Folks... file this one under "Can you believe this
shit...?!?!"

The Obama administration has ordered federal agents
responsible for protecting one of the nation’s busiest and most crime-infested
regions near Mexico to stop apprehending drunk drivers, according to an
internal government memo that also concedes an officer that elects to detain
them is “acting within the course and scope of his employment.”
* A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO CONTEMPLATE WHAT YOU'VE JUST
READ...
(*PURSED LIPS*)
Obtained by Judicial Watch this week, the notice is
titled “Enforcement Options With Alcohol-Impaired Drivers” and directs the
4,000-plus U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Tucson, Arizona sector to “release”
individuals under the influence and “allow them to go on their way.”
* WOW... OBAMA... THE NATION'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE... AGAIN
CAUGHT RED-HANDED CONSPIRING (AND ACTING) TO VIOLATE STATE/COUNTY/LOCAL LAW.
* WHAT... A... PIECE... OF... ABSOLUTE... GARBAGE...
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.”
* GEEZUS... AND THESE ARE THE SCUM RUNNING OUR COUNTRY!
* ANY "MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING" READING
THIS...?!?!
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.”
* WOW... JUST... WOW...
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.
* BUT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE... AVOID GETTING INVOLVED AND
CERTAINLY DON'T ACT PROACTIVELY!
(*SMIRK*)
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 Sector covers 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 front line
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.
