>> the vermont court did, yes. because vermont saw this as a marriage between husband and wife. if one spouse is not getting visitation to the other spouse, which after a while lisa stopped giving visitation, she argued to protect her child, the vermont court under its own view now, family, was going to do which was order lisa to give up her child because she didn't give visitation anymore. >> where it is lisa no? >> have no idea. the only thing i know is there have been some court proceedings taking place. there's been people arrested, two pastors have been arrested at one point allegedly helped lisa through the country. >> where they affiliated with liberty counsel? >> they were not. they were mennonite pastors but i know all of this to the affidavits that have been filed in court, and access to court website and through media reports, there's been coverage on it, that one was a mennonite pastor in nicaragua i believe, and he was alleged to have been involved helping her. another was a mennonite pastor here in this country. who was alleged now and facing trial for helping her

vermont sought it as a husband and wife and leases stopped giving visitation their vermont court did to order lisa to give up the child because she would not order visitation. >>host: where is she now? >> i have no idea. to pastors have been arrested allegedly helping her flee the country. >> affiliated with liberty counsel? >> they were urbanite pastors. accessing through media reports, one is in nicaragua alleged to be involved another was here in the country and face saying trial helping her flee the country with her child. that is all i know. >>host: you were her lawyer at the time? the court case came down? >> the timing is different. there is a lot of motions made so we were waiting for the court to decide then after one month later sell she left about one month before. >>host: total surprise? >> complete surprise. we both went to the same church so i had spoken in two per one week before talking about applying were jobs but then i could not reach her by e-mail or phone. >>host: three years ago? >> yes. >>host: issue came back what would happen the goalie? >> right now facing f

we'll expand the workforce in saint alban's vermont, the vermont service center but i'm constantly impressed every time i see the men and women that work there. absent senator grassley senator kyl do you wish to make an opening statement before we go to the secretary? >> no. i think we want to hear from the secretary and then we'll all have questions. thank you. >> madam secretary, it's your -- the floor is open to you and then we'll go to seven minute rounds. we'll rotate in the usual manner from side to side in which people arrive. secretary napolitano please go ahead. >> thank you, chairman leahy and members of the committee. i thank the committee for your support of the department over these past three years and, indeed, since the department was founded more than nine years ago. before i begin, i want to address the allegations of misconduct by secret service agents in colombia. the allegations are inexcusable. and we take them very seriously. since the allegations surfaced i've been in close touch with director sullivan. the director took immediate action to remove the agents involved a

morton was in vermont, we discussed that then too. i think you're doing the best you can in the absence of congress taking up meaningful immigration reform. as you know i supported president bush's efforts for meaningful and comprehensive immigration reform. i would like to see that though it has little impact on my state of vermont, it has on the rest of the country. as we hold this hearing today the supreme court is hearing argument on the constitutionality of an arizona immigration enforcement law. the constitution of the u.s. declares the congress and federal government have the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. national immigration policy is properly a subject we should act upon. it shouldn't be left to a hodgepodge of state laws. i hope we can get back to where we can do good strong comprehensive bipartisan immigration policy. 2010 we passed an emergency appropriations to provide $600 million for border security enhancements. you've reportedly made significant strides there. i understand illegal border crossin

gone further but what's wonderful about vermont and the thing we shouldn't lose sight of is the reason the vermont legislature is going to such a clear position on this issue of money in politics is because people organized at the grassroots more than sixty vermont towns voted in march in favor of resolution saying that citizens united needed to be overturned that created a grassroots movement that fed up through the legislature there's an effort across the country now to get balance of american communities to step up on this issue and i think what's happened in vermont is a good indication that when we pass these resolutions at the local level if we do it at a critical mass we can get state legislatures to start to move and that's what we're going to have to do starts at the grassroots it moves to the states but this pressure's got to go on congress in washington to begin to dismantle what is to my mind the most destructive of all supreme court decisions in modern times and that is the citizens united ruling absolutely so we'll see john in fifteen seconds as the wisconsin recall going
