On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and five of his deputies were called on the carpet by Judge Andrew Hanen for violating his court order blocking President Obama's executive amnesty with the possibility of holding them in contempt. Johnson and his deputies were ordered to appear before the court on August 19. But Hanen left open the possibility of cancelling the summons if the government had remedied the situation by July 31 (believe you me, don't count on it).
After Hanen's ruling in February, the HSC issued 2,000 three year work permits to illegal immigrants in accordance to the amnesty order. When Hanen asked why they had issued these permits contrary to the injunction, the government claimed the issuance of these permits was purely accidental. Hanen gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered them to revoke the permits. But lo and behold, they never did and have yet to. In an advisory hearing on May 7, the Government admitted that it had blatantly violated the injunction.
"This Court has expressed its willingness to believe that these actions were accidental and not done purposefully to violate this Court’s order. Nevertheless, it is shocked and surprised at the cavalier attitude the Government has taken with regard to its 'efforts' to rectify this situation ...The Government has conceded that it has directly violated this Court’s Order in [the government's] May 7, 2015 advisory, yet, as of today, two months have passed since the Advisory and it has not remediated its own violative behavior. That is unacceptable and, as far as the Government’s attorneys are concerned, completely unprofessional."
If there needed to be any evidence to show the blatant lawlessness of this Government, look no further. Similar defiance of the law by so called "sanctuary cities" has already led to the death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.
