House Judiciary Committee Discovers Another Way DHS Cooks the Books
"The House Judiciary Committee has obtained internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, which show that the Obama administration is cooking the books to achieve their so-called 'record' deportation numbers for illegal immigrants and that removals are actually significantly down - not up - from 2009," the House Judiciary Committee says in a press release.
"Beginning in 2011, the Committee has learned that Obama administration officials at the Department of Homeland Security started to include numbers from the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP) in its year-end removal numbers. The ATEP is a joint effort between ICE and Customs and Border Protection that transfers illegal immigrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border to another point along the Southwest border for removal."
