Wait– aren’t whistleblowers a good thing? Apparently not in the Department of Homeland Security. Taylor Johnson, a senior special agent with a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), testified at a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that she had received disciplinary action after reporting problems in her agency. Johnson said she nearly lost custody of her adopted daughter and was denied the right to own a personal firearm.
“Some of the violations investigated surrounding the project included bank and wire fraud, and I discovered ties to organized crime and high-ranking politicians and they received promotions that appeared to facilitate the program,” Johnson testified.
She said that during her investigation she “discovered that EB-5 applicants from China, Russia, Pakistan, Malaysia had been approved in as little as 16 days” and that case files “lacked the basic and necessary law enforcement queries.”
“I found over 800 operational EB-5 regional centers throughout the U.S.,” Johnson said, stating that she found this “disturbing” given that the U.S. allows only 10,000 EB-5 applications per year.
“I could not identify how USCIS was holding each regional center accountable or how they were tracked once they were inside the U.S.,” she added.
Despite her competence and engagement with her work, Johnson was treated like a traitor. Watch her video testimony below:
I would have loved to hear how the panel reacted after hearing her accusations. Getting help from the government is about as likely as getting orange juice from an apple. They should make her the boss!
dhs and this Obama government has turned into a brown shirted-jack booted thug organization. look at the illegal actions by the irs, the justice dept., the epa, immigration…and for that matter the white house itself. apparently if you are a whistle blower, a christain or anti Obama…they will find a way to get rid of you…but if you are a democrat that has not paid their irs bills or not doing their job…they may promote you and give you a bonus
It just shows you how rotten and evil the Obama administration really is.
