Whistleblower: Obama admin knew gang members were part of illegal immigrant surge
2017-05-25
[Wash Times] The Obama administration knowingly let in at least 16 admitted MS-13 gang members who arrived at the U.S. as illegal immigrant teenagers in 2014, a top senator said Wednesday, citing internal documents that showed the teens were shipped to juvenile homes throughout the country.

Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said a whistleblower turned over Customs and Border Protection documents from 2014 detailing the 16 people who were caught crossing the border.

"CBP apprehended them, knew they were MS-13 gang members, and they processed and disbursed them into our communities," Mr. Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said.
CBP surely responding to some DoJ directive or other. Could we possibly be provided copies ?
The gang members were part of the surge of UAC, or "unaccompanied alien children," as the government labels them, who overwhelmed the Obama administration in 2014, leaving Homeland Security struggling to staunch the flow from Central America.

Officials at the time said the children should be treated as refugees fleeing horrific conditions back home -- though security analysts said the children were prime recruiting territory for gangs already in the U.S.

#1  Given that, as I recall, MS-13 was started by illegal alien youths deported from the U.S., this is ironic. Discussed here at the time, but ironic.

Poor Mr. Obama hasn't been given much time to bask in the glow of his imaginary historical presidential triumphs. I'm impressed.
