Meet Suzanne Barr, Chief of Staff at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. She’s on leave right now.
Meet Dora Schriro. She used to work at the Department of Homeland Security under Janet Napolitano. She currently oversees prisons in Michael Bloomberg’s New York.
Both Barr and Schriro are named offenders in the growing sex scandal within Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security. DHS has gone from angrily denying that it has a sex scandal, to putting government workers on “voluntary” leave.
The top Homeland Security official accused of cultivating a “frat-house”-style work environment has “voluntarily placed herself on leave” amid an internal review, the department told FoxNews.com late Tuesday evening — just hours after FoxNews.com contacted the agency about new allegations against her.
The official, Suzanne Barr, is chief of staff for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Two more ICE employees came forward this week to complain about “lewd” conduct inside the agency, submitting sworn affidavits that depict graphic comments made by two top officials working under DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The affidavits were given as part of a discrimination and retaliation suit filed earlier this year by James T. Hayes Jr., the head of the New York office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Dora Schriro was allegedly hired and promoted because of her personal relationship with the DHS secretary.
While Napolitano is named as the sole defendant, Hayes’ suit focuses on Barr and Dora Schriro, who joined DHS in February 2009, five months after Hayes was promoted to director of ICE Detention and Removal Operations.
Hayes claims Schriro, who was brought on as a special adviser to Napolitano, was not qualified for the job because she lacked law enforcement experience. Hayes maintained Schriro enjoyed a “long-standing relationship” with Napolitano, and soon pushed him aside “because of this relationship (with Napolitano) and because he was not female,” the suit says.
A look at Schriro’s official bio shows that she does indeed have no real law enforcement experience. She has headed prison systems, and done her best, again according to her own bio, to benefit unions.
She has also co-led sentencing seminars at the law schools of St. Louis University and Arizona State University, spearheaded passage of the nation’s first Restorative Justice legislation and established offices of crime victim services and labor relations in the State correctional systems in Missouri and Arizona. Her efforts on behalf of the workforce yielded appreciable pay increases and increased representation. (emphases added)
The unions involved are the AFSCME and AFGE, both of which are part of the AFL-CIO universe. AFGE is the union that’s bringing Big Labor into the Transportation Security Administration. The unionization of the airport gropers is happening despite Democrat promises to never unionize that agency, at the time of said agency’s creation. It has been said before but is worth mentioning again, unionization of all government workers should be banned, and Democrat promises should always be understood to be insincere and come with expiration dates. Schriro is but one of many examples of Democrats using their government positions to assist Big Labor, which in turn puts money into Democrat party coffers. In any other setting such actions would be flagged for conflict of interest and would be considered corrupt.
But I digress. Let’s take a look at Suzanne Barr. According to the widening scandal, she has an aggressive streak.
In the newly emerging affidavits, one of the employees claimed that in October 2009, while in a discussion about Halloween plans, the individual witnessed Barr turn to a senior ICE employee and say: “You a sexy” (expletive deleted).
“She then looked at his crotch and asked, ‘How long is it anyway?’” according to the affidavit.

The account said Parmer and Barr were “drinking heavily” at the house of the deputy chief of mission for the U.S. Embassy there. It said Parmer took the BlackBerry of another employee, Peter Vincent, and sent “lewd messages” to Barr.
The affidavit went on to say: “During this party, Suzanne Barr approached me and offered to” perform oral sex.
How did Suzanne Barr get to the top of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement administration? She worked for Napolitano in Arizona. But not in any law enforcement capacity.
Ms. Barr came to ICE in January 2009. Before becoming chief of staff, she served in then-Governor Janet Napolitano’s office, working as deputy director and director of legislative affairs. As director of legislative affairs, Ms. Barr was responsible for the governor’s legislative agenda and oversaw the legislative proposals of all state agencies. She also served as the governor’s policy advisor on law enforcement issues, overseeing all state law enforcement agencies.
Basically, she did whatever Napolitano told her to do. That landed her the job that, among other things, is supposed to oversee our border security, enforce immigration law, fight terrorism, fight smuggling, and so forth. No experience necessary, apparently.
Feel secure?
Islamic terrorists threaten within our borders.
Who ya gonna call?
Lesbians-R-US, apparently.
We now know that Director of Legislative Affairs now = Pimp! So, Barr’s former job was to line up lesbian dates for Napolitano?!?
For someone not from the Midwest Napolitano sure did well with Obama’s Chicago Way.
The chicago way with a twist of lemon. You scratch my crotch, I will scratch yours. /sarc
Just more culture of corruption from the incompetent-in-chief … nothing to see here – move along you !!
Butch Napolitano was a mean, vindictive Boss Hogg as the AZ governor. Obviously she fits right in with the Obama corruption crowd.
– Californecrosis has already spread to the federal government.
Crony Lesbianism? Who would have guessed? Janet appears to be such a grandmotherly soul, a sex deviate? Never.
Look, before we go all torches and pitchforks, I’d like to say I find it quite refreshing to learn that there is a high-ranking woman (sorry, that’s redundant) in Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security who is definitely attracted to men. (I almost said “heterosexual” but that hasn’t technically been demonstrated.) So before we start investigating and firing folks, let’s think about how this might impact DHS’s diversity outreach, okay?
I just don’t understand this. If they wanted dick, they didn’t have to lean on their co-workers. I’d have dropped trou right now. I’m sure lots of guys would have — they’re both pretty milfy. Lesbian schmesbian; pussy’s pussy.
Respectfully,
Joe
THAT is hilarious!
High-ranking is not really redundant. She could have been ‘high’. You really couldn’t say a high woman; guess you could say a ranking woman but that sounds too much like she stinks (who knows, maybe it does). LOL!!!
Remember, “leave” in this case is basically a tax-paid vacation for these “ladies.” They’ve probably welcomed it. There is not currently nor I suspect will there be any punishment for this behavior. Has anyone in this administration been punished (or even reviled in the press) for ANY of their unethical or illegal activities?
I just don’t think it’s ever gonna happen.
Having an appointed position and doing it well are two different things. Dora Schriro hated to deal with law enforcement. Becuase she always came out weak in knowledge and ended up violating the law either by design or ignorance.
I think Romney should start dusting off an old Fleetwood Mac song for his campaign theme: “Landslide.”
(Sorry, or was that Stevie Nicks solo?)
The pattern that emerged right after his election is that Obama surrounds himself with weak and/or flawed characters. From Biden on down, they are hacks who would not have a career in a competent administration. I guess this keeps them loyal. The wonks left a long time ago.
It’s nice to know that the best and the brightest are in charge.
DHS…I take it that means:
Desperate Horny Skanks, or
Deep Hard & Slippy or
Dodgy Headgiving Slags or
Do-me Hard-up-the S hit.er, or
Dont-come-before-me-or-i’ll Have you Shot, or
Dont Have to be Scissor-sisters….
You gents are not thinking. Just reacting. Stop and get your priorities in order. either you want our government and economy in the hands of evil banksters and lapdog politicians, or you want the people/us peons to benefit.
It is already a given the US Government is beholden to the highest bidder. Usually big business, big finance, Israel, etc. The general idea is the same as Reagan’s old “trickle down economics”, the idea that big business passes down government largesse in the form of jobs. We know that doesn’t apply nowdays. Banksters are not spreading the wealth. They keep government handouts to themselves and use it for giantic bonuses, golden parachutes, and as war chests to take over smaller competitors. Job holders lose.
Unions do not represent big corporate interests. Unions represent workers. Job holders. That’s me, and you. When they get money, it goes directly into the hands of blue collar workers, not banksters. That money “trickles up” through the economy, providing income to everyone who depends on an economically endowed middle class. That’s workers other than unionized labor.
So, assuming the US Government is going to be handing out money, to whom should it go? Big corporate interests so they can more their operations out of the country, big finance who will lock up the money for their exclusive use? Or bit LABOR, who is basically US. Us peons.
Think about that before you go bashing unions.
Hey, ReconGuy, every time this administration gives money to the UNIONS, it’s to the Union MANAGERS AND ADMINSTRATORS, NOT to the rank and file members.
At least HALF the money from the stimulus program went to public employee unions, and then came back to Democrat Party coffers as the UNION BOSSES coughed back the agreed “campaign donations.”
Look at the General Motors alleged “bail-out.”
The company wasn’t bailed out; it was dis-membered. Obama took dollars that were legally due to bond-holders and lenders, and GAVE it to the UNION BOSSES, again NOT to the rank-and-file. The Bosses got rich, the union members kept their jobs, for the time being. Obama then culled through the DEALERSHIPS and cancelled those owned by conservatives (easily identifiable since they had NOT CONTRIBUTED TO HIS ELECTION) and re-distributed the unsold autos, parts, physical facilities and contracts to DEMOCRAT OWNED GM dealerships. Now GM is on the point of a fresh NEW bankruptcy.
This administration is the biggest bunch of thieves and perverts that have ever been assembled and called a government.
I agree with you that the “little guy” ought to get some of this largesse.
Please don’t pretend that Obama or any one of his COMMUNIST BASTARD FRIENDS gives a CRAP about the “Little Guy.” They are just a bunch of lying pickpockets.
I would like to know many Job Holders LOST their jobs as a direct result of Obama’s dis-enfranchisement of all those “Republican” GM dealerships?
How many people who can only afford to buy a USED CAR got the shaft as a direct result of that supremely stupid “Cash-for-Clunkers” program? I remember when I was growing up that the Liberals of that time truly believed it was a sin to throw things away that could be repaired, serviced, maintained, fixed, and given new life. As far as I can tell, “CAsh-for-Clunkers” required the dealers to DESTROY cars that could have been returned to near-new performance by tune-ups, replacement of a few parts, etc.
The legislation made it a CRIME to salvage ANY PARTS from a car turned in to be destroyed under this program. THIS IS INSANE. The only logic to it was to artificially bump up the sales for GM products, and it didn’t even accomplish THAT.
