| Unredacted DHS OIG Report on San Bernardino incident with HSI Special Agents |
| 2016-06-07 |
| Background: On December 2, 2015, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, dressed in tactical gear and armed with .223 assault rifles, semiautomatic handguns, and body armor, opened fire during a holiday party at Farook's place of employment and killed 14 people and injured 22. The pair fled the scene in a black SUV, but left behind three different explosive devices. It took authorities several hours to render the scene safe and account for the dead and wounded. The attack, and the fact that the couple had not yet been apprehended, paralyzed the surrounding area. Residents were advised to stay indoors and at least one school was placed in lockdown. Later that day, police responded to a tip and, in a shootout in which hundreds of rounds were fired, killed the couple. Police discovered over 1,600 unused rounds of ammunition in their vehicle. A broad federal terrorism investigation ensued, which is continuing. Immediately after the attack, authorities did not know the full identity of those involved or whether further attacks were planned. It is in this context that the following events occurred. Both lengthy and appalling. Result: FOX News - Federal immigration boss at center of turf war over terror suspect transferred on heels of damning report. Federal Times, same incident. |

| #6 I see the term assault rifle is still being used. .223 doesn't sound scary. |

| #5 Methinks bedpan duty at Gitmo should be in her future, and no, we won't rescue her if taken hostage |

| #3 So if I understand correctly, the immigration person said you coppers can't come into my facility without my permission, and I don't have to give you any files pertaining to the San Bernardino shooting, since these files are protected? It gets better: the report last week faulted [Martin] for making agents wait more than 90 minutes before she gave them access to related files on the suspected terrorist, and then she dismissively ordered them to hand copy files, according to the federal report. |

| #2 Geez, this is so appropos of all my experience with the Feds in many different agencies. I've worked for SocSec and done IS consulting with the Navy, EPA, Dept. of Interior and several others. No one will ever talk to anyone not in their own cell. Cross agency cooperation is totally anathema to any bureaucrat. |

| #1 So if I understand correctly, the immigration person said you coppers can't come into my facility without my permission, and I don't have to give you any files pertaining to the San Bernardino shooting, since these files are protected? And that both of these assertions were later found to be, shall we say, bogus? Wasn't interagency cooperation supposed to happen after 9/11? Who appointed this moron? |
