The Department of Homeland Security has announced that TPMmuckraker favorite Julie Myers will step down as head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), effective November 15th.

Then last week, on the eve of the election, law enforcement sources leaked to the Associated Press the news that Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, had been denied a request for asylum four years ago. The leak, which is being looked into by internal investigators at ICE, appears to have violated government regulations, and, as TPMmuckraker reported Monday, may increase the chances that Onyango could be persecuted if she's deported.

1. As Keith pointed out, this was just the last in a series of asinine things she has done to

ensure her place in the Idiot's Hall of Fame.

3. Take a look at her Halloween "contest" winner choice!!!

Myers, the leader of a federal law enforcement agency that has some 15,000 employees, was part of a three-member panel at the Halloween event that was assigned the holiday task of doling out awards for the best costumes. Some 50 to 75 people were at the Halloween gala, according to press reports, so the competition was fierce.

But apparently, in Myer’s mind, one of the winners was a clear-cut choice. That individual played off the law enforcement theme of the gathering by donning a striped prison outfit as a costume. His originality was only outdone by his creativity. In a clever allusion to the century’s old history of slavery and its more recent Jim Crow cousin, the ICE employee also sported a dreadlock wig and blackface.

Myer’s was so overwhelmed with the sheer brilliance of this individual’s attire that she and two other individuals on the judging panel selected this white employee’s Halloween getup for the most original costume award. Caught up in the excitement of the moment, Myers also sought to memorialize the moment by posing for a photo shoot with the blackfaced reveler.

But Myers and ICE, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), reacted quickly, destroying all of the photos (or evidence) of the winning entry and quickly issued an apology to all the usual groups, including the National Association of African-Americans in the Department of Homeland Security, and to House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.

Myers’ apology did include a caveat, however, which was communicated to the press through an ICE flak who claimed that technically the ICE employee was not wearing blackface, but rather only a “skin bronzer.” The ICE spin manager also claimed that Myers did not realize the costume-award winner was gobbed up in make-up until after the event, when some ICE employees complained.
