re: "Obama Quietly Benefits from Little-Noticed New Regulation Requiring "High Level" Approval for Arrest of Illegal Alien Fugitives; Policy Enacted"

Ace at Ace of Spades HQ remarks that a certain temporary rule remains in force .

Money quote(s):

"As an outgoing gift to Obama, President Bush actually promulgated this rule. His idea of courtesy, I suppose. But we're not bound by that.

Bush did it, yes, but only as a favor to Obama -- which hardly requires Obama to accept the favor. And certainly we don't need to accept it."

"(W)hile this rule was a personal gift from Bush to benefit Obama's aunt, it complicates and hampers the arrest of fugitives from immigration law; all such requests now require "high level" approval."
