Obama Admin Preventing Media From Reporting on Immigrants, Citing ‘Safety’ Concerns

Brandon Darby at Breitbart has a very interesting piece reporting that Obama’s government is trying to keep the media away from places where ICE is warehousing illegal immigrants. Obviously Obama wants to keep these stories as quiet as possible, but ICE is claiming that it is for “safety” reasons.

A reporter for Breitbart Texas tried to interview some folks at one of the detention centers and was told “you can’t be here.”

GRANJENO CITY, Texas–A remote section of the U.S.-Mexico border near the Anzalduas International Bridge is one of the few places where media can witness and record the mass crossings of minors coming from Central America. The U.S. Border Patrol is now restricting journalists’ access to the area citing safety concerns.

“You can’t be here,” a Border Patrol agent said. After learning that he was speaking with Breitbart Texas, the agent repeated his assertion and stated, “It isn’t safe for you here.” The agent refused to give his name and then grabbed his phone, acting as though he had a phone call. He then raised his arm over his name badge. When a camera was put on him, he quickly sped off.

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), the union representing approximately 17,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents, also had a representative in the area accompanied by a journalist from another outlet. The union representative spoke with the Border Patrol agent who demanded that this reporter leave the area. Within minutes, the union representative received a call from a Border Patrol supervisor about his presence in the area. The NBPC Local 3307 union representative, Albert Spratte, told Breitbart Texas, “This area has always been the public road to Rincon Village, it is the only access to the houses there. All of the sudden, we are being told it is restricted and not open to the public or media. A lot of media have been there recently and this hasn’t been told to us before. It is something new.”

Go read this whole story. It is really incredible that Obama is trying to shut down the media like this.

Now the big question is… will the media care that their messiah is shutting them down?
