“End detainment and deportations.” “ICE out of Gwinnett.”

Stacey Abrams seems to have clarified her position on illegal immigration and enforcement. Her ‘New Georgia Project’ distributed pre-addressed, information-gathering post cards featuring the demand to “keep ICE out of our communities” at an anti-enforcement forum in Georgia’s Gwinnett County last week.

In a state with more illegal aliens than green card holders and more than Arizona, Gwinnett County is home to about 71,000 illegal aliens, or about 8% of the metro-Atlanta county’s total population according to stats from the Migration Policy Institute. The figures came with a depiction of the effects of immigration enforcement contained in a 2018 report from the leftist The Guardian.com.

The October 2 event was organized by several  militant extremist, anti-287(g) groups including the ‘Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights’ and the ‘Project South Institute for the Elimination of Poverty and Genocide’  to create opposition to the decade-old 287(g) agreement Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway has with ICE. Event organizers were surprised with the attendance and participation of pro-enforcement Americans after IAG and the Dustin Inman Society made the meeting in a public library known outside of the anti-enforcement circle. Several people on the pro-American side sent us photos and the post cards from Abram’s New Georgia Project.

Abrams, runner-up in the 2018 Georgia governor’s race,  has partnered with anti-borders groups (“communities in resistance”) that use banners and t-shirts to disparage immigration enforcement officers with the foreign language slang term “chinga la migra”

“Keep immigrant families safe”

As is now the default propaganda tool for the corporate-funded anti-borders mob and much of the media, use of the term “immigrants” is substituted for any reference to the fact that the support is aimed at and intended for illegal aliens.

Readers of all pronouns can see the reverse side of Abrams’ New Georgia Project postcard below.

Organizers dropped out of a two-sided discussion in July – but sent screaming protestors

Where and when: Collins Hill  Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library, 455 Camp Perrin Rd. Wednesday, October 2, at 6:PM.

Call it a “do-over.”

Several corporate-funded, anti-enforcement immigration groups have scheduled a “community forum” focused on the federal 287(g) program that allows local law enforcement to locate, report and hold illegal aliens in local jails. The program often leads to deportation.

The Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR), the Project South Institute for the Elimination of Poverty and Genocide, Women Watch Africa Inc. and BAJI – the Black Alliance for Just Immigration are listed in online fliers as organizers of the event.

GLAHR was co-founded in 2001 by former Mexican diplomat Teodoro Maus and Mexican-born Adelina Nichols. Nichols, who now runs the anti-borders company is a longtime activist against immigration enforcement and a proponent of drivers licenses for illegal aliens.  Legal & Advocacy Director for Project South is Iranian-born Azadeh Shahshahani who has worked with the ACLU and an off-shoot called ‘Georgia Detention Watch’ to end 287(g) agreements nationwide and to abolish detention of illegal aliens.

The event is intended to perpetuate false, race-baiting accusations against the 287(g) program and ICE and anyone who supports immigration enforcement.

Endless and shameless use of the term “immigrant’ to describe illegal aliens should be expected.

These are the goals the organizers hoped to pursue for in a six-person July panel discussion held by Democrat Gwinnett County Commissioner Marlene Fosque that included pro-enforcement panelists from the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s office, ICE and this writer from the Dustin Inman Society. Angry that the Dustin Inman Society was to be part of the event, Nichols, Shahshahani and the staffer from another open borders concern called ‘Asian Americans Advancing Justice’ dropped out at the last minute.

Fosque found three anti-287(g) stand-in panelists including a board member of the infamous and discredited GALEO , Democrat state legislator, Brenda Lopez Romero ,who is a candidate for congress in Georgia’s Seventh District. The discussion went south when Romero, unable to offer factual arguments against using the 287(g) crime-fighting tool, decided to change the topic to attacking D.A. King (me) personally.

The fact that the radical groups dropped out of the panel did not prevent them from igniting and displaying the hate for immigration enforcement they have instilled in their young followers who disrupted the meeting multiple times with screams, jeers and a display of signs inside the Gwinnett County commission auditorium directed at the ICE Agent panelist and this writer. The liberal press wrote it up with a ‘victims of borders vs oppression’ angle complete with false descriptions of pro-enforcement Americans being “anti-immigrant and “anti-immigration.”

According to the illegal alien lobby’s flyer, the anti-287(g) forum will be held at the taxpayer-funded, (open to the public) Collins Hill Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library, 455 Camp Perrin Rd. Wednesday, October 2, at 6:PM.

For Georgians who have not been exposed to the tax-exempt-trained and hate-fueled opposition to borders and immigration enforcement, the meeting is a ‘don’t miss. ‘

Note: It is unknown if there will be law enforcement present but having your camera at the ready is highly recommended.

The term “undocumented’ is racial code.”

Director of illegal alien ‘university’ says nation states ‘should not exist,’ citizenship is ‘completely arbitrary’

• Representatives from Freedom University, an educational institution with an undisclosed location dedicated to helping illegal aliens, spoke at St. Olaf College.
• F.U.’s executive director, Laura Soltis, said nation states “should not exist” and that citizenship is “completely arbitrary.”
• She also bragged about school members’ civil disobedience and arrest records.

Borders are not completely legitimate, citizenship is “ridiculous,” and the nation-state itself has no place in the future, according to the executive director of one Georgia university.

Freedom University prides itself on serving exclusively illegal alien students and advocating a progressive stance on immigration. On Monday, St. Olaf College in Minnesota hosted Dr. Laura Soltis, the school’s executive director, and Arizbeth Sanchez, its Community Engagement Coordinator, as well as an alum and current Freedom student to deliver a talk on “Solidarity In A New ICE Age,” attended by Campus Reform.

Before launching into declarations that the world would be better off without countries, the group began their hour-and-a-half on stage by providing some background on the work of Freedom University. Freedom was founded as a response to Georgia’s policy dictating that illegal aliens are entitled to free K-12 education, but may not attend the state’s public universities.

Soltis and her associates explained that Freedom University refers to itself as F. U., and brands this slogan on its official school T-shirts, like the one seen below. Read the rest here.

GALEO’s Jerry Gonzalez opposes IMAGE certification for city governments

Just when the Average Joe might think the anti-borders mob has hit peak crazy, GALEO’s Angry Jerry Gonzalez explains to a Georgia newspaper that verifying ID used in the hiring process and use of E-Verify along with voluntary audits of HR records equates to… wait for it… a “white nationalist agenda.”

Jerry Gonzalez is Executive Director of the corporate-funded (Coca Cola, Georgia Power, State Farm Insurance, Southwest airlines, Cox Enterprises, Western Union…) Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials in Atlanta. GALEO marches in the streets protesting any immigration enforcement, lobbies in the Georgia Capitol against any legislation designed to make life difficult for illegal aliens – while referring to them as “immigrants” – against official English and photo voter ID,  – you know the drill.

We have a long history of fighting the GALEO machine here.

Angry Jerry’s comments came in a news report in the Marietta Daily Journal on the upcoming vote to renew the city of Marietta’s IMAGE certification. For a quick idea of what the IMAGE program is, think of it as E-Verify on steroids. Here is a excerpt from the official IMAGE website:

“Undocumented workers secure jobs through fraudulent means such as presenting false documents, completing fraudulent benefit applications and stealing someone’s identity. To combat unlawful employment and reduce vulnerabilities that help illegal aliens gain such employment, ICE announced the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program in July 2006. This program assists employers to develop a more secure and stable workforce. It also enhances fraudulent document awareness through education and training.”

Note: Since the IMAGE audits are intended to catch illegal aliens using fake and stolen ID documents to get hired, we think the use of the goofy “undocumented worker” term on the ICE/IMAGE site is a leftover from the nightmare Obama years. The victims of borders have plenty of (illegal) documents.

In 2012, this pro-enforcement writer worked long and hard to see IMAGE certification for the county HR department in my home of Cobb County and in the two cities in the county that also are IMAGE certified. Jerry doesn’t like that.

Never let a massacre by a lunatic go to waste

Gonzalez, who is known to scream at and chase down pro-enforcement advocates – even if they are diminuative women, told the MDJ the (IMAGE certification) renewal is likely to further strain the relationship between Latinos and elected officials because it comes at an especially bad time. After the horrific killings in El Paso. And actual enforcement in Mississippi.

“Two days after a white nationalist committed a domestic terrorist attack against Mexicans and people of Mexican descent in El Paso, there were massive immigration raids in this country as well, with the president pushing a white nationalist agenda,” Gonzalez said. “That’s the kind of alliance the City Council will be allying with. … I don’t think the city of Marietta needs to be pushing a white nationalist agenda like the president is pushing.”

How will we know when they hit peak crazy – and disgusting?

“In some instances, immigrants were released from detention and outfitted with ankle monitors while awaiting deportation proceedings. Authorities tracking their GPS coordinates were able to see they were coming and going from Mississippi food processing plants.”

Over more than a decade, hundreds of undocumented workers across the country told federal officials they worked at food processing plants in Mississippi.

In some instances, immigrants were released from detention and outfitted with ankle monitors while awaiting deportation proceedings. Authorities tracking their GPS coordinates were able to see they were coming and going from Mississippi food processing plants.

On Wednesday, hundreds of immigration officials descended on seven Mississippi plants owned by five companies — Peco Foods, Koch Foods, PH Food, Pearl River Foods and MP Food Inc. They are suspected of “willfully and unlawfully employing” undocumented workers, recently unsealed search warrants say.

Workers reported hearing the roar of helicopters and seeing agents round up mostly Latino workers for questioning. Many wept as they waved goodbye to their family and friends being carted away on buses for processing.

It was the largest immigration sting of its kind in more than a decade. A total of 680 people were arrested. Of those, about 300 were released the same day, officials said. Those who remain in detention are being held in a ICE facility in Louisiana.

As for the companies, no fines or arrests have taken place, though federal officials say investigations into the companies are ongoing.

‘A safe place’: School districts reaching out after more than 150 students were absent

After ICE raids: How to help or get help in Mississippi

What did federal authorities know? How long have they been monitoring these companies?

Unsealed court records provide the first look into how federal authorities planned what officials have described as the largest single-state workplace enforcement action in the country, ever.

ICE filed for search warrants Monday at the seven plants. The records had been sealed until U.S. Magistrate Judge Linda Anderson approved a motion Thursday to open them.

Affidavits by ICE Special Agent Anthony Williams Jr. revealed that, for years, temporarily detained undocumented workers — from as far as El Paso, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona — had employment cards from plants in Mississippi. He also said electronic ankle monitoring, surveillance and a confidential informant played a part in where raids would be targeted.

 **UPDATED WITH AJC CORRECTION

Note, this piece was originally posted on the Dustin Inman Society blog.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution strikes again. Twice. In less than forty-eight hours.

After constantly correcting them – for sixteen years – on the fact that being pro-enforcement on immigration doesn’t qualify anyone, including me, as “anti-immigrant” or “anti-immigration” – and that I am neither – they have again labeled me as “anti-immigrant” And “anti-immigration.” Did I mention it was twice in less than forty-eight hours?

Oh, and BTW: They seem to not approve of the concept of nationalism. 

The morning after my late-night phone call/voice mail to an AJC reporter twenty minutes after his story on a Gwinnett County 287(g) panel discussion in which I participated hit the internet, the AJC changed their “anti-immigrant” description of me in the online version of the story to “anti-undocumented immigrant…” Then, in the same story for the next day’s print version ran a photo of me with the caption describing me as “a controversial anti-immigration activist.”

Without exaggeration, by phone, email and letters, I have told these people about fifty times that I fight for enforcement of immigration and employment laws and for sanity in immigration levels. That my adopted sister is an immigrant.  As are many donors and some members of the board of the Dustin Inman Society, which I founded in 2005.

The most recent example is a letter to the editor that was sent – and published – last June in response to another inaccurate and libelous depiction of yours truly as “anti-immigration” that was also changed after I complained:

“A recent column by the AJC’s Bill Torpy on the front of the Metro section falsely referred to me as an “anti-immigration activist.” The widely known truth is that for the last 15 years I have proudly fought for sanity in immigration and enforcement of American immigration laws. That effort is easily and succinctly described as “pro-enforcement.”

For the record – yet again – I am not “anti-immigration” any more than the folks at Mothers Against Drunk Driving are “anti-driving.” Neither is my adopted sister, who is an immigrant.

The reporters and leadership of the Georgia’s largest newspaper should be regarded as an organ of, and for, the illegal alien lobby from here on. I have asked for another correction and retraction.

The editor of the AJC is Kevin Riley. Despite the fact that the shrinking AJC has no public editor, neither he or most of his editors respond to my emails or phone calls. *Notable exception: Editorial Editor Andre Jackson, who I believe to be an honorable journalist in every sense of the word. Andre Jackson is the only employee I know at the AJC that I trust.

The story is too long to tell at one time here, so only a little expansion for now.

On a panel discussion in Gwinnett County focused on 287(g) an AJC reporter filed this story late on the same night as the event ( again, they don’t seem to like the self-description of “proud American nationalist” at all). The 1996 federal tool, 287(g) is designed to locate illegal aliens who land in local jails. Note that the anti-287(g) participants (some who dropped out) are referred to as “immigrant advocate groups.”

In the first try, I am described in this paragraph with

“King spoke first and audience members opposed to 287(g) greeted him with signs filled with his previous anti-immigrant rhetoric. His opening statement riled them further.”

After my phone call complaint, it was changed to:

“King spoke first and audience members opposed to 287(g) greeted him with signs filled with his past comments regarding undocumented immigrants. His opening statement riled them further.”

In the print version (that is also sent out electronically) of the same story that ran on August 2, the AJC editors reversed the reporter’s previous correction and inserted a photo of me with the caption:

“D.A. King, a controversial anti-immigration activist, represented the sheriff’s office on a panel discussion of the 287(g) program.” —  All italic emphasis mine.

Image: AJC

Not only is the “anti-immigration” activist description wrong. but the AJC has invented out of thin air the notion that I was somehow representing the sheriff’s office. I would have been very proud to do that, but I was asked to speak on 287(g) as president of the Dustin Inman Society.

So, questions for the AJC team – if I was supposedly representing the sheriff, who were the three anti-enforcement characters representing? How did it happen that only D.A. King was supposedly representing somebody else in your story?

–>*Update: Too funny: On Wednesday, August 7 on page 2. the AJC corrected the whole cloth fabrication that I was somehow on the panel as a representative of the Sheriff, here. But the “credible”, “compelling”, “complete” coverage AJC editor Kevin Riley constantly tries to sell on radio ads never corrected the fake news that I am an “anti-immigration activist” – while they portrayed the anti-enforcement mob as “immigrant advocates.”

Note to the propagandists at the AJC: Even the New York Times has made that correction on my motivation.

The young AJC reporter asked me one or two questions – and that was clearly an after-thought formality on his way out the door. His lead query to me?

“Do you think you inflamed this event? …by being here, I mean.”

Contact info for the AJC leadership here. The columns the AJC editorial page team has published from me listed here. Did they inflame anyone by printing them?

I have sent them a letter to the editor about the fact they use the disgraced SPLC as an arbiter of “hate…” I will post it tomorrow if they don’t run it.

*Update: An edited and shortened version of my letter finally ran. Many thanks to Mr. Andre Jackson.

Pee-uuuu.
