WASHINGTON
The Homeland Security Department released from its jails more than 2,000 illegal immigrants facing deportation in recent weeks due to looming budget cuts and planned to release 3,000 more during March, The Associated Press has learned.

The newly disclosed figures, cited in internal budget documents reviewed by the AP, are significantly higher than the "few hundred" illegal immigrants the Obama administration acknowledged this week had been released under the budget-savings process.

The government documents show that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement released roughly 1,000 illegal immigrants from its jails around the U.S. each week since at least Feb. 15. The agency's field offices have reported more than 2,000 immigrants released before intense criticism this week led to a temporary shutdown of the plan, according to the documents.

The states where immigrants were released include Arizona, California, Georgia and Texas.

The White House has said it was not consulted about the releases, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has acknowledged they occurred in a manner she regrets. White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday said the government had released "a few hundred" of the roughly 30,000 illegal immigrants held in federal detention pending deportation proceedings. Carney said the immigrants released were "low-risk, noncriminal detainees," and the decision was made by career ICE officials.

As of last week, the agency held an average daily population of 30,733 in its jails. The internal budget documents reviewed by the AP show the Obama administration had intended to reduce those figures to 25,748 by March 31.

Everyone should start u sing liberal tactics to make things seem not as bad, like libs do with illegal aliens by calling them "immigrants". Rape should be referred to as a "surprise sex". I wonder how liberals would feel about that.

Just like Barack Obama, Nicolae Ceausescu, Saddam Hussein, and Fidel Castro also released criminal prisoners.

In the lead-up to the sequester cuts, the Obama Administration released 2,000 criminal illegals this week from detention camps. The plan on releasing 3,000 more in March.

Our jails are already BADLY overcrowded. At every level, local, state, federal. But especially local and state jails. Overcrowded and understaffed.

Would right wingers be willing to raise taxes to pay for bigger jails and more jail staff?

Or, would right wingers be willing to legalize weed, and basically cut 20% of our jail population with that alone?

Or, would the right wingers rather do neither of the above, and keep letting criminals go free with easy bonds, shorter sentences, and then bitch about criminals not getting the punishment they deserve?

Stupid rednecks. You cant have it both ways.

Oblamer seems to have it both ways.
Between Oblamer and Moochelle they've racked up nearly the $85 billion in living expenses. So maybe if they cut down using Air Force one as their personal taxi we could save money. Then he cries like Henny Penny that the sky is falling and its like the Mayan doomsday that never happened, unless Oblamer and his cronies make it happen.
