"Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder expressed disappointment Monday that the U.S. border is exempt from his new racial profiling ban, after the Department of Homeland Security rejected his plan as too risky. ... In a conference call with law enforcement officials Monday afternoon, the attorney general “made it clear that he was quite disappointed” with that concession, one person on the call told Yahoo News on the condition of anonymity. When asked why the new policy wouldn’t apply to DHS, Holder said that the agency, which is led by Jeh Johnson, had pushed back on the racial profiling policy, telling him it needed to be able to use race as a factor in some of its law enforcement activities to keep the nation safe. The source said Holder deployed some lighthearted sarcasm to convey his disappointment, asking, “What do I know? I’m just the attorney general of the United States." A Justice Department official said that the attorney general was not being sarcastic and that he was sincerely explaining to the law enforcement officials that he can’t tell other agencies that aren’t under his purview what to do." - Liz Goodwin, Dec. 9, 2014.
