It’s no secret that the White House has a complicated relationship with its responsibility to enforce immigration laws. This is especially true of the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department, which has been often criticized by the Right for being overly lax, and by the Left for being overzealous. Faced with this political Catch-22, it would seem that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has a rather sticky choice – either emphasize her department’s effectiveness (siding with the Right), or explain why particular laws shouldn’t be enforced as stringently as they could be (siding with the Left). 
What happened next? The Washington Times reports:
But after Rep. Bob Goodlatte, Virginia Republican, pointed out the contradiction during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday,Ms. Napolitano wasted little time in removing it.
“I would tell the people who are working on the website, take it down,” she said during the hearing. And even before the hearing gaveled to a close, the page was gone.

"Now, setting aside the question of whether this program works (which at least in some cases, it does), isn‘t this a bit of a troubling policy on Napolitano’s part? Redacting information from a government website for what seems like one’s own political agenda sets a troubling precedent, and not one that most Americans would likely support. Napolitano might prefer that we remained at war with Eastasia, in the words of George Orwell, but at least in theory, Americans should expect the truth from their government agencies, no matter the politics of any given situation."
