Governmental Corruption at it's finest!!!!!

[Team Sergeant]

We just keep moving away from common sense, integrity, honor, values, leadership etc and are on the "diversity train to hell". Let's "honor" some more government morons.

So let me get this straight, it's not against the law to lie to federal agents? Or because your of ethnic origin you're exempt?

Irene Martin, you're nothing but a bottom-feeding scumbag.





Immigration boss who barred feds from terror suspect up for award, but agency won't say why

A U.S. immigration official blamed in a federal report for barring law enforcement agents from a suspect in the San Bernardino terror attack has been nominated for a prestigious agency award – but her bosses in Washington refuse to say what she did to earn consideration.

Irene Martin heads the San Bernardino U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office, where last December, she allegedly blocked five armed Department of Homeland Security agents from the man authorities say supplied the firepower in the deadly attack a day earlier. Although an Inspector General's report found she acted improperly, and then lied to investigators, FoxNews.com has learned she has been nominated for the Secretary’s Award for Valor.

“To give Irene Martin an award for valor is insulting to all the prior awardees – the agents and officers who truly displayed valor and risked their lives to save someone else,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy Studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based research institute.

A federal employee’s promotion following allegations she obstructed an investigation into the Dec. 2 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, confirmed in a recently released report by the Office of Inspector General, has left experts with mixed reactions.

Irene Martin, former San Bernardino field office director for U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, was transferred to the Los Angeles field office and promoted to acting deputy district director following the Dec. 3 incident at the USCIS field office in San Bernardino, less than three miles from the Inland Regional Center, where the day before 14 people were killed and 22 others wounded in what the FBI declared the deadliest terrorist strike on U.S. soil since 9/11.

The incident at the USCIS San Bernardino field office triggered so much ire it prompted a hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs in March, followed by the OIG investigation that concluded on April 8.

Martin declined to comment, according to USCIS spokeswoman Maria Elena Upson.

... Martin, according to her Linked-In social media page, has worked for immigration for 16 years, beginning in 2000 when the department was the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. She was the field office director for San Bernardino’s USCIS field office from March 2003 until her recent transfer to Los Angeles.

Experts had mixed reactions to Martin’s promotion.

“I’m speechless,” said Brian Levin, a criminal justice professor at Cal State San Bernardino and an expert in counterterrorism. “Maybe if (Martin) messed up just a little bit more maybe she could have been director.”

I recently spoke to a VP at my old job. He said something along the lines of "if you fuck up badly enough that the effects are widely felt, then you were in a position of such power that a mistake is devastating, it puts you in line for promotion because of all the other important and far ranging things you did correctly".

That's some strange logic to me, but maybe he used to work at the USCIS San Bernadino field office.

So...if you do something that becomes a major liability to your organization...they promote you because you are actually a major asset and deserve the promotion.

I guess!
