Jeanine Pirro, Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, posted a video Thursday informing the public that a man who is a four-time deported illegal alien with felony convictions is working as a groundskeeper on Capitol Hill, and that ICE agents trying to arrest him are prevented from doing so.

Pirro, “…We have an individual who is a four-time deportee–that means he’s been deported four times. He’s also an aggravated felon–many felony convictions, that’s why he was deported. But he managed to make it back. He is in fact working on Capitol Hill. He’s not only working on Capitol Hill, he is working outside and apparently is involved working the grounds as a gardener or something. So we, with ICE, have been trying to arrest the individual. We are not allowed to go on Capitol Hill to make an arrest–we’ve been told that we’re not allowed to do that. So, ICE has been waiting for eight hours to arrest this individual and we’re coming to the end of his shift and he goes inside and suddenly he’s not available for an arrest. Now ain’t that swell. Here we are, in the Nation’s Capital, fighting for truth and justice and they’re making sure that the illegals with criminal backgrounds get to stay.”
A bemused Pirro gives the headline in this video, but not much detail. She does not describe the felony convictions, except to say the illegal is an “aggravated felon,” nor does she mention his country of origin. Pirro also does not say who the illegal works for, the government, an NGO or a private employer.
Without Pirro stating it explicitly, there appears to be a separation of powers issue between Congress and the executive branch, however the situation as described makes it seem Capitol Hill is a sanctuary for illegals.
Pirro wanted the public to know how insane it is trying to enforce the law in the Nation’s Capitol; in that, she succeeded.
More as the situation develops.
