"This Court is quite concerned with the apparent policy of the Department of Homeland Security (hereinafter DHS) of completing the criminal mission of individuals who are violating the border security of the United States. Customs and Border Protection agents stopped the Defendant at the border inspection point. She was arrested, and the child was taken into custody. The DHS officials were notified that Salmeron Santos instigated this illegal conduct. Yet, instead of arresting Salmeron Santos for instigating the conspiracy to violate our border security laws, the DHS delivered the child to her thus successfully completing the mission of the criminal conspiracy. It did not arrest her. It did not prosecute her. It did not even initiate deportation proceedings for her. . . .
"The DHS, instead of enforcing our border security laws, actually assisted the criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals. . . . In summary, instead of enforcing the laws of the United States, the Government took direct steps to help the individuals who violated it [sic]. A private citizen would, and should, be prosecuted for this conduct.
"Judge Hannen went on to recount that this was the fourth case in as many weeks that followed this fact pattern. In each case, illegal-alien parents funded criminal conspiracies to smuggle their illegal-alien children into the country; in each case, Obamas DHS stopped the smugglers and the children at the border, yet instead of arresting the illegal-alien parents behind the scheme willfully perfected the conspiracy by doing what the smuggler had been illegally recruited to do: deliver the children to their illegal alien parents. The DHS, the court concluded, has simply chosen not to enforce the United States border security laws.
