Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests, Arizona Sheriff Says
[SNIP]
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 agencys 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.

I want to know WHOM and why...
Someone needs to be called on the carpet for this...
