N.J. Fugitive Worked for Homeland Security

(AP)  Prosecutors don't understand how a fugitive wanted in New Jersey worked for the Homeland Security Department in Georgia despite a nationwide alert for her arrest.

Tahaya Buchanan was sought on a 2007 indictment on charges of staging the theft of her Range Rover.

Paul Loriquet of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office says the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Atlanta was unaware of the 39-year-old's status even after Buchanan was arrested in July during a traffic stop in which police noticed the warrant.

Immigration spokeswoman Ana Santiago tells The Star-Ledger of Newark she did not have information on whether the office regularly checks its employee list against national criminal warrants.

Buchanan pleaded guilty to one charge of insurance fraud on Monday and faces three months probation.

Ironic is it not, that people can crash a party at the White House. A fugitive can work for Homeland Security. Yet Tiger Woods is being bashed by the media. Go figure.

Another sign that we have IDIOTS working at top dog jobs like this that are supposed to protect us and the
entire country. HELLO? ANYBODY HOME? HELLO?

I believe Barney and Goober could do a better job than that.
