Gov't Arrests Illegal Immigrant, Registered Sex Offender Working for Democrat US Senator, But Covered It Up Before Election By Associated Press WASHINGTON: U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (Democrat) employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ap-exclusive-govt-arrests-illegal-immigrant-registered-sex-offender-working-for-us-senator/2012/12/12/ea7b1fbe-448e-11e2-8c8f-fbebf7ccab4e_story.html;

"A Homeland Security spokesman, Peter Boogaard, said Wednesday that it was “categorically false” that the department delayed the arrest of Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, 18, until after the election."

Of course he denies it... - lmn

...that's standard protocol. No one wants to take the blame, especially the guilty party.

and of course, innocent until proven guilty (nm) - means nothing to you

During the final weeks of President George W. Bush's administration, ICE was criticized for delaying the arrest of President Barack Obama's aunt, who had ignored an immigration judge's order to leave the country several years earlier after her asylum claim was denied. She subsequently won the right to stay in the United States after an earlier deportation order, and there was no evidence of involvement by the White House.

In that case, the Homeland Security Department had imposed an unusual directive days before the 2008 election requiring high-level approval before federal agents nationwide could arrest fugitive immigrants including Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama's late father, according to the AP. The directive from ICE expressed concerns about "negative media or congressional interest," according to a copy of that directive obtained by AP. The department lifted the immigration order weeks later.

Questions. - just me

1. Who is the source that claims they were told to wait to arrest until after the election?

2. Exactly how long had they known he was a sex offender before they arrested him? If these claims were true, wouldn't they have a date? Wouldn't they be able to say "we've known since such and such time?"

It sounds like this cover-up is made up. There is no information supporting a cover-up, other than some unnamed source.

well that should be good for about a week's ratings on cable - nm
