Chris Crane, president of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council, which represents immigration enforcement officers, recently called on Congress to resist immigration reforms that harm his officers’ ability to do their jobs: "ICE officers are being ordered by [Administration] political appointees to ignore the law. Violent criminal aliens are released every day from jails back into American communities. ICE Officers face disciplinary action for engaging in routine law enforcement actions. We are barred from enforcing large sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, even when public safety is at risk. Officer morale is devastated."

54 Acquitted in Church Burning Case in India
A court in India's northeastern state of Orissa acquitted 54 people who were accused of participating in an anti-Christian riot that lead to the burning of Odia Baptist Church and 14 Christian homes in the village of Barkhama in 2007. This anti-Christian riot was only a small prelude to the mass violence that would be visited upon the Christian community of Orissa only a year later in 2008. After the murder of Swami Saraswati, Christians in Orissa were singled out by the Swami's radical followers and for 3 months were the targets of mob violence. At the beginning of October, 7 Christian men falsely accused of the Swami's murder were sentenced to life in prison in a trial that was 5 years delayed and anything but free and fair. These two court decisions illustrate the discrimination and persecution of Christians that still exists in Orissa 5 years after the 2008 riots.
Burma: Despite Persecution, U.S. Considers Military Assistance
In the following opinion editorial Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona, a leading campaigner for international religious freedom, and Congressman Jim McGovern, co-chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, warn of the dangers of the United States developing a quick relationship with Burma's military. The article correctly points out, and ICC sources confirm, that major human rights abuses in the country have not ceased despite a nominal transition to a civilian government. Ethnic groups such as the Chin, Kachin, and Karen, who are pre-dominantly Christian and have spent more than 50 years fighting the Burmese military, see very little improvement in the religious discrimination demonstrated by the Buddhist dominated Burmese army. In the last offensive between Burmese forces in the Kachin, from the summer of 2011 until January of this year, sources reported that more than 60 Christian churches were burned to the ground by Burmese troops.
