Immigration boss who barred feds from terror suspect up for award, but agency won't say why | Fox...

"Irene Martin heads the San Bernardino U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office, where last December, she allegedly blocked five armed Department of Homeland Security agents from the man authorities say supplied the firepower in the deadly attack a day earlier. Although an Inspector General's report found she acted improperly, and then lied to investigators, FoxNews.com has learned she has been nominated for the Secretary’s Award for Valor.

Department of Homeland Security officials declined to say what Martin did to merit consideration for the award, which is described as ‘the highest departmental recognition for extraordinary acts of valor by an employee or group, occurring while on or off duty’ and is reserved for ‘those who have demonstrated extraordinary courage in a highly dangerous, life-threatening situation or emergency under extreme stress and involving a specific act of valor, such as saving another person’s life or property.’

Past valor award recipients include government employees who have saved people from burning cars, sinking ships and weapon- wielding assailants."

Is this administration rewarding law-breaking?
