Biden Taps ‘Sanctuary City’ Supporter To Oversee ICE Prosecutions
Move comes as Biden administration faces an influx of illegal immigrants in Del Rio, Tex.
Joseph Simonson • September 22, 2021 1:25 pmThe Biden administration is tapping a left-wing attorney who has publicly endorsed sanctuary laws for illegal aliens to serve as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's top prosecutor, according to an internal memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
ICE announced the hiring of Kerry Doyle, a longtime partner at the Boston-based law firm Graves & Doyle, as the agency's new principal legal adviser, a role that oversees 25 field locations and 1,250 attorneys. The office serves as ICE’s representative in all removal proceedings and litigates cases against illegal aliens and terrorists.
"Throughout her legal practice in Boston, Ms. Doyle worked closely with the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition and Massachusetts Law Reform Institute providing technical assistance and public testimony and various immigration-related policy issues before the state legislature and Boston City Council," the ICE memo reads.
A spokesman for ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Doyle's appointment comes as the Biden administration faces an influx of Haitian refugees, who are overrunning the border city of Del Rio, Texas. After reversing a bevy of Trump-era immigration rules, an uptick in illegal migration across the Southern border has strained resources and presented a political problem for the president, who repudiated Trump's hardline approach to policing the border but risks political blowback from an influx of illegal residents.
Doyle's LinkedIn profile spotlights her work as co-counsel in a case that pushed for — and won — a temporary restraining order against then-president Donald Trump’s 2017 travel ban. The attorney also spoke in favor of a Massachusetts bill called the "Safe Communities Act" in early 2020 arguing that ICE was "out of control." . The measure would have applied sanctuary city laws nationwide and sharply limited the state’s cooperation with the federal government on the deportation of illegal immigrants.
"The Safe Communities Act limits state cooperation … [with ICE]: don’t ask about immigration status; don’t pay for sheriffs to act as ICE agents; tell people their rights," a description of the bill by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts reads. In June, Doyle told a local news outlet that the state must pass the bill, saying state Democrats should not trust "the Biden administration’s more supportive tone as an excuse not to do what our state needs to do."
Doyle, who did not respond to a request for comment, has also helped represent illegal aliens convicted of crimes in the past. In March, she filed a petition with ACLU Massachusetts to release two criminal aliens with medical conditions, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. Doyle’s name has since been scrubbed from her previous law firm’s website.
One of President Joe Biden’s first executive orders in office was to suspend arrests, deportations, and investigations of most criminal aliens for 100 days. Deportations under Biden have hit a record low. U.S. immigration judges ordered just 25,000 deportations by the end of August, compared to 152,000 in August 2020. The total number of cases completed by immigration courts are at a 28-year low, even as Border Patrol apprehensions hit a 21-year high.
Doyle will succeed John TrasviƱa, who assumed the role in January.
Charles Hurt: Biden’s Cover-up Culture Ties the Press in Knots
And the Firm Grasp of the Obvious Award goes to … Chuck Todd of NBC News!
“I think he’s got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands,” Mr. Todd opined this weekend about President Biden.
Specifically, Mr. Todd noticed there was an unpleasant situation in Afghanistan and a humanitarian crisis on our Southern border — both entirely of Mr. Biden’s making. Also, a global pandemic continues to rage across America despite Mr. Biden’s insistence that only the federal government could cure the menace, and he had just the plan to do so.
“All of these problems, in some ways, showed up after he said something basically the exact opposite,” Mr. Todd sleuthed.
“Afghanistan withdrawal wasn’t going to be messy. This wasn’t going to look like Saigon,” he said.
“The booster shots — he came out and essentially said eight months and even indicated maybe we should start it as soon as five months,” Mr. Todd continued. “Now we’re not sure if anybody under 65 is going to get a booster shot.”
Feasting on the full banquet of the obvious, Mr. Todd even discovered the squalid slum encampments popping up along the Mexican border inspired by Mr. Biden’s promises of amnesty for illegal aliens, free health care, and generous welfare.
“We can talk about the border problems and say they’re years in the making, but it’s pretty clear we have a bigger problem now than we’ve had in years,” he observed. “These policies have turned into becoming a magnet.”
Oh, you think?
Many middle-aged, geeky men like Mr. Todd grow goatees to conceal the fat that accumulates around their faces as they get older. Others grow goatees because they suddenly become so smart.
“Pretty big credibility crisis,” he says.
Well, at the very least, you have to admit that “credibility crisis” is a specific area of expertise for Mr. Todd and the pack of frothing jackals he runs within Washington. You know, Meet the Press.
For five years, these news lizards concocted every fantastic tale they could think up to slime President Trump. They made up stories about him, his family, and anyone who worked for him.
They conjured up stories about urinating hookers in Moscow, wacky bank transfers, and wild fever dreams about Mr. Trump colluding with various foreign governments.
They worked hand-in-hand with sleazy political operatives campaigning against Mr. Trump. They colluded with government hacks, military officers, and even our own Justice Department to destroy a president duly elected by the American people.
Almost as furiously as they made up stories about Mr. Trump, they whitewashed true stories about Mr. Biden and his deadbeat, crackhead, corrupt family.
Now, all that corruption is coming home to roost. All the lies and coverups are becoming uncontainable. The True Joe Biden is emerging.
As the press turns.
And that is the problem when your only constituency in America is the press. If you live by the press, you die by the press.

LAWYER JOE BIDEN AND HIS LAWYER INFESTED ADMINISTRATION RANKS AS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT IN HISTORY.
Biden Admin Releasing Haitian Migrants into USA Despite Promise to Remove Them
Media outlets report that despite promises from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Haitian migrants are being released into the U.S. interior. One official told the Associated Press the number of migrants released in recent days is in the thousands.
“If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned, your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family’s life,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas said during a press conference in Del Rio on Monday. “Your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family’s lives.”
“We in DHS are securing additional transportation to accelerate the pace and increase the capacity of removal flights to Haiti and other destinations in the Western Hemisphere,” he stated.
Despite these bold promises of removal, it appears the number of Haitians being removed is in the hundreds while those being released are in the thousands.
The AP reports:
The releases come amid a quick effort to empty the camp under a bridge that, according to some estimates, held more than 14,000 people over the weekend in a town of 35,000 people. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, during a visit Tuesday to Del Rio, said the county’s top official told him the most recent tally at the camp was about 8,600 migrants.
The criteria for deciding who is flown to Haiti and who is released in the U.S. was unclear, but two U.S. officials said single adults were the priority for expulsion flights.
Fox News also reports the release of Haitian migrants into the U.S. interior. The migrants are reportedly being flown by Aero Airways, a major government contractor, to U.S. destinations including Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, New York City, Yakima (Washington), and Harrisburg (Pennsylvania).
The AP claims as many as 6,000 migrants have been released from the camp in Del Rio, Texas.
Breitbart News reached out to CBP and DHS for confirmation of these flights and the numbers of migrants being removed and released. An immediate response was not available by the time of this publication.

Mayorkas: ‘Horrified’ by Border Control on Horseback — It’s Under Investigation
Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that he was “horrified” by recent images of U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback confronting Haitian migrants along the Rio Grande River.
Mayorkas said, “I too was horrified by the images captured by photographers with respect to the activities of Border Patrol agents of horseback. We do not condone. We do not tolerate any mistreatment of any migrant. What we did is we directed an immediate investigation of the events captured in the photographs and on video. I have ensured that the top leadership of the office of professional responsibility lead that investigation and that it be conducted thoroughly and swiftly. We need this resolved swiftly. In fact, I anticipate that the results of the investigation will be available by the end of next week. I’ve committed to making the results public.”
He continued, “I directed that the office of professional responsibility be on-site in Del Rio 24/7 to make sure that the conduct of our employees is consistent with the policies, the training, and values of this department. Lastly, the individuals who are the subject of the investigation are on administrative duties, not executing duties, and not to be interacting with other migrants at this time. The actions we are taking are swift and strong, and we will take further action as the facts in the investigation compel.”
