WASHINGTON (AP) — A new oversight report says the Obama administration wrongly denied for weeks in 2013 that it had released more than 2,000 immigrants from jails. The reason? It says lower-ranking government officials failed to notify the Homeland Security secretary they were letting them go due to budget concerns.

The 41-page report from the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general also says officials at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to plan for the rise of immigrant arrests and didn’t track spending.
