Title: Arizona Sheriff Says Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests
Post by: Fury on April 01, 2011, 09:40:07 AM

(Fox Nation)- An Arizona sheriff says U.S. Border Patrol officials have repeatedly told him they have been ordered to reduce — at times even stop — arrests of illegal immigrants caught trying to cross the U.S. border.

Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona’s southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods.

“The senior supervisor agent is telling me about how their mission is now to scare people back,” Dever said in an interview with FoxNews.com. “He said, ‘I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away. … They were not to catch anyone, arrest anyone. Their job was to set up posture, to intimidate people, to get them to go back.”

Dever said his recent conversation with the Border Patrol supervisor was the latest in a series of communications on the subject that he has had with various federal agents over the last two years. Dever said he plans to relay the substance of these conversations when he testifies under oath next month before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

There's a shocker. Almost as shocking as 5,000 non-citizens voting in Colorado's elections.  ::)

Governor Brewer prefers to dedicate state resources toward dealing with actual problems like beheadings which are reportedly occuring in AZ at an alarming rate.

Stunning contribution from the board's #1 RINO troll.

I didn't know federal agents answered to Brewer.  ::)

Brewer was proven correct on her claim.   Another 240 backfire.
