ICE Mistakenly Deports Missing Teen To Colombia

Wow. We've discussed, repeatedly, the ridiculous situation in which the US government via the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) arm of the Department of Homeland Security has been seizing domains and censoring websites , such as the case of Dajaz1.com. As we've noted in the past, the details of that operation showed an organization that didn't really understand what it was doing, and definitely seemed to believe in "shoot first, ask questions later."

United States Department of Homeland Security

The United States Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) is a cabinet department of the United States federal government , created in response to the September 11 attacks , and with the primary responsibilities of protecting the United States of America and U.S. territories (including Protectorates ) from and responding to terrorist attacks , man-made accidents , and natural disasters . Despite the Department of the Interior's name, DHS is the equivalent to the Interior ministries of other countries, not the Department of the Interior. In fiscal year 2011, DHS was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion and spent, net, $66.4 billion. Where the Department of Defense is charged with military actions abroad, the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within, at, and outside its borders.
