In this episode of "The Lengths Democrats Will Go to Free Illegal Aliens":
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Wednesday that a staffer from Illinois Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s office impersonated an immigration attorney in a brazen effort to free an illegal alien who has not only been deported to Mexico four times, but was also convicted of drunk driving.
According to a letter sent Wednesday to Duckworth's office, as exclusively reported by Fox News, ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Acting Director Todd Lyons said the staffer told federal agents he was the attorney of the illegal, 40-year-old Jose Ismeal Ayuzo Sandoval.
The letter says the staffer entered an ICE facility in St. Louis, Illinois, on Oct. 29:
At approximately 1:29 p.m., an individual identified as Edward York, who, according to publicly available information, is employed as a Constituent Outreach Coordinator for your Senate office, entered the field office lobby, and in a discussion with a federal officer, claimed to be Mr. Ayuzo’s attorney. Mr. York demanded to speak with his "client."
It gets worse.
While at the field office, York was not only allowed to meet with Ayuzo, but he also secured the illegal alien's signature on a G-28 form — an official document that authorizes an attorney to represent a client in immigration matters, and also allows the attorney to receive official correspondence and communicate with government agencies on behalf of the client.
After obtaining a release order, however, the staffer attempted to file the form without Sandoval’s signature, despite having completed the G-28 form in person, according to the letter.
Also, according to the letter:
Four days later, a Suarez Law Office in Collinsville, Illinois filed a G-28 electronically that did not have Mr. Ayuzo’s signature, even though Mr. York, who claimed to work for the law firm, had already obtained a signed form. It appears as if Mr. York may have collaborated with the firm to cover his misrepresentation.
Ya think?
The salient question, of course, is whether the staffer acted on his own or was instructed by Duckworth to try to pull off the stunt (wink-wink). I mean, you know how eager Democrats are to free illegals.
Moreover, Duckworth has consistently defended illegal aliens, primarily by ripping federal immigration enforcement and calling for oversight of law enforcement tactics against illegals. Clearly, Duckworth's goal — and also the goal of most, if not all Democrat members of Congress — is to shield as many illegal aliens from capture and deportation as they can get away with.

Lyons, fed up with what he called "political games," also wrote:
I implore all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, as well as their staff, to stop the political games that put law enforcement and detainees at risk.
It is my sincere hope that you will advocate on behalf of your constituents who have been victimized by illegal alien crime and work with DHS to remove these criminals from the United States.
Good luck with that, Mr. Acting Director. Some Democrat lawmakers might nod and smile, but we've witnessed the opposite from their party — and I suspect we'll continue to see even more of it.
Shockingly (sarcasm intended), Duckworth's office didn't immediately respond to Fox's request for comment.
