    Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said.

    A senior department official said the delays signal a pending change in whom agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement choose to prosecute — increasing the focus on businesses and executives instead of ordinary workers.

    “ICE is now scrutinizing these cases more thoroughly to ensure that [targets] are being taken down when they should be taken down, and that the employer is being targeted and the surveillance and the investigation is being done how it should be done,” said the official, discussing Napolitano’s views about sensitive law enforcement matters on the condition of anonymity.

    “There will be a change in policy, but in the interim, you’ve got to scrutinize the cases coming up,” the senior DHS official said, noting Napolitano’s expectations as a former federal prosecutor and state attorney general.

    Another DHS official said Napolitano plans to release protocols this week to ensure more consistent work-site investigations and less “haphazard” decision-making.

    Napolitano’s moves have led some to question President Obama’s commitment to work-site raids, which were a signature of Bush administration efforts to combat illegal immigration. Napolitano has highlighted other priorities, such as combating Mexican drug cartels and catching dangerous criminals who are illegal immigrants.

      And what precedent does that set? That’s right! Conditioning people to accept mass waves of illegal aliens, including criminals who are already killing, raping and robbing Americans. Wake up dummy! Learn about Jamiel Shaw and the Bologna family!!

      BUILD THAT WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!

      Which is why immigration laws must be reformed. Give them a path to citizenship and we will have no more illegal immigrants. Deport all those with criminal records. Deport those imprisoned.

      dshaw Reply:

      Did you read what the guy said? He was attacked by an illegal alien. You think legalizing that scumbag is going to change his criminal aggression towards American citizens?

      There’s a reason their homelands are called 3rd world countries! These are 3rd world populations who have a much lower value on life. Damn, you liberals are dumb.

      They bring 3rd world behaviors with them to our country, mainly crime, which is normal to them down there. I guarantee you, the day someone you know or love is attacked by an illegal alien, YOU TOO WILL CHANGE YOUR TUNE!

      You simply haven’t yet been a victim of illegal alien crime, but don’t worry, you will soon!

      bill Reply:

      No, which is why people like that, illegal or legal should be arrested and/or deported. But don’t characterize all of them because you don’t know all of them. And don’t be stupid Poland is not a 3rd world country. I see why you feel the way you do, because you have subjected yourself to stereotyping these people, claiming they will attack you if you don’t deport them. Sounds like some biased, stereotypical fear mongering.

      Borders must be secure and illegals support that, but they don’t agree with illegal raids, they don’t agree that actual citizens have to pay to sustain their public services which is why they want reform, they want to be given the chance to pay full taxes like everyone else. Is that not what you want? To not have to pay for these services?? To not sustain immigrants?? To keep your borders closed??

      The problem is not the illegals themselves and I hope people in this site realize that more than anyone, the problem is the government who purposely stall the citizenship process. But if you just don’t want Mexicans here then your argument is biased.

      dshaw Reply:

      There you go again with “mexicans”, bringing race into the discussion you fool! Who said anything about “mexicans”? You said it, not me, dumbass!

      Again, you claim I’m characterizing “all of them”. No, I don’t want to pay for anchor babies, and you shouldn’t want that either.

      Once again, I’ll state the obvious. YOU HAVEN’T YET BECOME A VICTIM OF ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIME!

      The day you do, however, YOU TOO WILL CHANGE YOUR TUNE, regarding this crisis. Furthermore, “I feel the way I do”, because I live in a border state, and have seen firsthand the destruction these people are causing to our communities, including the rise in crime, the amount of trash they leave everywhere, and the disrespectful behavior they show towards American citizens of ALL RACES, YES EVEN HISPANICS!

      You know NOT what you speak. It’s apparent, you haven’t experienced the mass wave of vehicle and home burglaries we have to deal with, committed mostly by illegal aliens, as well as having someone you know or love, killed by an illegal alien drunk driver.

      If you have no firsthand experience with this, then please leave this discussion to those who are indeed aware of the reality of the illegal alien invasion.

      dshaw Reply:

      No reform necessary! SIMPLY ENFORCE THE LAW STUPID! Just wait. You or someone you know will be robbed, raped, or worse, and then, MAYBE THEN YOU’LL FINALLY WAKE UP TO THE REALITY OF WHAT THESE INVADERS ARE ENGAGED IN!

      DAMN, GUY! IT’S ON THE NEWS EVERYDAY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? They’re killing cops and black teens in California, simply because they’re black!! NOW WHO’S THE RACIST YOU FOOL?

      BUILD THAT WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!!

      masterkyiron what do you mean an illigal mexican was going to hit you on the head? I hope you were man enough to take it from him and stick it straight up his beaner ass
      American style.

    7. jon Says:

      there is no doubt that the immigration laws are messed up in this country and that ALL immigrants who are committing crimes should be deported but don’t stereotype all illegal aliens and say that they are killing Americans because our own people (American citizens) kill many more of us every single day. The delay of immigration raids is a good thing, because it somewhat stalls the police state that exists in this country where officials think they can come into your house without a warrant.
