DHS: Dozens of gang members released from custody due to 'sanctuary' policies

A report from the Department of Homeland Security says dozens of gang members – including members of the notorious MS-13 group – were released from custody, instead of being handed over to federal immigration authorities for deportation, due to "sanctuary" policies. 

"Two-thirds of the releases occurred in California, which has had a strict sanctuary policy in effect since January 2014," the Center for Immigration Studies said in a post on the data, pointing to "obvious public safety problems." 

Just to be clear: The number-one reason given by state authorities in California for adopting sanctuary policies is that it promotes public safety.  Their rationale is that illegal aliens who are unafraid of the police will cooperate in law enforcement activities.

Can't you just see MS-13 members eagerly talking to police about gang activity?

From October 2016 to June 2017, DHS says, sanctuary jurisdictions refused to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers on 142 suspected gang members – where ICE officials ask authorities to detain criminal illegal immigrants so ICE can take custody and deport them.

In the answers, the officials added that the numbers may be on the conservative side as jurisdictions that do not allow officials into jails make it more challenging to identify gang members. 

"Because ICE often determines gang affiliation through interviews, ICE cannot speculate about the number of times it was denied access to an alien in the custody of state or local authorities who may have had such an affiliation," the answers read.

Fifteen of those released were suspected members of MS-13, a gang started in the 1980s by Central American immigrants and known for its gruesome crimes.  The gang's presence across the country has been an escalating political issue.

"Violence is a central tenet of MS-13, as evidenced by its core motto – "mata, viola, controla," translated as, 'kill, rape, control,' the DOJ said in a 2016 release.  

With two thirds of releases of gang members occurring in California, and California's sanctuary law being challenged by both the Justice Department and several local jurisdictions, it seems that the state has a poor case that its non-cooperation with federal authorities makes residents safer.

You can bet that California is not tracking the criminal activity of released gang members.  Or if it is, we'll never hear about it.  The fact is, public safety in the state takes a back seat to the political advantages of refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials.  And from the number of local governments joining a suit against Sacramento challenging the state's sanctuary policies, it may be that a tipping point has been reached, and pushback against the sanctuary movement will result in a change in policy.

US Supreme Court strikes down part of deportation statute

By Kevin Martinez
19 April 2018

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court voted five to four against part of a statute that allowed the government to deport some immigrants convicted of “crimes of violence.” The decision angered the Trump administration which has fought to fast-track the deportation of all immigrants.

In a tweet Tuesday, President Trump stated, “Today’s Court decision means that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons.”

In its decision, the court affirmed a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that blocked the deportation of James Dimaya, a 25-year legal US resident from the Philippines, who was convicted of two burglaries. Dimaya came to the US when he was 13.

After he was convicted of two home burglaries in California, the government tried to deport Dimaya on the grounds that he had committed a “violent crime.” Although neither burglary involved violence or physical attacks against anyone, the statute defined a violent crime as any crime that involved a “substantial risk of force against the person or property of another.”

The Supreme Court ruled that the language was unconstitutionally vague and could be interpreted in an arbitrary and discriminatory way. The text of the statute was passed in 1984 with Democrats providing 210 of the 316 “yes” votes in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 78 “yes” votes verses just six of the 11 “no” votes. Those voting “yes” on this now-unconstitutional language include then-Congresspersons Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, and Al Gore as well as Senators Joe Biden, Daniel Moynihan, Bill Bradley, and Sam Nunn.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, appointed by Trump to succeed the deceased far-right Antonin Scalia, cast the deciding vote against the law along with the four nominally liberal judges.

In his opinion, Gorsuch wrote, “the Constitution looks unkindly on any law so vague that reasonable people cannot understand its terms and judges do not know where to begin in applying it.

“Vague laws,” he wrote, “invite arbitrary power.”

The case, Sessions v. Dimaya, was first argued in January 2017 but was left with a split vote after the death of Scalia. The justices were deadlocked four to four, and the case had to be reargued in October after Gorsuch joined the court.

In 2015, in a similar case called Johnson v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that a key part of the Armed Career Criminals Act (ACCA) was unconstitutional on similar grounds. The ACCA was also passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in 1984.

In Dimaya, Justice Elena Kagan wrote in an opinion that the lower courts had been unable to apply the law consistently.

“Does car burglary qualify as a violent felony?” Kagan asked. “Some courts say yes, another says no. What of statutory rape? Once again, the circuits part ways. How about evading arrest? The decisions point in different directions. Residential trespass? The same is true.”

The government’s brief argued that immigration statutes should be treated differently than laws which treated crimes. However, Kagan pointed to a 1951 Supreme Court Decision, Jordan v. De George, which held that both immigration and criminal laws should be tested for constitutional vagueness “in view of the grave nature of deportation.”

Clarence Thomas wrote a scathing dissent in which he argued that immigration laws require only the most minimal due process scrutiny.

While Tuesday’s decision came as a setback to the Trump Administration’s plan to fast-track deportation, the defense of democratic rights cannot be entrusted to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that immigrants awaiting deportation were not entitled to due process. In a five to three decision, the Court ruled in Jennings v. Rodriguez that the government can indefinitely detain immigrants, depriving them of the right to bail. Kagan recused herself from the decision because she previously argued against granting bond hearings in the same case when she was solicitor general under the Obama administration.

“Mexican drug cartels are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this country.” JUDICIALWATCH

“Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the kidnapping, murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of ovens at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up and complicity of the Mexican government.”

“Heroin is not produced in the United States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled into the United States. Indeed, this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017 when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com
