Robert Erbe, a legal adviser to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that former agent Cory Voorhis is not entitled to a public hearing appealing his termination because agency operations could be disrupted if the public were permitted “to come in and out as they please” and because of “safety and security concerns,” The Denver Post writes.
Separately, Westword reports that Voorhis still hasn’t received a chunk of back pay that was supposed to have come his way as the result of a July settlement. The back pay covers the period between Jan. 23 and April 10, 2008. Voorhis’ attorney, Thomas F. Muther Jr. of Minahan & Muther, has filed a petition for enforcement; the document is published below.
