Agents' Union Disavows Leaders Of ICE

by Jerry Seper - August 9th, 2010 - The Washington Times

The union that represents rank-and-file field agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has unanimously passed a "vote of no confidence" for the agency's leadership, saying ICE has "abandoned" its core mission of protecting the public to support a political agenda favoring amnesty.

The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 7,000 ICE agents and employees, voted 259-0 for a resolution saying there was "growing dissatisfaction and concern" over the leadership of Assistant Secretary John Morton, who heads ICE, and Phyllis Coven, assistant director for the agency's office of detention policy and planning.

The resolution said ICE leadership had "abandoned the agency's core mission of enforcing U.S. immigration laws and providing for public safety," instead directing its attention "to campaigning for programs and policies related to amnesty and the creation of a special detention system for foreign nationals that exceeds the care and services provided to most U.S. citizens similarly incarcerated.

Obama sure has great plans for ICE. It is going to become the reparations agency for Mexicans, Hispanics and Latinos. Please note. The vote by the union leadership was UNANIMOUS against these two appointees! None of the agency union leadership agrees with the Obama agenda. NONE. Is there any doubt the vast majority of these public employees are Democrats? And yet the opposition to Obama is still unanimous. I guess I will have to concede there are still some Democrats who are not traitors.
