE agents who are standing up against Obama lawless amnesty decree, and in defense of the rule of law.

It's a sad day in America when people hired to do the job of protecting our borders cannot do so because some bureaucrat says they can't, and risk a variety of reprisals if they are true to their oath of office and do their duties. Congrats Chris Crane for this victory, you'll probably be a lot more tired at the end of the road.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) entered a letter from law enforcement officials nationwide warning of the dangers of the immigration bill S.744 into the judiciary committee record today.
The letter To Congress from the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council of the American Federation of Government Employees Affiliated with AFL-CIO warns of the discretionary power the bill gives to “political appointees” and takes away from law enforcers:
“Congress can and must take decisive steps to limit the discretion of political appointees and empower ICE and CBP to perform their respective missions and enforce the laws enacted by Congress. Rather than limiting the power of those political appointees within DHS, S. 744 provides them with nearly unlimited discretion, which will serve only to further cripple the law enforcement missions of these agencies.”
They warn that the Senate immigration bill gives DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano “virtually unlimited discretion to waiver” prohibitions on obtaining legal status, such as criminal activity or previous deportation:
“This same section (Section 2101 of S. 744) gives the Secretary of Homeland Security virtually unlimited discretion to waive any manner of crimes that would otherwise make an individual ineligible for legal status––for such expansive reasons as family unity, humanitarian purposes, or what the Secretary believes is in the public interest.”
“At least two of these standards appear undefined by S. 744 or current law, providing political appointees with broad authority to establish their own definitions of these terms and pardon criminal acts under almost any circumstance.”
“The bill states that individuals who have previously been deported or otherwise removed from the country are ineligible to apply for legal status. However, the Secretary is given the 'sole and unreviewable discretion' to waive that ineligibility for large classes of qualifying aliens.”
The letter concludes that ICE officers would continue to be “powerless” to protect the public and do their jobs if the bill becomes law:
“If this legislation were enacted tomorrow, ICE officers would continue to be powerless to effectively enforce our nation’s laws and provide for public safety as S. 744 does nothing to end these dangerous agency- and department-level directives.”
