Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman James Schwab on Monday resigned from his role with the San Francisco division, citing the “burden” of spreading falsehoods from Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

As CNN reports, Schwab accused Sessions and Acting Director Tom Homan of deliberately spreading misleading information after ICE slammed Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s decision to warn the public about upcoming ICE raids.
Quote:
“Director Homan and the Attorney General said there were 800 people at large and free to roam because of the actions of the Oakland Mayor,” Schwab told CNN. “Personally I think her actions were misguided and not responsible. I think she could have had other options. But to blame her for 800 dangerous people out there is just false.”


Schwab told SFGate, “I quit because I didn’t want to perpetuate misleading facts.”
Quote:
“I asked them to change the information,” he said. “I told them that the information was wrong, they asked me to deflect, and I didn’t agree with that. Then I took some time and I quit.” Schwab told CNN he’d “never” been in a situation “where someone asked me to deflect when we absolutely knew something was awry.”


“I just couldn’t bear the burden—continuing on as a representative of the agency and charged with upholding integrity, knowing that information was false,” Schwab said.


“It’s the job of a public affairs officer to offer transparency for the agency you work for.” he argued. “I felt like we weren’t doing that. I’ve never been in a situation when I’ve been asked to ignore the facts because it was more convenient. It was my first time being asked to do that.”

While I commend him and other people who have previously resigned for taking a stand, soon there will only be Trump lackeys in every department.

So how many criminals were out there because of her actions? Are they lying about the quantity of 800 criminals or does James just not agree that the mayor should be blamed for?


What was the actual number then? If you are accusing someone of lying then bring the facts to the table.

All of ICE is corrupt! Much like the DEA, ICE is only in it for the money! ICE is just another big government union that rely on welfare to stay afloat. I hope Trump builds the wall so we can stop funneling them money!

See the "ICE has abandoned Enforcement Priorities" thread in this forum...

People are not criminals because they have a final order.
