The District Of Columbia is the capitol of the U.S. Why do we have so many illegal aliens in and near the seat of government?
Advocates raise concerns about immigration stops on DC-area parkways
Immigration advocates say they are seeing an increase in traffic stops and possible detainments involving federal law enforcement officers on major parkways around the nation’s capital.
Advocacy organization CASA told the News4 I-Team that over the past month, it has received numerous reports of work trucks and vans being stopped along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Clara Barton Parkway.
“The majority of these people who are detained are Black and brown immigrants,” said Alex Vazquez, CASA’s national organizing director. “A lot of the people do work in construction or plumbing, something that would require a white van or work vehicle.”
I wonder how many of these “advocates” actually live in the area, and have to deal with the crime from illegals? But, you know, they are upset that law enforcement enforcing duly enacted federal law interferes with illegals maintaining their lawns and fixing stuff at below standard cost. But
U.S. Park Police, a unit of the Department of Interior, said its officers are enforcing traffic laws. Commercial vehicles are not allowed on parkways without a special permit.
“Traffic safety enforcement remains a priority,” a DOI spokesperson said in a statement to News4, “including stopping commercial vehicles that are prohibited from using the parkway and addressing violations such as speeding or unsafe driving. The parkway is managed by NPS (National Park Service) as a historic and scenic federal roadway, designed for lighter traffic and passenger vehicles rather than heavy commercial transport.”
So, illegals provided driver’s licenses by liberals failing to properly obey the law? Weird.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson could not confirm any increased enforcement on parkways. But in a statement, ICE said the agency “has been conducting enforcement operations in Washington, DC, and on surrounding federal property, alongside our law enforcement partners since Aug. 10. ICE is proud to be part of the solution to make DC safe and beautiful again. For operational security and for the safety of our law enforcement personnel, ICE does not confirm, deny, or otherwise discuss ongoing or future operations. The agency publicly announces operational results when appropriate.”
According to a federal court affidavit reviewed by the I-Team, a Park Police sergeant acknowledged working alongside ICE and its Enforcement and Removal Operations officers during an Aug. 29 stop on the GW Parkway. The affidavit states officers attempted to determine the immigration status of a man cited for alleged reckless driving in a white van.
Perhaps if they learned and followed proper traffic laws they wouldn’t get stopped. That’s on them.
Our esteemed host asked:
For the same reason that Washington is a crime-ridden Hellhole: the city is run by Democrats, and Democrats really don’t like enforcing the law, unless it’s against police officers and Republicans. “No one is above the law!” they screamed when the left were trying to throw Donald Trump in jail, but when it comes to street criminals and illegal immigrants, f(ornicate) enforcing the law!
But, but, but… we were told that Big Donnie cleaned up D.C. using our military. No? Do we need to occupy the cities with the Army permanently?
Republicans dominate the White House, Senate, House, Supreme Court, the majority of state houses. Why are they having such a hard time Making America Great Again? Why are they making America worse (except for the rich)?
Mamdani (NYC mayor), Spanberger (VA gov) and Sherrill(NJ gov) appear likely to win today’s elections.
The ignorant right call them communists, left-wingers etc.
BTW, studies show that immigrants — including undocumented immigrants — are less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born. This is true at the national, state, county, and neighborhood levels, and for both violent and non-violent crime.
So stop lying.
We know, we know – their mere existence is a crime.
You know what are also crimes? Sexual assault. Fraud. Pardoning a crypto king who is enriching you. Attempting to overturn a presidential election. Stealing national security documents. Falsifying business records. Misusing charity funds.
Oh, and Release the Epstein Files.
Trump backed candidates lose in 3 big races
Trump polling continues to look bad. People are no longer believing his promises on the economy
Do you think the economy is doing well? Do you believe 3% inflation?
