Hands Cuffed: Customs and Enforcement People

hands cuffed: For so long, the people at ICE and CBP had their hands cuffed behind them, according to Hamilton Spectator. The Obama administration had so many exceptions for who could be adjudicated that it made it very difficult for the customs and enforcement people to do their job and enforce the laws of this country. President Donald Trump's press secretary made a claim about two agencies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection. Whatever constraints agents might have faced, they deported more than 2 million immigrants during the eight years Obama was in office, more than in previous administrations. Republican lawmakers and some ICE officials did complain that they were directed to ignore some immigrants found living in the country illegally if they didn't have serious criminal histories or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety. They sent back 409,000 in 2012 alone, a record. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
