The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies have the last say in who should be deported and who should not. But if they don’t follow priorities set by President Barack Obama’s administration, illegal immigrants are encouraged to tell on them. This doesn’t sit well with the Border Patrol union which says the priorities undermine the work of its members.
DHS’s Customs and Border Protection, which oversees Border Patrol, sent a message to stakeholders last week advising illegal immigrants of a hotline they can use to file a complaint if they believe they are slated for deportation even if they are not a priority target, Washington Times reported.
The National Border Patrol Council, Border Patrol agents union, kicked up a storm about it on Friday.
