"We have an immigration crisis in our
country, all right, and it is a good deal more
demonstrably wrong than the millions of
illegal immigrants in the shadows. It is cost-
lier to the fabric of American life than the
September 11 attacks were. Illogical, deadly,
ruinous. Yet none of our leaders is raising
a finger to stop it. On the contrary, it is our
leaders who drive the destruction."
—Ames Holbrook, from The Deporter

As one of fewer than six hundred elite Deportation Officers in the country, Ames Holbrook was assigned to the criminal mecca of New Orleans. He was charged with capturing and expelling some of the most wretched murderers, rapists, and child molesters who were aliens in the United States.

But Holbrook was thwarted at nearly every turn . . . by the same U.S. government that employed him.

Why? The reasons will shock and infuriate you.

In the course of his compelling story, you will read the truth about how foreign governments treat the United States when agents such as Holbrook try to send criminal aliens back to their homelands. And, even more appalling, how Washington's political hypocrisy forces the direct release of these criminals into unsuspecting American communities. Like every U.S. Deportation Officer, Ames Holbrook tried to make America safer. Then, when America's leadership threatened the welfare of innocents, Holbrook rewrote the rules. He won commendations and increased responsibility for his promising results, but all the while, he was fighting a losing battle against the political powers that masqueraded as protectors while actually inflicting tragedy on Americans.

It is Holbrook's hope that the revelations in these pages might put America on a path to a safer future.

Ames Holbrook was a U.S. Army artillery officer with a special weapons team in Italy and then with the 3rd Infantry Division in Germany before he served as a federal Deportation Officer from 1998 to 2002. He now lives in Thailand and maintains a small troop presence in New Orleans.
