An internal DHS memo obtained by Judicial Watch this week titled “Enforcement Options With Alcohol-Impaired Drivers” directs U.S. Border Patrol agents in Tucson, AZ to “release” individuals driving under the influence and “allow them to go on their way.”
From disarming Border Patrol agents, to telling them to let as many illegal border crossers go as possible, Obama has converted law enforcement officals at the border to nothing more than butlers for illegal immigrants.
The document acknowledges that this feels counter-intuitive for Border Patrol agents, but eases concerns by answering a hypothetical question for the officers who have sworn to uphold the law: “If you allow this driver to continue down the road and they kill someone, aren’t you liable?” The answer is no, according to the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo. “There is no legal requirement for a Border Patrol agent to intervene in a state crime, including DUI,” the order says, adding that “therefore there is generally no liability that will attach to the agent or agency for failing to act in this situation.”
The directive offers another scenario—detaining the impaired individual at the request of state or local law enforcement officers (LEO). “There is no duty to detain the alcohol-impaired individual,” the memo says, “but if you do this option can raise potential liability for the agent and the agency.” The document goes on to say that Border Patrol policy is to cooperate with local and state law enforcement officers who alert of suspected violations under state law. That means the agent would be considered to have been acting within the course and scope of his employment while detaining a drunk driver at the request of local law enforcement officers under Arizona law, the document confirms.
The last scenario offered in the recently issued decree has a Border Patrol agent detaining a drunk driver in Arizona without a request from a state or local law enforcement officer. “This option poses the greatest liability for both the agent and the agency,” according to the order. After revealing that private citizens in Arizona can make felony and misdemeanor arrests, it nevertheless prompts Border Patrol agents to stay away from drunk drivers. “Be advised, this option poses the greatest threat to an agent for a civil lawsuit,” the memo warns.
This preposterous order has not been well received by agents, according to Judicial Watch’s sources inside the agency. The Border Patrol Tucson Sectorcovers 262 miles along the Mexican border and is one of the country’s busiest in both illegal immigrant apprehensions and marijuana seizures, according to the agency website. During fiscal year 2014 the Tucson Sector Border Patrol recorded 87,915 apprehensions that included members of notorious international gangs and felons convicted of serious crimes such homicide, rape and child molestation. Agents also seized 971,180 pounds of marijuana as well as large quantities of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines.
As a whole, the Border Patrol is the critical frontline Homeland Security agency charged with preventing terrorists and weapons—including those of mass destruction—from entering the United States. Its primary mission is to protect the nation by reducing the likelihood that dangerous people and capabilities slip into the country through our many ports of entry. It’s beyond belief that the Obama administration has asked the federal officers tasked with this important duty to turn the other way when they encounter a drunk driver.
Why
Yes he is killing our country. Democrats need to get on the same page as the Republicans and get rid of the president.
Believe it or not it’s still illegal to kill other human beings.
You expect people to READ, and THINK…..like that will ever happen.
Obama is way out of is authority here. Let the people do their job.
Remember that during the obama reign of hate and racism and anti-Americanism and Anti-freedom and Antisemitism that obama committed terrible deeds in the name of allah.
obama has failed the entire free world. He is an embarrassment and disgrace to all humanity.
He is a TRAITOR working to destroy the USA. And congress is ALLOWING it, against Americans wishes.
The moslem terrorists are undoubtedly planning another attack on the USA.
And obama has put moslem terrorist leaders in top defense, security and intelligence positions in the US to assist in coordinating these moslem terrorist attacks on America.
THESE moslem TERRORISTS are obombas “moslem brothers” that he THANKS and provides with US arms and money.
obama HATES Americans and America – the entire United States, the west, Jews, England, freedom, liberty, and all we stand for.
Watch Dinesh D’Souza’s obama’s America.
islam is the religion of oppression, murder, torture, atrocities on humanity, sex enslavement, rape, pedophilia, child molestation, lying and goat fuxxing.
You know the difference between a moderate moslem and a radical one? The radical moslem wants to chop your head off. The moderate moslem doesn’t want to chop your head off. He wants the radical one to do it.

obama: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
He is using debt as a weapon of mass destruction to weaken America as a a global superpower, disarming our nuclear arsenal AND our entire military, to leave us broken, defenseless, impoverished and destroyed – The next third world country.
THAT is o-BOMB-a’s legacy to America.
He IS a FAILURE – malignant, malevolent and EVIL – and Congress MUST STOP HIM NOW.
You can’t be serious

Why do we need Border Control Agents?
FINALLY!! Someone gets it.
