The Boston Globe has filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for refusing to disclose the names of thousands of criminal immigrants it released in the United States over the past four years, sometimes with tragic results.
Federal officials acknowledge that, since 2008, they’ve released about 8,500 criminal immigrants who were scheduled to be deported after serving their criminal sentences, but their home countries would not take them back.

Clearly, the Department of Homeland Security doesn't want to be sued for releasing known criminals into the general population. A persons right to privacy is surrendered once he or she commits a crime. I feel that the public's right to know far outweighs the governments insatiable appetite for secrecy. Who does the Department of Homeland Security think they are, the CIA? Just another good idea that has grown way out of proportion to their real value.
this country has become a disgrace, I'm so disappointed in what we have become.

We are forced to pay taxes for services that our government is required by law to render, yet they are not. So why pay the tax? So we our selves do not have a seat in prison reserved for us. A tax evader will do more time in prison then these illegal alien criminals. Regardless of paperwork these criminals should be sent to their native country by boat, plane, train or automobile and dropped off. The American people must not stand for this any longer. If you feel it will help write your elected representatives and urge them to take this matter up. My fear is they will not. As I have said before, real revolutions have begun over less. Our founding fathers would be ashamed at what has happened to our country and we the citizens must take back our government from these career political meddlers that are concerned only with their own benefit.

Good job Globe, don't let Big Sis and the WH gang get away with failing to give this information clealy in the interest of public safety.
Dear Mr. Baron: Upon your appointment as editor to the Globe, you were gracious enough to give me approximately 20 minutes of your time and to accept my 30-page affidavit establishing a pattern and practice of verified official corruption and verified government crime of enormous proportion, to include the frame up of innocent individuals, well planned discrimination, egregious retaliation against those who refused to break the law, promotion fixing, fraud, waste and abuse in the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and other violations. Essentially, your question and answer concerning the concealment of public information, "Who benefits from this policy?" "An obvious beneficiary is the government itself, which avoids scrutiny and accountability.” is the same I asked of you at my request for you to consider a Globe story on conduct that has harmed many and reads as fiction. My sincere congratulations on your new position at the Washington Post. Please take my 30-page affidavit with you. The statute of limitations has not run on certain conduct outlined in my affidavit. Perhaps you may reconsider? dougkinan@yahoo.com 617-323-6171
