Report: Illegals released by feds committed 19 murders, 142 sex crimes

[jimnyc]

A criminal is a criminal is a criminal.


The Obama administration declined to try to deport more than 36,000 illegal immigrants that were arrested on other charges between 2008 and 2011, including some who went on to commit 19 murders, 3 attempted murders and 142 sex crimes, the House Judiciary Committee said Tuesday.

All told, the administration was alerted to nearly 160,000 immigrants — most of them here legally — who were arrested during the three-year period. They went on to be charged in nearly 60,000 more crimes, according to the committee and the Congressional Research Service, which issued a report on the matter.

The findings stem from the Obama administration’s Secure Communities program, which was designed to identify immigrants who run afoul of the law and who the administration decides it wants to deport.

While hundreds of thousands have been sent back home under the program, 159,286 were not put in deportation proceedings during the period under review, CRS said.

About three quarters of those weren’t eligible for deportation because they were legal immigrants and their criminal records didn’t rise to the level of deportation, though nearly a quarter could have been deported, CRS said.

ICE Agents face critical decisions following events in El Paso PR Newswire



EL PASO, Texas, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Tuesday's incident in El Paso is unacceptable, as a union we must find a way to protect our officers as well as public safety in spite of the Administration's reckless new approach to immigration enforcement," said Chris Crane, President of the National ICE Council, which represents approximately 7,000 ICE agents, officers and employees. "A foreign national illegally in the United States attempted to escape from ICE agents, assaulting and injuring one officer in the process, which is itself a Federal Felony. Instead of being charged and held in custody, agents were ordered by ICE managers to release the alien without criminal or immigration charges, essentially granting amnesty under President Obama's new policies simply because the alien is a certain age, attending school, and residing in the United States. I don't believe any American is asking for such an extremist approach to limiting immigration enforcement," said Crane.


The alien involved in the assault and attempted escape was arrested and jailed by sheriff's deputies earlier that same morning and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member and interfering with a person attempting to make an emergency phone call for assistance. ICE agents were following up on what prior to the Obama Administration would have been considered a routine jail check in search of aliens arrested by local police on criminal charges. Agents allege that following the escape attempt, the 5'9, 245 lbs subject was pursued for approximately one block before being captured. While the criminal alien was released without charge, agents were questioned before medical treatment was even administered and may face disciplinary charges from ICE regarding the escape. One agent is medically restricted from duty for at least two weeks due to injuries sustained during the incident.


"ICE managers didn't even question the criminal alien but instead ordered that he immediately be released in accordance with the President's new immigration polices stating that ICE's mission now is to identify aliens and release them," said Crane. "As an agency we're just checking boxes in an effort to release everyone we can. Law enforcement, public safety and common sense are all out the window; officers are under orders to ignore the danger signs, even when they witness a possible felony assault of one of our own officers."


"We've been trying to get more details about the Administration's newest policies and give them a chance, but what we're seeing concerns us greatly," Crane explained, "agents and officers are being ordered to do what they know is wrong under threat of losing their jobs." ICE officers and their union say they've made every effort to reach out and work with the Obama Administration, to include a trip to the White House to meet with high ranking Administration officials. "After the meeting they just cut us off and refuse to communicate with us, it's disheartening, I guess we just don't represent enough votes to be of any importance," said Crane.

Does it say how many crimes were committed by those of other races and nationalities while on parole?

All told, the administration was alerted to nearly 160,000 immigrants — most of them here legally — who were arrested during the three-year period. They went on to be charged in nearly 60,000 more crimes, according to the committee and the Congressional Research Service, which issued a report on the matter.

If they are here legally, then they aren't illegals. Duh... :lame2:

This is the primary jist of what this was posted for:

Of course you try and obfuscate the issue again, like bringing up GWB in so many threads. This isn't about parole, this is about ILLEGALS, that wouldn't have went on to commit the majority of these crimes had they been handled properly.

A -- Well, of course it wouldn't have happened! The reason we have illegals is that we haven't secured the border. The reason the border is not secure is that no one wants to get tough on border security.
The PRIMARY reason why illegals cross the border is that they can find jobs here. If we SHUT DOWN the businesses that employ illegals, they would no cause to cross the border. But we can't/won't do it, because the businesses can hire lawyers and the illegals can not.
Solution: Bring all of our troops home from the Middle East and transfer them into Border Patrol. And shut down any business caught hiring illegals more than once. Some companies have dozens of violations and are still in business.

B -- Since when do you use words like "obfuscate?" :eek:

None of that is to the point, that once caught, THEN they should be handled at that point, not set back into the water like a fish to go and commit more crimes. The obfuscation is bringing up parolees, jobs and anything else. What I posted is open and shut - if the laws were upheld when these people were in custody, the very overwhelming majority of these crimes wouldn't have been committed.

As for the word, don't know what to tell ya, do a search with my name and the word, but words - obfuscate/obfuscation. It's not like I use a word a day dictionary and post things I don't know about.

So he was arrested, in custody, and charged according to state law. Then ICE comes around investigating and the guy almost gets away, agents get hurt...only to find out he wasn't deportable. Now I disagree that this guy shouldn't be convicted and deported, but it sounds like the ICE agents screwed up; go figure their union has there back.

I think you're reading it wrong. Dream by EO took precedence.

Maybe; but sounds like he was arrested and charged under state law, not federal. dream act makes him non-deportable, not immune from state laws. Am I wrong; does the dream act give amnesty for all crimes?
