City with Highest Per Capita Murder Rate Starts Defense Fund for
Illegal Aliens

Less than a year after Baltimore prosecutors ordered staff not to charge
illegal immigrants with minor, non-violent crimes because it could get the
offenders deported, Maryland’s largest city will hire immigration attorneys
to help those facing removal. It’s important to note that Baltimore has the
nation’s highest per capita homicide rate and has been coined the deadliest big city in
the United States by a mainstream newspaper.
Nevertheless, a city panel approved spending $200,000 this month to pay for
lawyers to represent illegal aliens with deportation orders. Baltimore
Mayor Catherine Pugh says in a local news report that
the goal is for everyone to get due process. “We’re not making a decision
as to their status, we’re making the decision to be supportive of
individuals who live in our city,” according to the mayor.
Unlike the criminal justice system, in immigration court the government
doesn’t offer free lawyers to those who can’t afford them. This means that
illegal aliens who don’t have the money to pay for one must represent
themselves in legal proceedings or rely on volunteer attorneys or
paralegals provided by immigrant rights groups. This leaves many illegal
aliens in removal proceedings without adequate legal representation.
The trend of using taxpayer dollars to assist illegal aliens in deportation
proceedings started under the Obama administration. In 2015, the former
president allocated $2 million to
hire attorneys to represent the influx of illegal alien minors in federal
immigration proceedings. The money flowed through a special program,
Justice AmeriCorps, launched by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive
Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
In response to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies,
American sanctuary cities took matters into their own hands by
creating local funds to
help illegal aliens facing deportation. Chicago’s City Council led the way
by approving a $1.3 million legal defense fund and the city of Los Angeles
followed with a $10 million fund to help illegal immigrants dodge justice.
Shortly after the city announced its special immigrant legal project, the
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors offered to kick in another $3
million to provide more lawyers. The only L.A. County Supervisor who voted
against the fund said it’s irresponsible to allocate taxpayer money for
such a program.
In the city’s case, the city attorney, whose office prosecutes crimes and
represents L.A. in litigation, said the money will ensure that there is
“more fairness and more effectiveness in the immigration system,” which, of
course, is a federal and not a state matter.
Baltimore took it a step further by also creating a policy to go easy on
alien criminals in state cases to avert collateral immigration
consequences. An internal memo issued by Baltimore’s Chief Deputy State’s
Attorney in mid-2017 instructs prosecutors to think twice before
charging illegal immigrants with minor, non-violent crimes.
The chief deputy, Michael Schatzow, writes in the memo that the Trump
administration’s deportation efforts “have increased the potential
collateral consequences to certain immigrants of minor, non-violent
criminal conduct.”
Schatzow is second-in-command to Baltimore’s top prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby,
and oversees major crimes at the state agency. “In considering the
appropriate disposition of a minor, non-violent criminal case, please be
certain to consider those potential consequences to the victim, witnesses,
and the defendant,” Schatzow wrote to his staff.
Besides Baltimore, two Maryland counties—Montgomery and Prince
George’s—offer illegal immigrants sanctuary. When the Trump administration
announced it would enforce immigration laws, Baltimore Mayor Pugh
reiterated that police and other public agencies in her city never ask
about immigration status. “We are a welcoming city,” the
mayor said in a local news report.
“We want everyone here. We want to be able to provide opportunities and
jobs and careers for folks. That’s where we are in Baltimore.” This year
Maryland legislators tried to pass a measure to make the state an official
illegal alien sanctuary but the bill, known as the Trust Act, hit
a roadblock in a Senate committee after passing in the House of Delegates
and the governor has vowed to veto it even if it survives.
Everyday there are 12 Americans murdered and 8
children molested by Mexicans!
Steinle’s murderer, Jose Zarate and been
deported 5xs!
"While walking with her father on a pier
in San Francisco in 2015, Steinle was shot by the illegal alien. Steinle
pleaded with her father to not let her die, but she soon passed in her father’s
arms."

Heather
Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional
committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los
Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail
inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest
street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted,
those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement
officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today.
