ICE Criminal Investigators Ask to Be Distanced from Detentions, Deportations in Letter to .. Nielsen

Source: Texas Observer

Nearly 20 ICE regional supervisors say the agency’s controversial detention and deportation policies have made it hard for them to conduct investigations into threats to national security.

In a letter sent last week, 19 special agents in charge at ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations unit said that ICE’s controversial detention and deportation policies have made it hard for them to conduct investigations into threats to national security, organized crime, narcotics smuggling and human trafficking.

“HSI’s investigations have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security,” the special agents in charge wrote in the previously unreported letter.

They also wrote that “the perception of HSI’s investigative independence is unnecessarily impacted by the political nature” of ICE’s immigration enforcement. “Many jurisdictions continue to refuse to work with HSI because of a perceived linkage to the politics of civil immigration.”

"HSI’s investigations have been perceived as targeting undocumented aliens, instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes impacting our communities and national security,”


instead of the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate cross border crimes

The crimes directly committed by Trump, his brand, his hotels & properties, his family, his global crime syndicate of multinational mobsters.

Money laundering, human trafficking & exploitation of women & underage children, drugs, weapons, & murder.

He wants an open door flow-thru for the criminal enterprise he belongs to.
Every move he makes is for the benefit, building & profiting of his international mob family

This has nothing to do with protecting America, its citizens nor its borders.
