Watchdog says senior Homeland official broke no laws

A senior Obama administration official violated agency ethics policies but did not break any laws when he intervened in three visa cases involving foreign investors with ties to prominent Democrats, a government watchdog told Congress Thursday. The Homeland Security Department's now deputy secretary used his post as head of the department's immigration benefits-processing agency to expedite the paperwork in a program long riddled with problems and backlogs, the department's inspector general, John Roth, said.
