In an agency-wide directive sent to DHS staff early Wednesday afternoon, the IG’s office wrote, “All agency personnel must preserve any document that contains information that is potentially relevant to OIG’s investigation, or that might reasonably lead to the discovery of relevant information relating to the implementation of this Executive Order. For the duration of this hold, any relevant information that is within your possession or control must be preserved in the exact form as it currently exists.”

In a letter sent to Roth on Sunday, the lawmakers asked the IG’s office to investigate a number of issues related to the rollout of the order, including what guidance DHS and CBP personnel provided to the White House in developing the order and what directions were provided to CBP officers in implementing it.

The lawmakers also asked the IG to investigate whether CBP officers complied with subsequent court orders, and whether DHS and CBP officers kept a list of individuals that they detained at ports of entry.

Despite a Saturday night federal court order blocking all ban-related removals, and a series of subsequent legal challenges in a number of states, including one in Virginia mandating that lawyers be granted access to individuals arriving from affected countries, reports of noncompliance with the orders continued to spread in the following days.

Over the weekend, The Intercept reported on an Iranian citizen at Los Angeles International Airport forced by Customs and Border Protection officials to board a flight to Copenhagen, despite the nationwide stay. In New York, another Iranian woman was forced onto a flight to Ukraine despite the judge’s order. In a phone call with reporters Sunday, Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project, said “high-level intervention” was required to prevent the woman from being deported.

“They literally turned the plane around while it was taxing on the tarmac and allowed her to leave,” Heller said.

In the following days, reports have also emerged of immigration officials making people sign forms renouncing their valid immigration status, sometimes through threats and manipulation.

Any leftist politicians willing to condem these riots? Their silence may as well be approval.

if, in fact, they weren't plants

This is too conspiracy-like to me. These are probably anarchist idiots that take any chance to pull this crap.

Trump threatens to cut federal funds to UC Berkeley over Milo Yiannopoulos cancellation

While I do lol at students now, and prior, having riots and safe-space hissyfits when there's a speaker they don't like, Trump makes me facepalm with crap like this.

And he was punched again after that. Make these people afraid to step outside.

Trump, I admit, is a tad crazier than I honestly thought

the man who hit Spencer was an Antifa and quite frankly we need more of them.

So how about we punch you in the face all is fair right ?

Well, we are now living in the age where violence is condoned, not only by the protesters, but celebrities (Madonna's "blow up the White House), the media (New York Times is actually promoting violence against Republicans), and the democrats/liberals in Congress (Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer telling the public to go out and riot).
When people start shooting/stabbing/killing other people in the streets because they are Republicans, are they (democrats/liberals/media/celebrities) going to start condemning them for such actions? Or only when people start fighting back and we end up in Civil War II: This Time, With Nukes™ (btw, you owe me $.50 for reading that).

*Throat punches*

Assuming you mean left-leaning posters here, yes. I'll condemn them.

Turning your alt right *** into martyrs is a terrible idea.

Same as when that piece of ***Spencer got punched. I actually suspect that was a deliberate setup given we've had no ID on the "assaulters."

More *** bully tactics. Goad people until they fight back and then blame them for fighting back.

These rioters -- and the people who hit Spencer if, in fact, they weren't plants -- are both horribly wrong. The absolute last thing that we need is to make scumbag leaders martyrs for their scumbag causes.

Wow we down to "The Sun" level stuff now. The amount of sheer hate being blasted from the "party of tolerance" is hilarious. Reminds me of all the "Obama is an evil muslim terrorist" that went on back in 2009.

No not everyone agreed with the super PC rhetoric that they were being bludgeoned with. Yes the pendulum has started swinging the other direction. No there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. As each of you is crying and gnashing your teeth millions of Americans are cheering. Your voice is not the only voice nor do you have the right to "authorize" voices according to your own notions of PC.
