DHS Comes Down on National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd for Whistleblowing

Barack Obama is finally out of office. Yet we are still living in Upside-Down World:

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for reporting corruption and misconduct in agency management, including a disturbing order issued to officers directing them not to patrol a vulnerable stretch of the northern border with Canada. …

The ordeal began in mid-April when Judd, who heads the union that represents some 16,000 Border Patrol agents nationwide, denounced a directive to agents to purposely leave a 40-mile section of the Havre Sector in Montana unsecured. …

Judd revealed that in recent years the Havre sector has seen more complaints than any other sector. The union chief also criticized DHS Secretary John Kelly for endorsing Obama-era open border policies and condoning his predecessors’ (Janet Napolitano and Jeh Johnson) failures.

Judd, a patriot who wants the border defended, is in hot water for “unauthorized disclosure of law enforcement information,” a charge that could be applied to any whistleblower working within law enforcement. According to the Border Patrol Council’s legal division, the information Judd disclosed was not sensitive — although it must have been embarrassing, or he wouldn’t be in trouble.
