House investigators learned Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials developed plans to release about 5,000 illegal immigrant detainees, although Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has denied responsibility for the decision.

“An internal document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee shows that Administration officials at ICE prepared cold calculations to release thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets and did not demonstrate any consideration of the impact this decision would have on the safety of Americans,” committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., announced.

The ICE document contains a table that proposes “reduc[ing] invoiced daily population by 1,000 weekly.” Between February 22 and March 31st, this plan would drop the number of detainees from 30,748 to 25,748.

In recent news it was brought to public attention concerning Immigration & Customs Enforcement releasing thousands of illegal aliens from custody into non-disclosed locations & in non-disclosed numbers throughout areas of Arizona, California, Georgia and Texas. A stunning move of enormous intentional negligence when you consider the risk of potential hazards to the safety & security of so many American’s across such sweeping regions of geography & given that the accusation has since surfaced descrying the reasoning behind this premeditated move as rooted in clandestine political motives. Which demands the following question to be asked:

DHS Official: Fine, Maybe We Could Have Cut Costs Without Releasing Aggravated Felons

Democrats' sequester tower of terror continues to collapse, floor by floor. Amidst the media fact checks and stomach-turning posturing, Republican members of Congress are using hearings to hold bureaucrats' feet to the fire over the claims and actions of their departments. Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) blew the cover off of the administration's duplicity on supposed cuts to pediatric vaccinations a few weeks ago; yesterday, it was South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy's turn at bat. Watch as he grills a Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary as to why his team released ten "level 1" aggravated felons from federal custody, supposedly due to sequester cuts:
