If this Breitbart report is correct, this is a dangerous escalation of the federal government’s use of blatant power, which violates multiple 1st Amendment Rights
As illegal immigrants continue to spill across the U.S.-Mexico border, federal authorities are attempting to relocate the migrants from South Texas to housing facilities in states across the nation. One such facility is located in Murrieta, California, where a large group of protesters recently blocked a bus full of migrants from arriving. The protesters remain there, adamant that illegal immigrants don’t get dumped in their town. But soon the concerned citizens may be forced to step down–Breitbart Texas has learned that federal agents plan to arrive in Murrieta on Monday with riot gear to ensure that another busload makes it to the housing facility.
Jeremy Oliver, a resident of Temecula, California–a town that neighbors Murrieta–told Breitbart Texas that local police officers warned the protesters that “it’s going to get ugly.”
Oliver said, “The feds are pissed that they haven’t been able to use this facility. Officers out there warned people that federal agents will be in Murrieta on Monday–they are going to get the next bus through no matter what. Riot gear and shields will be used to push the crowd back.”
John Henry, a Murrieta resident since 1991, was told the same thing by local officers.
“We’re being told that federal Marshals or ICE will be here in the next few days and that they are bringing riot gear,” Henry said. “They’re apparently going to be blocking off the street with concrete blockades so that no vehicles can get through. The River County Sheriff’s Department showed up last night and brought a huge watch tower that shoots up into the air 35 feet.”
Henry also noted that when Americans break laws, they are immediately arrested. But illegals are being treated with kid gloves, and, rather than being immediately deported, they are being relocated. One US citizen was arrested at the protest for crossing the yellow tape line. Huh. Think about that.
The Lonely Conservative points out
Didn’t someone from the administration previously promise that they would not send these immigrants to communities where they aren’t wanted? So much for that promise. They’re sending them to cities without even consulting with city leadership. Numbers USA has an interactive map showing where they’re planning to ship the illegals and where they’ve already sent them.
Furthermore, DHS Head Jeh Johnson is unable to say whether the illegals will be deported or not. Fortunately, Los Federales may be about to deploy riot gear encased federal Stormtroopers to deal with those pesky American 1st Amendment users.
American Power has lots of pictures and information on the ground in Murrieta.
Everyone should be very concerned about the use of federal agents in this manner. Liberals used to be concerned about the Central Government flexing its muscles against the Citizenry.
Fortunately, Obama is heading to Texas, a border state which is one of those seeing a huge influx of the illegals. As usual, though, Obama isn’t going there to Do His Job. Oh, no. He’s headed to multiple fundraisers. This isn’t leading from behind. It’s an abdication of responsibility.
