White House was not involved in ICE's decision to release detainees
I'm not buying that for a minute. When doesn't the WH lie about their involvement?
The announcement comes after DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday warned about the potential impact of the cuts. She said the department “would not be able to maintain the detention beds as required by Congress.â€
A congress critter said that they had enough funding for 34,000 beds and that only 30,000 were full and that there wasn't any need to release any of them. They want a full report.
But according to ICE, they have been planning to do this.
