Order on fugitive immigrant arrests short-lived

Posted by maccabees on January 27, 2009

it’s not so much the story, but the context.

i wonder why a story like this is portrayed as either being against (or for, depending on your perspective) obama’s aunt, when the real story is in the first paragraph. “The Bush administration quietly withdrew in the weeks after Barack Obama’s election a rule requiring high-level approval before federal agents could arrest fugitive immigrants. Meanwhile, the future for Obama’s aunt, who had been living in the country illegally, will be determined at an immigration court hearing in April.” in this era of terrorism, when illegal immigration is such a hot-button issue, etc. why is “high-level approval” needed?
