Another American law enforcement officer permanently separated from his family by an illegal alien who overstayed a visa

701,900 foreigners overstayed their temporary visas in fiscal year 2017

 

A Washington state Sheriff’s Deputy was killed last week in a shootout with an illegal alien who entered the United States lawfully on a temporary agricultural worker visa and never left, according to ICE.

Kittitas County Sheriff’s deputy Ryan Thompson was killed and Kittitas police officer Benito Chavez was shot in the leg in the gunfight last Tuesday night near Ellensburg. The alleged shooter, a Mexican citizen who was living in Ellensburg, was identified as 29-year-old Juan Manuel Flores Del Toro, according to the Washington Times.

Deputy Thompson is survived by his wife and their three children.

According to official reports, The deputy and Kittitas police officer attempted to stop a vehicle they had received a complaint about Tuesday night. The vehicle failed to stop, which resulted in a pursuit.

When the vehicle was finally stopped, the illegal alien suspect exchanged gunfire with the deputy and police officer. The deputy was fatally wounded and was later pronounced dead at Kittitas Valley Hospital, the sheriff’s office said.

According to an August, 2018 DHS report, 701,900 foreigners overstayed their temporary visas in fiscal year 2017. Experts agree that about half of the illegal aliens currently looking for a better life in the U.S. are visa overstays and did not come over American borders illegally.

In a detailed “Backgrounder” report, the Washington DC- based Center for Immigration Studies has noted that “the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) overstay rate methodology, which uses admissions rather than individuals, produces a deceptively low overstay rate that does not reflect the true magnitude of the problem.”

A Memorial Service for Kittitas County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Thompson will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 28, 2019 at the Nicholson Pavilion, 715 E. Dean Nicholson Blvd., on the Central Washington University Campus in Ellensburg, Washington according to an official  press release. “Deputy Thompson was born in 1976, grew up in Walla Walla, and graduated from Central Washington University in 2003.”

According to the Kittitas County webpage, Deputy Thompson provided 14 years of exceptional service to Kittitas County as a law enforcement professional.

The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center

By Bob Moser

“Everything feels so out of whack,” I said. “Where are the lawyers? Where’s the diversity? What in God’s name is going on here?”

“In the days since the stunning dismissal of Morris Dees, the co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, on March 14th, I’ve been thinking about the jokes my S.P.L.C. colleagues and I used to tell to keep ourselves sane. Walking to lunch past the center’s Maya Lin–designed memorial to civil-rights martyrs, we’d cast a glance at the inscription from Martin Luther King, Jr., etched into the black marble—“Until justice rolls down like waters”—and intone, in our deepest voices, “Until justice rolls down like dollars.” The Law Center had a way of turning idealists into cynics; like most liberals, our view of the S.P.L.C. before we arrived had been shaped by its oft-cited listings of U.S. hate groups, its reputation for winning cases against the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations, and its stream of direct-mail pleas for money to keep the good work going. The mailers, in particular, painted a vivid picture of a scrappy band of intrepid attorneys and hate-group monitors, working under constant threat of death to fight hatred and injustice in the deepest heart of Dixie. When the S.P.L.C. hired me as a writer, in 2001, I figured I knew what to expect: long hours working with humble resources and a highly diverse bunch of super-dedicated colleagues. I felt self-righteous about the work before I’d even begun it.

The first surprise was the office itself. On a hill in downtown Montgomery, down the street from both Jefferson Davis’s Confederate White House and the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, where M.L.K. preached and organized, the center had recently built a massive modernist glass-and-steel structure that the social critic James Howard Kunstler would later liken to a “Darth Vader building” that made social justice “look despotic.” It was a cold place inside, too….More here.

 

An illegal alien from Guatemala who reportedly tried to claim asylum in the U.S. is under arrest in Mobile, Alabama for the death of a teacher at the Living Word Christian Center Kingdom Academy in a Monday morning head-on collision.

MyNBCTV:

Prosecutors say Marcos is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who tried to claim asylum in Arizona in 2017. When he was a no show to his hearing, prosecutors say he was denied asylum and issued a final order of deportation. Authorities didn’t catch up with him until Monday’s crash.

Marcos is charged with homicide by vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries. He’s due in court Friday for a bond hearing. The state will request he not be released.

Robert Spencer in Frontpage magazine: “So long, everybody. If I’m shut out of all platforms over the next few days, you’ll know why.”

March 18, 2019

Calling for or justifying a massacre of innocent people is one thing. But that “failing to address far-right extremism on their platforms” is quite another. For years now, Leftists and Islamic supremacists have insisted that opposing jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women and others constitutes “far-right extremism.” So it is likely that those who will be shut down will not be limited solely to people such as this “24-year-old from Oldham” who was “making reference and support for the terrible events.” It will include foes of jihad terror.

My friends, it could be time for me to be saying goodbye. Leftist and Islamic groups have been trying for years to silence all criticism of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others, and in the New Zealand massacre they see the best chance in a long time to move in for the kill. I (along with other foes of jihad terror) could be banned from everything and rendered a non-person, a la Alex Jones, any day now.

This is no exaggeration. Meeting in Istanbul, the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) has called on non-Muslim countries to ban “Islamophobia,” which means criticism of Islam, including analysis of the motivating ideology fueling jihad terror. IUMS President Ahmed al-Raisouni said Friday: “IUMS calls on non-Muslim countries to ban the spread of hatred against Islam and Muslims.”

Since analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror is routinely smeared as “hatred of Islam and Muslims,” this will likely outlaw all such analysis and make opposition to jihad terror effectively impossible.

And these bans are very likely coming. In America, they won’t take the form of actual laws forbidding criticism of Islam (although remember that Tom Perez, the current head of the Democratic National Committee, refused to rule out the implementation of such laws a few years ago, when he was Assistant Attorney General in the Obama administration). They’re more likely to take the form of a complete deplatforming. We will be able to speak, but no one will be able to hear us, as we won’t be allowed on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the rest.

IUMS was not alone. Saudi King Salman tweeted: “The heinous massacre that targeted worshippers in the mosque in New Zealand is a terrorist act, and it reaffirms the responsibility of the international community in combating hate speech and terrorism that is not condoned by religions or the values of tolerance.” Apparently terrorism that is condoned by religions is fine with him, as in “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). But by “hate speech” he almost certainly means honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence.

Domestically, the call for censorship came from the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has for years been trying to shut down all opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others. They have succeeded in fooling many people into thinking that it is “bigotry” and “racism” to oppose jihad terror, and have made those who discuss the motivating ideology behind jihad terror toxic in the public square. Now Hamas-linked CAIR is attempting to use the New Zealand massacre to achieve total victory: the complete closure of all media platforms to foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression… Read more here.

 

Breitbart News

March 17, 2019

The Department of Homeland Security released 84,500 foreign family members into the United States since December after they crossed through the U.S.-Mexico border, Breitbart News has confirmed.

In newly confirmed federal data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, Breitbart News has learned the massive scale and scope of DHS’s ramped up Catch and Release policy.

For months, DHS officials have said privately that the Catch and Release program has been taken to new heights, while ICE union officials declared this week that the program was in “overdrive” under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Between December 21, 2018 and March 5, DHS has released a total of 84,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. This release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later.

San Antonio, Texas has had to absorb most of these released border crossers and illegal aliens, with about 37,500 being dropped off in the city. Another 24,000 were dropped off in El Paso, Texas, while 14,500 were released in Phoenix, Arizona and 8,500 were released in San Diego, California.

At this rate, DHS is releasing more than 42,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country about every month. Should this current Catch and Release rate remain throughout the calendar year, by the end of 2019 DHS will have released more than half a million border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. Read more here.

ICE Acting Field Office Director Erik Bonnar said his agency has had nearly a dozen detainer requests for Arevalo-Carranza that have gone unanswered. They filed a 10th detainer on his on Tuesday after his arrest

Bambi Larson Murder Suspect In U.S. Illegally With Lengthy Criminal Record

KPIX TV San Fransisco

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) – A transient arrested in the murder of Bambi Larson was in the United States illegally and had a lengthy history of arrests in the South Bay and Los Angeles, authorities said Tuesday.

San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia said Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza “stalked” Larson’s neighborhood before allegedly killing her with a knife and blunt force trauma.

“Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza stalked this San Jose neighborhood and his victim,” said San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia. “He is a self-admitted gang member.”

Garcia then detailed his lengthy criminal record.

“His criminal history convictions consist of in Feb. 2013 he was detained by the Department of Homeland Security at the border near McAllen, Texas, and deported.”

“In 2015, he was arrested for drug paraphernalia. In 2015 he was convicted of burglary in San Jose. In 2016, battery of an officer, resisting arrest and entering a property. In 2016, he was arrested for battery in Los Angeles. In 2017, he was arrested and convicted of false imprisonment in San Jose. On April of 2018, arrested for paraphernalia again. In May, he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine.”

“In August of 2018, he was arrested for prowling. On October 2018, he was arrested for false identification and paraphernalia once again.”

Garcia said Carranza was currently on probation for the possession of methamphetamine, paraphernalia, false imprisonment and burglary.

“Unfortunately, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) placed detainers on this individual six separate times. Two in the Los Angeles area and four in the County of Santa Clara,” he said.

ICE detainers are requests to hold people suspected of being in the country illegally for longer than their jail terms until they can be questioned by federal immigration authorities.

Garcia was critical of the sanctuary city, county and state policies that prevented Carranza from being turned over to immigration officials.

“Those undocumented citizens who are not violent or serious criminals should not fear the police,” he said. “But when we have violent or serious offenders that are preying on our community we must have the ability to protect our residents. We will go to the ends of the earth to find a predator like this. We put the case together, put them in jail and then it is up to the rest of the system to determine what happens next.”

“The City of San Jose and our police department has no control over how the county interacts with federal immigration enforcement in the deportation of violent or serious felons like Carlos Arevalo Carranza.”

Paul Kelly, president of the San Jose Police Officers Association, said the crime should have never happened.

“Not in a million years. We have to change the laws that protect monsters like this suspect,” said Kelly.

“If you have dreamers that are just trying to survive and make a better life for themselves, that’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about changing the laws that protect criminals that will violently attack women.”

ICE Acting Field Office Director Erik Bonnar said his agency has had nearly a dozen detainer requests for Arevalo-Carranza that have gone unanswered. They filed a 10th detainer on his on Tuesday after his arrest…. Read the rest here.

Readers may remember that Gov. Kemp ran on a promise of being tough on illegal immigration. With respect, it would seem that it would be easier to solve a problem if it was officially measured. How many “undocumented workers” are in our prison system, and what is the cost to Georgia taxpayers for this “cheap labor?”

HB 202 as dead as Pancho Villa – Executive Order needed: Insider Advantage Georgia

March 12, 2019

D.A. King

This writer is grateful to IAG for the recent space here to alert readers to the peril of House Bill 202 in the House Rules Committee run by Rep. Jay Powell (R-Camilla). The simple bill would require the Georgia Department of Corrections to inform the public on the number of non-citizens, including illegal aliens, in our prison system along with their home countries, crimes committed, and the percentage of the entire inmate population that group represents.

Apparently HB 202 was deemed to have created too much needless information to be made public.

With Crossover Day behind us, Rules Committee Chairman Powell did not allow the bill to go to the House for a vote, where it had the support to easily pass. Unless it is attached to an already-passed House bill by the Republican senate, HB 202 is as dead as Pancho Villa and will not become law this year.

Including the discredited SPLC, GALEO and CAIR, the leftist, corporate-funded illegal alien lobby that worked against passage has claimed yet another win here in the Peach State with the defeat of HB 202. They are warily crowing about their victory.

While the Capitol reports from the rest of Atlanta media have carefully ignored it, the legislation, Rep Powell’s thumbs-down decision and the fact that GOP-ruled Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than green card holders has captured the attention of small newspapers around the state and several national news outlets, including Breitbart News. We will see more on this story.

It should be noted that because our new Governor, Brian Kemp has the authority, he could easily issue an Executive Order to require the Dept. of Corrections to create and make public the quarterly reports that HB 202 would have mandated… Read the rest here.
