The Obama administration is reorganizing the federal agency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus less on illegal alien deportations and more on criminal investigations and other duties.
“Officials hope to highlight the agency’s counterterrorism, money laundering and other complex criminal investigations and in the process ‘re-brand’ ICE, turning the public — and political — spotlight away from its immigration work,” the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
A major thrust of the reorganization, which includes streamlining and renaming several offices, is to change public perception of the agency. Many Americans believe ICE is devoted strictly to dealing with illegal immigrants, but “half of the agency is devoted to something else,” said ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton.

I'm more worried about "charity" front groups wiring money to terrorists overseas and extremists sneaking in the country than Paco coming over to mow my lawn
More stupid antics from the Obama administration....trying, at every opportunity, to stop the enforcement of our immigration laws...sue Arizona for doing what the Federal laws already have in place, now change the focus of the agency tasked with doing the Federal job...doesn't the FBI handle money laundering cases and things like that?? with an estimated 200,000 middle eastern people having snuck across the U.S.-Mexican border, maybe obama has an agenda he ain't telling us about....
