DHS Chief Napolitano Launches Investigation Into Border Patrol Agents For Profiling Muslims…or We only tolerate this behavoir when it’s done against White America

The U.S. government has launched an investigation into allegations that federal agents at several U.S.-Canada border crossings in Michigan repeatedly harassed, jailed and body searched Muslims because of their background or appearance.

In a letter sent this week to a local Muslim group, Margo Schlanger, the head of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security, said her office has received accounts of “repeated handcuffing, brandishing of weapons, prolonged detentions, invasive and humiliating body searches at the border, and inappropriate questioning that pertains to religion and religious practices.”

The complaints include incidents at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.

The investigation comes in response to complaints filed in March by the Council on American-Islamic Relations with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.

The council said it was concerned that agents were even asking people about their prayer schedules.

But yet, it’s perfectly okay when TSA does this exact same thing to our own citizens.  On the plus side, at least we’ll know who to blame the next time a terrorist gets into the country due to our border agents being unable to prevent it without being labled an Islampophobe.

After months of investigating, the House Oversight Committee has released its report on allegations of FOIA abuse in the Department of Homeland Security. At 150 pages (PDF), “A New Era of Openness? How and Why Political Staff at DHS Interfered with the FOIA Process” is chock-full of testimony and evidence to make your jaw drop. In order to help our readers get to the juiciest parts, The Daily Caller has compiled a list of the most fascinating facts from the committee’s report, including evidence of incompetence, theft, and intentional deceit.

1.) DHS attorney Reid Cox attempted to “steal” evidence from a FOIAgate hearing (page 107)

2.) Napolitano’s personal FOIA team has no idea how FOIA works (page 24)

3.) Secretary Napolitano’s political staff encourage FOIA underlings to deceive their direct supervisors (page 86)
