Remember, the Open Borders advocates tell us that they only want the good illegals, not the bad ones, and ICE refers to these as “public safety threats”, meaning they aren’t just some schmuck who’s living here illegally
ICE arrests 54 in N.J., slams local jails for releasing wanted immigrants
Immigration officials arrested 54 people in New Jersey in a week-long operation targeting immigrants who had been previously released from local jails under a controversial policy that limits when police can cooperate with immigration agents, federal officials said Thursday.
The arrested immigrants included people from a dozen countries, including 21 from Mexico, nine from El Salvador and seven from Brazil, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials said.
The sweep targeted immigrants living in the country illegally who had been released from local jails in New Jersey instead of being turned over to ICE’s enforcement and removal operations — known as ERO — for possible deportation.
ICE officials also released a “wanted posterâ€Â showing other immigrants they are seeking who had been released from county jails in New Jersey.
The announcement of the 54 arrests, made at an ICE press conference in Newark, escalated a dispute between New Jersey officials and federal immigration officials over the state’s policies on when local jails can honor requests to hold prisoners.
The new rules – called the Immigrant Trust Directive — say local jails can’t honor an “ICE detainer†in New Jersey unless the detainee has been charged with or convicted of a serious crime or has a pending deportation order from a judge.
ICE calls New Jersey a sanctuary state over this rule, because, really, the jails end up releasing almost all illegals. And, while ICE did not release the names and crimes of the 54, they did note others they are looking for
—Luciano Trejo-Dominguez, 33, was arrested Aug. 12 by Vineland police for alleged sexual assault of a minor between 13 and 15 years old, ICE officials said. Immigration officials issued a detainer request that he be held at the Cumberland County Jail after his arrest, but he was released Aug. 23.
—Edgar Camarillo-Ruiz, 33, was arrested by New Brunswick police for alleged simple assault/ domestic violence Aug. 18, ICE officials said. Immigration officials issued a detainer request the following day, but he was released from the Middlesex County Jail.
—Elvis Rafael Cabrera-Vasquez, 38, was arrested on Christmas Eve last year by Perth Amboy police for alleged simple assault/ domestic violence. He was released from the Middlesex County Jail the same day despite an ICE detainer request, federal officials said. He was arrested again on Feb. 14 for allegedly violating a judge’s domestic violence restraining order and released again by county officials.
So, sexual assault on a child. Any Open Borders advocate want to defend releasing this scumbag? Further, the same Open Borders folks tend to also be gun grabbers, and would want to take the firearms away from anyone accused of domestic violence. Yet, they’ll allow illegal aliens to go free.
