Yep, being a Federal employee must be pretty sweet, especially in this economy. Decent pay, full benefits package and pretty much guaranteed employment. Well, guaranteed just as long as you aren’t an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who outs the the Denver District Attorney for cutting deals with illegals to lessen the odds of them getting deported.
Denver Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Cory Voorhis thought the citizens of Colorado should know about the practices of a former Denver District Attorney, Bill Ritter, who allowed 121 illegal aliens to minimize their risk of deportation through generous plea bargain deals. Mr. Ritter demanded an investigation and ICE Agent Voorhis was prosecuted in federal court. The jury saw through the political character of the prosecution and took only two hours to acquit Mr. Voorhis of all charges. The story should have ended there, but Mr. Voorhis lost his job because the federal government would not accept the jury verdict.
Between this case and the travails of border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, why on Earth would anyone want to get into that line of work?
Modern management techniques encourage employees to not be afraid to make mistakes and for management to back them up in the event of honest errors that were made in pursuit of a greater purpose. We’re thinking that ICE and Border Patrol employees would be satisfied with their management backing them up when they merely do their job.
