<p>Attorney General Eric Holder&#8217;s political extremism was a low point for his office, but <a href="%20Holder's View on Racial Profiling Too Extreme Even for Obama Inc.">he&#8217;s become too extreme even </a>for other figures in the administration who are themselves well left of center.</p>
<blockquote><p>The first major revisions of US racial profiling rules in over a decade required the African-American men who steer the United States government to check their own civil rights ideals against the demands of national defense.</p>
<p>But as federal officials prepared the new guidelines, three men steeped in civil rights history and tribulations – Attorney General Eric Holder, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, and President Obama – clashed over its breadth and impact.</p>
<p>Consequently, the rules, to be released only weeks before Holder leaves office, exempt large agencies, including the Transportation Safety Administration, which secures airports, and the Border Patrol, which secures the border, from having to ignore visual traits as objects of suspicion.</p>
<p>According to published reports, Mr. Johnson worried that eliminating profiling altogether could hurt national defense by handcuffing agents trying to infiltrate ethnic populations, including Hispanic and Islamic neighborhoods, more likely to include individuals threatening national security.</p>
<p>According to the Times, Holder believed border agents had no reason to consider race or ethnicity, but Johnson’s DHS pushed back against factors that could impede investigations involving illegal immigrants. DHS officials said, bottom line, that it was impractical to ignore people’s ethnicity while trying to do work at the border.</p></blockquote>
<p>Border security has mostly been dismantled under Obama and the TSA bends over backward to avoid profiling, but the TSA does function as a political firewall and Jeh Johnson doesn&#8217;t want a terrorist attack blamed on racial profiling rules. In this he&#8217;s showing more foresight than Holder who didn&#8217;t seem to care about the consequences at all.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Another change in prosecutorial "priorities" in the offing? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/dhs-secretary-jeh-johnson-president-barack-obama.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-224252" alt="dhs-secretary-jeh-johnson-president-barack-obama" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/dhs-secretary-jeh-johnson-president-barack-obama-427x350.jpg" width="299" height="245" /></a>Recently installed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is proving to be just as adept as his predecessor was at blindingly carrying out the destructive, lawless policies of the Obama administration.</p>
<p>This week the AP <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/22/us-weighs-curbing-deportations/">reported</a> that Secretary Johnson’s been considering changing the “priority list” at DHS’s immigration enforcement branch by giving amnesty to illegal aliens who have not committed “serious crimes.” It wasn’t specified what qualifies as “serious,” but those given a pass apparently would include illegal aliens who have re-entered the US after being deported before (currently a felony under federal law) as well as fugitives from immigration proceedings – A report also out this week from the Center for Immigration Studies says this latter group alone could number in the <a href="http://www.cis.org/justice-on-the-run">hundreds of thousands</a>.</p>
<p>This proposal to unilaterally change how immigration law is enforced comes after the Schumer-Rubio bill stalled in the House and mirrors the original Congress-defying amnesty Obama implemented in the lead up to the 2012 elections. It also shows that the new era of lawlessness we find ourselves in is apparently here to stay.</p>
<p>As the AP writes, “adjusting the department’s priorities for deportation” has become a new approach for this Administration. This is a reference to DHS’s newfound use of “prosecutorial discretion”, a tool manipulated by the Obama Administration to “adjust” our immigration laws in order to expand the number of future Democratic constituents. As Stanford law professor <a href="http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/facpubs/2195/">John Yoo</a> writes, &#8220;using &#8216;prosecutorial discretion&#8217; not to enforce statutes with which the President disagrees&#8221; has become his &#8220;preferred tool for domestic policy.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the immigration context, &#8220;prosecutorial discretion&#8221; has been used as weapon to weaken border and interior enforcement. For this, in part, we can thank the Republican leadership&#8217;s <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/12/obama-threatens-to-veto-bill-that-would-require-administration-to-enforce-laws/">almost</a> total lack of opposition to Obama’s amnesty plans.</p>
<p>Notwithstanding that a <a href="http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/04/25/court-slaps-down-obamas-amnesty-decree/">judge</a> recently called Obama’s 2012 administrative amnesty unconstitutional and illegal, anyone willing to look up the history of &#8220;prosecutorial discretion&#8221; will see just how cynical this administration is when it says it’s in the clear to retroactively &#8220;adjust&#8221; our immigration laws.</p>
<p>&#8220;Prosecutorial discretion,&#8221; or &#8220;deferred action&#8221; as it’s also known, is the general ability of any law enforcement agency to decline to arrest someone for minor infractions, such as jaywalking in the case of the police. Importantly, it’s not a policy entrenched in law; it’s an administrative directive or tool that’s meant to be applied, not broadly, but in minor and highly particular cases. For instance, in 1972, it was applied for the first time to <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20131006-u.s.-immigration-enforcements-prosecutorial-discretion-history-dates-back-to-john-lennon.ece">John Lennon</a> after his long struggle against deportation ordered by the Nixon administration. Later in the early eighties, the INS would grant deferred action to a select-few US citizen widows and widowers who were facing deportation.</p>
<p>In 2011, Jessica Vaughn from the Center for Immigration Studies in D.C., gave <a href="http://www.cis.org/vaughan/what-deferred-action">testimony</a> before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement, where she called &#8220;prosecutorial discretion&#8221; an “extraordinary tool” that due to its “lack of statutory guidelines makes it especially susceptible to abuse.”</p>
<p>One year after Ms. Vaughn’s testimony and soon after the DREAM Act was rejected by Congress for the <a href="https://www.numbersusa.com/content/files/Amended_Complaint.pdf">24<sup>th</sup> time</a>, Obama placated the open-borders lobby by telling DHS to apply &#8220;prosecutorial discretion&#8221; on a mass scale. In June 2012, he issued an Executive Order telling enforcement officials to stop arrests of illegal aliens under 30 and those who had arrived before they were adults, a group estimated to number around 800,000 and later adjusted upwards to <a href="https://cis.org/AdministrativeAmnesty">1.4 million</a>.</p>
<p>We know for a fact that our ex-law professor president understood that &#8220;prosecutorial discretion&#8221; had never before been applied on such a mass scale and that his Executive Order was way out-of-bounds legally. Immediately after the DREAM Act failed in 2011, Obama <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-i-cant-just-suspend-deportations-through-executive-order-there-are-laws-books_647283.html">told</a> a group of “immigration rights” activists that “[w]ith respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that&#8217;s just not the case… there are laws on the books that Congress has passed.” Of course, considering he’s done everything possible to weaken border enforcement, attacks state and local governments when they try to enforce federal law on their own, and lets holier-than-thou &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; cities ignore federal mandates to detain illegals, this really shouldn’t surprise.</p>
<p>In another critical law journal article about Obama’s illegal amnesty, <a href="http://cis.org/feere/law-profs-obamas-deferred-action-not-supported-constitution">Professor Yoo</a> asked, “[I]f a president can refuse to enforce a federal law against a class of 800,000 to 1.76 million, what discernible limits are there to prosecutorial discretion?” As we’ve seen with Secretary Johnson’s latest proposal, if our representatives fail to check the president, the limits to such lawlessness are unbound.</p>

<p>Just another reminder that <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/03/homeland-security-chief-swoons-over-terrorist-support-group-code-pink-asks-for-medea-benjamins-autograph/">Obama really has no opposition to the left</a>. Their only disagreement is the speed at which terrorists are enabled and national security is dismantled.</p>
<blockquote><p>Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson met with leaders of the terrorist support group Code Pink at Homeland Security headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Monday.</p>
<p>Code Pink’s allies since the group’s founding in 2002 have included Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, the Taliban, al Qaeda (various branches) and members of the Weather Underground. Code Pink has also allied itself with the terrorist governments of Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.</p>
<p>Code Pink is also allied with the Obama administration. Members of Code Pink’s leadership have fundraised and campaigned for Obama’s elections. They have also acted as a messenger between terrorists and President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Sec. Johnson, like Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, was a fundraising bundler for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.</p>
<p>Just this month Code Pink was blocked from aiding Hamas-controlled Gaza. Benjamin and dozens of international leftist and Islamist agitators were deported from Cairo by the Egyptian government as they tried to use Egypt as a means to enter Gaza.</p>
<p>Last summer Code Pink was in Yemen fundraising for family members of al Qaeda and detainees held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay.</p>
<p>In late 2004 Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and aid to what Benjamin called the families of “the other side” in Fallujah, Iraq as U.S. Marines, British and free Iraqi forces fought to liberate the city from al Qaeda.</p>
<p>Code Pink reported about the meeting with Sec. Johnson on their website blog the Pink Tank, saying the meeting lasted forty minutes.</p>
<p>Benjamin and McCracken write that the group was not searched in any manner upon entering Homeland Security headquarters: &#8220;To our amazement, while we had to show our IDs, no one ever searched us. No metal detectors, no looking through our bags—nothing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Searches are for Americans, not for the privileged elites of the left whose policies inflict them on others.</p>
