Disgrace: DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson Has No Idea Who Kate Steinle Is

By Katie Pavlich, July 14, 2015 Red Alert Politics

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified on Capitol Hill today about a series of ongoing immigration, illegal immigration and security issues. When asked about whether the Obama administration had reached out to the family of Kate Steinle, the 32-year-old woman who was killed in San Francisco two weeks ago by an illegal alien who had been deported five times, Johnson had no idea who she was.

"Has the administration reached out to the Steinle family, to your knowledge?" Rep. Steve Chabot asked Johnson.

"To who?" Johnson replied.

"To the family of the woman who brutally murdered by this individual who had committed seven different felonies in four different states and to my understanding had been deported, kept coming back, has the administration reached out to that family?" Chabot asked again.

Anonymous Issued Cryptic Tweet On Eve Of NYSE Suspension

By Jesse Byrnes July 8, 2015, The Hill

International hacking group Anonymous wished Wall Street ill the night before the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended trading on all securities.

New York trading was suspended around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday due to a "technical issue," the exchange said in a statement posted to Twitter.

The Department of Homeland Security said there was no indication the NYSE had been hacked, according to Bloomberg and CNN. The exchange said the glitch could not be attribute to "a cyber breach."

"The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach," it said in another statement. "We chose to suspend trading on NYSE to avoid problems arising from our technical issue. NYSE-listed securities continue to trade unaffected on other market centers."

The White House said President Obama had been briefed on the issue. Earlier in the day, United Airlines briefly grounded all of its flights due to a systemwide failure.

Anonymous has previously targeted Wall Street and made headlines in 2011 when it threatened to "destroy" the New York Stock Exchange.

Obama Administration Scales Back Deportations In Policy Shift

By Jerry Markon, Jul. 2, 2015, Washington Post

The Obama administration has begun a profound shift in its enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws, aiming to hasten the integration of long-term illegal immigrants into society rather than targeting them for deportation, according to documents and federal officials.

In recent months, the Department of Homeland Security has taken steps to ensure that the majority of the United States’ 11.3 million undocumented immigrants can stay in this country, with agents narrowing enforcement efforts to three groups of illegal migrants: convicted criminals, terrorism threats or those who recently crossed the border.

While public attention has been focused on the court fight over President Obama’s highly publicized executive action on immigration, DHS has with little fanfare been training thousands of immigration agents nationwide to carry out new policies on everyday enforcement.

Do H-1B Visas Steal Jobs From American Workers? 

By Casey Logan, Jun. 19, 2015, News-Press.com

Ever heard of Hertz, Chico's FAS, FGCU or LeeMemorial Health System?

Those are among the dozens of companies doing business in Southwest Florida to seek employees through H-1B work visas, with the number of workers on these visas in the region appearing to be in the hundreds.

The visa is designed to be used for foreign workers in "specialty occupations," which require highly specialized knowledge, but that can be misleading.

The occupation list includes architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social science, biotech, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts.

Other recognizable businesses in Southwest Florida to apply for these visas include 21st Century Oncology, Algenol Biofuels, Arthrex and NeoGenomics.

Employers with jobs in the tech sector tend to use these visas more than any other and workers from India more than any other country are using them.

Homeland Security Looks For Leaker Of Report On Airport-Checkpoint Failures 

By Ashley Halsey III, Jun. 9, 2015, Washington Post

The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that he is investigating the leak of classified information from an undercover operation in which investigators were able to slip through airport security with weapons and phony bombs more than 95 percent of the time.

“We have started an investigation to determine where the leak was,” Inspector General John Roth told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

The information received widespread attention in the news media and on Capitol Hill. Roth told the panel that he had briefed top officials about his findings without the information leaking to the public.

“I was as disturbed as anyone that this information got into the media,” he said.

He declined to discuss in Tuesday’s public hearing any aspect of the investigation, in which auditors from his department were able to carry weapons or bomb-like material through air­port-security checkpoints in 67 of 70 attempts this year.
