A senior Obama administration political appointee and longtime aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano resigned Saturday amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior lodged by at least three Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.

Suzanne Barr, chief of staff to ICE Director John Morton, said in her resignation letter that the allegations against her are "unfounded." But she said she was stepping down anyway to end distractions within the agency.

Barr is accused of sexually inappropriate behavior toward employees. The complaints are related to a sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a senior ICE agent in May.

Barr went on leave last month after the New York Post reported on the lawsuit filed by James T. Hayes Jr., ICE's special agent in charge in New York. Additional employees came forward with their allegations around the same time.

In one complaint, Barr is accused of telling a male subordinate he was "sexy" and asking a personal question about his anatomy during an office party. In a separate complaint, she is accused of offering to perform a sex act with a male subordinate during a business trip in Bogota, Colombia. She's also accused of calling a male subordinate from her hotel room and offering to perform a sex act.

In the lawsuit, Hayes described a "frat house" atmosphere at ICE designed to humiliate male employees under Barr's leadership. Hayes, who was transferred to New York from ICE headquarters in Washington, is asking for more than $4 million.

it's actually quite a bit worse

the lawsuit alleges that what's really going on at napolitano's dhs is the takeover of the agency by a lesbian cabal which routinely engages in male bashing and intimidation, promotes only the like minded and punishes the mostly men who refuse to go along

in one of the more upsetting accusations, three male employees whose positions were moved found one day all their office and personal effects cleared out and moved into separate stalls in the men's restroom, each engraved with their individualized nameplates

more serious is mr hayes' allegation that he was removed from his position in favor of completely unqualified dora schriro, unmarried ms napolitano's longtime associate

can you just imagine the media reaction if this were a sexual harassment scandal involving a republican administration

another very ugly story went down some months ago in the state of north carolina which is hosting barack hussein's national convention this week

It's about time Barr left, but I have no hope of a real house-cleaning at any agency while Obama is in office.

Your closing advice is excellent.
 
The story is everywhere so I'm not sure why you feel there is no reaction?
 
two weeks ago, another lawsuit vs ms napolitano personally and her dept institutionally

ICE Agents Sue Napolitano for Ordering Them to 'Violate Federal Law' | cnsnews.com

Ten U.S. immigration agents are suing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton over a directive that “commands ICE officers to violate federal law.”

“We’re not enforcing law any more,” said Chris Crane, an ICE deportation officer and president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council. “It is pretty much just let everyone go,” he told reporters during a conference call on Thursday.

Crane and nine other ICE agents filed their lawsuit in federal court in Dallas on Thursday.

They are seeking an injunction to block Napolitano’s June 15, 2012 directive, which instructs ICE officers to refrain from deporting most illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children.

"The Directive," says the lawsuit, "commands ICE officers to violate federal law ... commands ICE officers to violate their oaths to uphold and support federal law, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, unconstitutionally usurps and encroaches upon the legislative powers of Congress, as defined in Article I of the United States Constitution, and violates the obligation of the executive branch to faithfully execute the law, as required by Article II, Section 3, of the United States Constitution.”

In the El Paso case, local police arrested an individual for allegedly assaulting a relative and discovered that he was in the U.S. illegally. When ICE attempted to take him into custody, he tried to escape and an agent was injured. But the suspect was not issued an order for immigration processing and no investigation was conducted because of the Obama administration’s directive, Crane told reporters.

In Delaware, agents arrested an illegal alien who was driving the car of another man, described as a “criminal alien.” After the driver was taken into custody, agents found he had ten previous driving violations and no driver’s license. The ICE officer who did not want to follow orders from his superiors to release the man has been threatened with suspension, Crane said.

it's called catch and release

on july 31, data pried out of dhs via subpoenas from lamar smith's judiciary committee revealed that immigrants the admin declined to deport went on to commit 19 murders and 142 sex crimes

finally, last saturday, informed americans, the folks who are gonna win this upcoming election, learned that the unquestionably corrupt cabal at dhs has been exaggerating the admin's deportation numbers

The timing is certainly political. Saturday on Labor Day weekend. Funny that this practice still occurs. The cable news coupled with the net has certainly made this tactic pointless.

Could be. After the Republicans took Congress in 1995, there were some very enlightening Congressional hearings on the misbehavior of the ATF and FBI that the Dems had been covering up. That could happen again, and there are certainly more departments and areas that need exposure.

So the Democrats have a lesbian cabal in an executive cabinet that moved the effects of 3 male agents into a restroom.

While Republicans have 30 Senators who voted against an amendment to a bill that would deny defense contracts to companies that ask employees to sign away the right to sue so that victims of rape and sexual assault wouldn't be forced to resolve the matter by private arbitration which inherently favors corporations.

Yeah, there's absolutely a parity of misogyny and misandry going on here.
