Two former agents with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, what is now called ICE, have been convicted, in Los Angeles, of defrauding the United States Federal Government of hundreds of thousands dollars.  Frank Johnston was convicted of 22 counts of wire fraud and one count of theft of government property over $500,000.  His wife, Teryn Johnston was convicted of two counts of providing false statements to federal prosecutors.

It appears that between 2002 and 2008, Frank Johnston, a high ranking supervisor with the INS, had allowed his wife, another INS agent to stay home with their kids and still receive her full $90,000 salary with benefits, overtime, and holiday pay on top. What maybe even more disturbing than this husband and wife team of thiefs, is that in their testimony at trial several ICE officials stated that they knew about this scheme but did nothing about it.

This goes beyond the outrageous. So this is how our Federal Government functions: some steal and others close their eyes and pretend that it is not happening.  How many more situations like this are occurring at this very moment?
