Tens of thousands of family members caught crossing the border illegally earlier this year subsequently failed to meet with federal immigration agents as they were told, the Homeland Security Department has acknowledged privately.
An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 percent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. didn’t show up weeks later for follow-up appointments.
The official made the disclosure in a confidential meeting at ICE’s Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies. The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday’s meeting and interviewed participants.
On the recording, the government did not specify the number of families released into the U.S. since October. Because only a few hundred families have already been returned to their home countries and because limited U.S. detention facilities can house only about 1,200 family members, the 70 percent figure suggests that the government released roughly 41,000 members of immigrant families who subsequently failed to appear at federal immigration offices.
The official, who was not identified by name on the recording, said that final deportation had been ordered for at least 860 people traveling in families caught at the border since May but that only 14 had reported as ordered.
The Homeland Security Department did not dispute the authenticity of the recording.Read the rest of the story HERE</b>.

Why are we playing games with these illegals while we are at war.
Did anyone really expect these illegals to abide by the laws when they broke the law in the first place. We should be defending our borders with extreme prejudices, One warning shot followed by a fatal shot.
Obama's treasonous act's of keeping our borders open are totally unforgivable and addressed by the Congress as well as the highest levels in the chain of command for national security reasons.
