The Air Marshal Association issued a release last week commending\nthe exemplary service of Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) serving at the southern\nborder of the United States in response to the crisis created by an\nunprecedented number of undocumented alien entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the assignment is inconvenient for the FAMs\ndeployed, and the agency must adjust mission priorities to comply with the DHS\nmandate, the order for FAMs to assist border agencies is lawful. The Air\nMarshal Association has worked closely with Congressional offices and the TSA\nto reduce the duration of the border deployment from 30 days to 21 days, has\nworked to ensure deployed agents have appropriate clothing and equipment to\ncomplete their mission, and is providing full union representation to deployed\nagents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In was stated in the release that it is unfortunate that\nsome Federal Air Marshals would resort to incendiary, partisan, and\ninsurrectionist rhetoric to avoid being deployed to an undesirable assignment. According\nto the release fraudulent Air Marshal groups have formed that are espousing\n\u2018mutiny\u2019 and advising FAMs to disobey orders to deploy to the border, and noted\nthat these groups, and the individual agents that make them up, must be cut\nfrom government like a cancer. The AMA believes these individuals should be\ninvestigated as an insider threat and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the\nlaw and said that there is no room in law enforcement for agents that lack\nintegrity, promote insurrection, and fail to honor their oath of office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For decades, Federal Air Marshals have deployed to dangerous\nhotspots around the world to advance U.S. interests. Although the AMA believes\nthat their highly trained FAMs should be primarily used to investigate threats,\ngenerate intelligence, and serve as the last line of defense on high-risk\nmissions, the Association also recognizes that border integrity is critical to\nthe safety and security of our nation, and that the men and women of the Air\nMarshal Association are proud to serve their nation in this hour of need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
