ICE Agents Sue Napolitano for Ordering Them to 'Violate Federal Law' | CNSNews.com
.Ten U.S. immigration agents are suing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton over a directive that commands ICE officers to violate federal law.
Were not enforcing law any more, said Chris Crane, an ICE deportation officer and president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council. It is pretty much just let everyone go, he told reporters during a conference call on Thursday.
Crane and nine other ICE agents filed their lawsuit in federal court in Dallas on Thursday.
They are seeking an injunction to block Napolitanos June 15, 2012 directive, which instructs ICE officers to refrain from deporting most illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children.
"The Directive," says the lawsuit, "commands ICE officers to violate federal law ... commands ICE officers to violate their oaths to uphold and support federal law, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, unconstitutionally usurps and encroaches upon the legislative powers of Congress, as defined in Article I of the United States Constitution, and violates the obligation of the executive branch to faithfully execute the law, as required by Article II, Section 3, of the United States Constitution
