Justice . . . Sorta
It looks like we have an end to the ICE “female Frat House” scandal. That’s the scandal which cost one of DHS Secretary Janet Reno’s protégées, Suzanne Barr, her high-level political-appointee job in ICE.
DHS has filed notice of an out-of-court settlement with the whistleblower in the case, James Hayes. Hayes will remain employed by ICE – and will also receive a payment of $175k as damages.
So much for those initial claims that Hayes’ allegations were unfounded. I guess DHS decided they really didn’t want folks who witnessed Barr’s antics to testify in open court regarding what they saw.
I say this is “sorta” justice because it is. Real justice would require DHS to go after Barr to recover the $175,000 she cost US taxpayers by being an idiot and sexually harassing male subordinates.
I ain’t holding my breath, though.

Typical DHS.
Hayes is the man! Well known and liked in NYC.
Barr the was a trash talking drunk blonde you have seen at every party.
We should have filmed what she did at “Hogs and Heifers” …
Her father is rolling over in his grave .. he was well respected ploitician from AZ.
Does this mean Suzanne Barr is now free to replace Shinseki? She’ll fit right on.

Hondo, any idea if DHS had to cover Hayes’ attorney fees? I’m sure his lawyer asked for it, much more to cover his expenses than if he had to take it off the top of Hayes’ settlement.
And, I hope that Hayes has a fall-back job, I don’t see his future as all that good at DHS.
