Teacher Fired after Tweets Asking Trump to ‘Remove the Illegals’ from Her School
Listen to the Article!
Despite an independent examiner’s finding that she was merely exercising “free speech about a matter of public concern,” a Texas teacher has been fired for asking President Donald Trump to save her school from being overrun by illegal aliens.
In May, Carter-Riverside High School English teacher Georgia Clark posted a series of tweets asking President Trump for help because her school had been “taken over” by illegal alien students - including some drug dealers - local station WFAA reports:
“In a series of tweets from May that have since been deleted, Clark called on President Trump to "remove the illegals from Fort Worth."…“@realdonaldtrump I do not know what do. Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated”…“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District [ISD] is loaded with illegal students from Mexico. Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them. Drug dealers are on our campus and nothing was done to them when the drug dogs found the evidence.”
The tweets were deleted soon after posting, but not before inciting the fury which led the Fort Worth ISD board to vote to terminate Clark’s employment.
An ensuing review by an independent examiner found that Clark had simply been practicing free speech, that her firing was unwarranted, and that she be reinstated, WFAA reports:
“Before Labor Day, an independent examiner working on behalf of the Texas Education Agency put out a 76-page report saying that Clark’s termination, ‘is not justified, is not supported by the evidence, should not be approved and should not be upheld and that Georgia Clark’s appeal of the proposed termination be granted and that FWISD decline to terminate the employment of Georgia Clark.’…“The examiner found that Clark's tweets were, ‘a private citizen's free speech about a matter of public concern.’”
Nonetheless, on Tuesday, the Fort Worth ISD board voted unanimously to uphold Clark’s dismissal.
During the height of the controversy, Clark told WFAA that she had no regrets that she issued her plea to President Trump because she felt she was doing God’s work:
“No, I don’t. Because, frankly, God was saying you need to do this now.”
GRAPHIC EXCLUSIVE — Los Zetas Cartel Cuts Face Off Innocent Victim
2:22
MONTERREY, Nuevo Leon – Gunmen with Los Zetas cut the face off a man who was romantically involved with a relative of a cartel member. After being threatened, the victim tried to flee the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, but was not able to outrun the criminal organization.
Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive access to case files from the murder of Emmanuel Marquez Cardenas, a local resident of Nuevo Laredo, who fled to Monterrey to avoid the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas. Photographs from the scene revealed that gunmen tracked down Marquez Cardenas, kidnapped, and tortured him with bladed weapons before cutting off his face and shooting him several times. His eyes and nose also appear to be removed.
The case began earlier this year when Marquez Cardenas lived in Nuevo Laredo and received death threats from CDN-Los Zetas. The threats came after the victim began dating a woman he met at a convenience store who is the relative of a cartel member. Fearing for his life, he fled to the Monterrey area.
The victim was working as a local security guard when the CDN kidnapped and murdered him. The ruthless criminal organization was behind most of the murders in and around Monterrey this year. The CDN-Los Zetas gunmen are actively hunting rival and independent drug distributors to control the local sale of meth and other drugs.
The aftermath of the murder revealed that Los Zetas has established surveillance operations over the bus station in Nuevo Laredo. Relatives of Marquez Cardenas identified and claimed the body only after gunmen questioned them at the bus station.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Tony Aranda from Nuevo Leon.
Border Patrol Has Already Arrested More Than 4,000 Criminal Aliens This Year
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Chief Carla Provost announced over the weekend that since the beginning of the year, agents working along the southern border with Mexico have arrested more than 4,000 illegal aliens with serious criminal records.
These numbers come as border officials tout an overall decrease in illegal border crossings in recent months, crediting President Trump's policies, while stressing the crisis is ongoing and the need for Congress to act is still dire.
"We’re still in a crisis. It’s still both border security and humanitarian by virtue of what we are seeing, even last month," CBP Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez said during an interview with Fox News last week. "Our colleagues in immigration and customs enforcement, they are the primary agency charged with longer-term detention. We at customs and border protection, and particularly the border patrol, both at our ports of entry and at those stations, are really short-term holding facilities. As everybody knows, over the course of the summer they became absolutely oversaturated. These are facilities that were never meant to hold people long-term.”
"Congress just got back in town. It is time for them to get to work with us to find lasting solutions to this ongoing challenge," he continued. "What I can tell you by virtue of nearly 27 years of experience and being a career law enforcement professionals is this: it’s that the challenges and the loopholes to the legal framework that have been fueling first the border security crisis that evolved into a humanitarian crisis have been present through several administrations. Not just the last two – in some cases even beyond that."
