The release of hundreds of illegal immigrants into a federal monitoring system this week may be an ongoing headache for the Obama administration, as Republicans focus their scrutiny on uncovering potential missteps.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, “will be aggressively examining the ramification of this decision,” according to a committee aide.
And Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.), the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security, pressed Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to take more responsibility for the releases, which she says she did not know about beforehand.
“I am concerned that you have chosen to distance yourself from the actions of ICE,” said Coats in a letter to Napolitano on Friday. “As Secretary of Homeland Security, you have a responsibility to oversee the proper management of the department’s resources. I believe you should have been on top of this situation and taken steps far earlier to prevent this action.”
Napolitano will undoubtedly be pressed on the issue when she comes to testify on cybersecurity next Wednesday before Rep. Mike McCaul’s (R-Texas) House Homeland Security Committee. ICE Director John Morton promised to answer McCaul’s letter to him earlier this week in which he raised questions about exactly how many detainees had been released and what tools ICE was using to track illegal immigrants, a committee aide said.

"The release of hundreds of illegal immigrants into a federal monitoring system this week may be an ongoing headache for the Obama administration,"
The numbers are in the thousands. This downplays the facts to make it acceptable as only a few hundred released on a system of over worked bureaucrats. Released Into very high crime rated regions of our States and Nation, where citizens can barely find employment and pay for their lives and are now helping pay federal benefits for illegal entrants.All the while leaving the border region under staffed, even unguarded, to allow even more to come in. Seems really bright and well thought out when you look at it like that.
IF OUR CONGRESS DIDN'T HAVE SUCH WEAK SPINES THEY COULD TRY BARRY SOETORO obama ON JUST THE FEDERAL CRIMES THAT HE HAS COMMITTED. WHERE IS THE FBI WHERE IS ERIC HOLDER THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US FROM CRIMINALS?? EVERY BODY WORRIES WHERE HE WAS BORN IT''S THAT HIS FATHER WAS NOT A CITIZEN AND THAT HE LOST HIS CITIZEN SHIP WHEN HE WAS ADOPTED BY THE SOETORO FAMILY.
Your asking for Holder and the FBI to go after Obutthole.your asking for a lot the only ones Holder goes after are the states who enforce federal laws on illegal aliens.
I hope it haunts this creep if somebody dies because he gave the orders to release these illegal alien hordes on society.
