Tense Exchange Erupts After Rep. Trey Gowdy Goes After DHS, ICE for Releasing ‘Aggravated Felons’ Due to Sequestration

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-SC. Credit: AP
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) grilled ICE Director John Morton and DHS officials about the release of thousands of illegal immigrants from detention, including Level I violators (aggravated felons). The Obama administration has claimed that sequestration forced them to release the detainees.
“What is a Level I violator?” Gowdy asked Morton.
“First, obviously I disagree about your characterization about these being–” Morton began.
“That’s fine. You can use your time to disagree with my characterization, don’t use mine. What is a Level I violator,” Gowdy shot back.
Morton explained Level I violators are “aggravated felons.” He added that eight Level I violators were released, but after faulty computer records and a “mistake,” four were put back into detention.
“If it’s $122 a day to house four Level I aggravated felons, then releasing them saves you, what, about $600 a day?” Gowdy pressed. “You can’t find $600 anywhere else in your budget?” He did not get a straight answer to the question.
When asked who made the decision to release the detainees, Morton said ICE Executive Associate Director Gary Mead made the call. However, Morton argued that to the best of his knowledge, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was not part of the decision to release the illegal immigrants.
“If the release of aggravated felons does not rise to the level of something that the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security should know about, what does rise to that level?” Gowdy said.
“Listen, we release people everyday…We release thousands of people every month,” Morton replied, later admitting that “many” illegal immigrants who are repeat DUI offenders have also been released.

As an aside, $122 for four inmates for a year (365.25 days) comes out to $178,242, or $44,560 per inmate for the year. It costs more than I make in a year to keep one of those bums in prison? I can pay for a (small) house, groceries, gas money, insurance, food and veterinary care for my dogs, and has some left over to save on less than that.
Insanity. Inexcusable. I cannot conceive how it would cost so much money on a daily basis.

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 5:24pmHe was only needing $600.00 a day!..If Obama and Moscow just stopped all the fancy vacations stayed at Camp David and their personal homes like Bush did and stop all those golf games they could save $60,000 a day. Obama made the Guiness book of records with his 113 games of golf in 4 years over any previous sitting president. He is on par to set a record for any president in a 8 years also.

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 5:29pmreply to : ALEXANDRA STORMWING
The proper reference is not how much it costs to keep someone in prison, but how much it costs to let him/her go free. How many homes does a professional burglar raid in a year? How many rapes does a serial rapist commit in 4 years? A tiny percentage of the population is responsible for most of the crime in this country. If you lock up that 1%, and crime drops 90%, how much money does that save?

While John McCain also attacked Senator Paul, at least McCain had the courage to apologize publically to Sen. Paul. RINO SUPREME Graham didn’t.

Posted on March 20, 2013 at 1:54amI like Gowdy as well. I should considering I voted for him. He was swept into office in 2010 with Tea Party support. Jeff Duncan is another good man from SC in a neighboring district. He doesn’t get the committee and chair assignments that Gowdy does.
A word of caution on Congressman Gowdy though. He has a good reputation in our community. Former prosecutor as you can probably tell. Good guy. However, he is a lawyer, don’t forget that. Also, he is highlighting the administration’s endangering the public for political gain for GOP leadership. He did that quite well. So this was a political exercise for leadership which is just fine and necessary. It needed to be pointed out. That’s why he did it with the contention of a fiery prosecutor so that it would get attention. All normal politics but it tells me he plays well with leadership and COULD be susceptible to fall in line with the progressives in the GOP. Just need to be watchful. Although, quite frankly we should all keep on eye on all of our representatives.

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 5:08pmMr. Jones, you sir are properly convinced. Bah Rahk, or however you would like to spell his name, as he has bad several aliases, a fraudulent social security number, still to be produced genuine birth certificate and numerous other sealed records from various universities and passports, etc., all of which should have been made available from any person seeking the highest office in the land, is still an unknown character of unknown quantity, but he certainly has identified himself as an avowed enemy of our Republican form of government, our Constitution and the freedoms, liberties, values and property rights that we have enjoyed for over 225 years. In other words, Mr. Jones, we have a usurper in the White House, who engages in prolific lying, deception, fraud and cowardice at the drop of a hat and with no thought of any potential recompense to himself for his destructive ways.
This long legged Mac Daddy, to use a term borrowed from a conservative black Pastor, needs to be confronted for who and what he is and for what he is not and removed from the office for which he truly has no right, title nor valid interest.
Unfortunately, as if this 21st day of March 2013 we have yet to discover an authority with any inherent power to confront this narcisisstic megalomaniac and initiate whatever proceedings that are necessary to expose him and remove him.

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 10:28pmWhen someone makes a mistake. Okay. Give him/her the benefit of the doubt.
However, even if the president and his cronies were complete fools, they’d make a correct decision once in awhile! It IS quite clear they are systematically destroying what remains of the United States; intentionally, deliberately and unrelentingly. I’ve argued vehemently against the need for any kind of real resistance – for fear of the unimaginable damage to property, citizens’ lives and the nation as a whole. However, there comes a time when such arguments become self-defeating and I’m quickly coming to feel that something – something truly “radical” – will soon need to be done to save our beloved constitutional Republic.
As Edmund Burke said, “All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” If you know a more appropriate quote for our times, please, share it – ‘cuz I sure don’t. Although, I suppose Jefferson’s “The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” fits our times nicely, as well. After all, even Ghandi admitted he’d have used force (rather than pacifism), if only the British had been kind enough to allow his countrymen arms!
Thank God that, for now anyway, obtaining arms won’t be a problem. For how much longer remains to be seen.

Posted on March 20, 2013 at 6:35amIt probably hasn’t occurred to anyone that Congressmen Gowdy is a former firebrand prosecutor with the perfect skill set to verbally harangue mid level bureaucrats. I know you like to hear someone like Gowdy loudly highlight the administration’s endangering of the public for political gain as do I. And it was necessary. It is likely he did this at the behest of leadership. I’m almost certain. Nothing wrong with that.
But it seems as though he plays well with leadership and that scares me a little. Especially since I voted for him. Gowdy has a good reputation in the community and seems like a good man which is all the more reason to keep an eye on him. Congressman Jeff Duncan is in a neighboring district, strong conservative, good guy but he doesn’t get the committee assignments like Gowdy does. In fact I know he’s on Baner’s (not bothering to spell his name correctly) naughty list.

Posted on March 19, 2013 at 3:51pmObama is a traitor and dangerous to the safety of citizens of the U.S. He has shown his contempt for this country in so many ways and his sequestration priorities are just another example of this. Yea, keep sending money to the mb to kill our soldiers, put criminals out in the streets of America. Where are the congressmen that have the guts to call this devil out on his unamerican activities. Instead, we the law abiding tax payers are the bad guys. This is sickening. Impeach Obama now!!!
