In
Freeing Illegal Alien Gang Member Obama Judge Says U.S. Violated Rights of
Due Process, Family Unity
JUNE 21, 2017
An Obama-appointed
federal judge in Virginia ordered an illegal immigrant member of a violent
street gang released from prison because immigration authorities supposedly
violated his rights when he entered the U.S. illegally through Mexico. The
Honduran teen crossed the Rio Grande during the influx of illegal alien
minors a few years ago and turned himself into the U.S Border Patrol,
according to a lengthy mainstream
newspaper
article, after acknowledging his gang history. The feds held him
without a hearing in Virginia because he’s also a known drug dealer, but
this month he was freed by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth K. Dillon. The
judge ruled that, by holding the illegal alien gangbanger without a
hearing, the government violated his rights to due process and family
unity.
Here’s an excerpt from the newspaper article, which
refers to the release as remarkable: “For immigration advocates, U.S.
District Judge Elizabeth K. Dillon’s June 1 order was a major legal
victory over the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the federal agency
charged with caring for children apprehended at the border without their
parents. The decision could lead to the release of dozens, perhaps
hundreds, of long-detained unaccompanied minors, they said. The teen’s
release was remarkable for another reason: Before coming to the United
States, he had sold drugs and witnessed murders as a member of MS-13. The
violent street gang is on the rise in the United States, fueled, in part,
by the surge in unaccompanied minors. MS-13 has been linked to dozens of
recent killings, from the Washington area to Long Island, Boston and
Houston. President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have voiced
alarm about MS-13 and the way it has taken advantage of the U.S.
immigration system.”
Some 150,000 Unaccompanied Alien
Children (UAC)—mostly from Central America—entered the U.S. through the
Mexican border under the Obama administration and this disturbing case out
of Virginia is one of many illustrating the threat they represent to the
American public. Judicial Watch has covered and investigated the UAC influx
for years and has obtained public records from the various government
agencies responsible for relocating the illegal alien minors throughout the
country. From the moment the UACs began arriving in 2014, sources in the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Judicial Watch that the
nation’s most violent street gangs—including the MS-13—were
actively
recruiting new
members at U.S. shelters housing the illegal immigrant minors and that they
used Red Cross phones to communicate. Both the MS-13 and the
18th Street gangs embarked on a recruiting frenzy at the various
facilities housing the newly arrived illegal aliens, according to Judicial
Watch’s law enforcement sources. The UACs also brought in dangerous
diseases— including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and
tuberculosis—and occupied the nation’s military bases as shelters.
The MS-13 is a
feared
street gang of mostly Central American illegal immigrants that’s
spread throughout the U.S. and is renowned for drug distribution, murder,
rape, robbery, home invasions, kidnappings, vandalism and other violent
crimes. The Justice Department’s National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC)
says criminal street gangs like the MS-13 are responsible for the majority
of violent crimes in the U.S. and are the primary distributors of most
illicit drugs. A year after the Obama administration began allowing droves
of UACs to remain in the U.S., the Texas Department of Public Safety
confirmed that the MS-13 emerged as a top tier gang in the Lone Star State
thanks to the influx of illegal alien gang members that crossed into the
state the previous year. In an alarming
19-page
report, the agency writes that the number of MS-13 members encountered
by U.S. Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley sector increased each year,
accelerating in 2014 and coinciding with increased illegal immigration from
Central America during the same period. This clearly refers to the UAC
crisis that saw thousands of illegal immigrants—many with criminal
histories—storm into the U.S. in a matter of months. Authorities in Texas
predict the problem will only get worse. “Gang members from Guatemala,
Honduras, and El Salvador could be destined for locations in Texas with
large Central American communities, including the Houston and Dallas
areas,” the Texas Department of Safety writes in its report. Even if that
doesn’t materialize, the state already has a serious gang crisis.
“Reports of increased MS-13 gang activity have already surfaced in the
Houston area,” the Department of Safety confirms. “MS-13 gang members
are known for highly violent crimes, including brutal murders and
dismemberments. Several recent crimes in Texas illustrate the criminal
threat associated with MS-13.”
Here are some gruesome
examples included in the agency’s report: “On September 15, 2014, the
mutilated body of a 14-year-old middle school student was discovered in the
woods near Houston after he was murdered with a machete. Initial
information from the investigation indicates the victim was a U.S. citizen
and an MS-13 member who was murdered after trying to leave the gang. In
October 2014, a 14-year-old and three adult males were arrested and charged
with murder in this case. The adult males are from El Salvador, and at
least two are documented MS-13 gang members. In mid-August 2014, a
29-year-old 18th Street gang member was stabbed to death in Houston by a
16-year-old El Salvadoran member of MS-13. The victim suffered multiple
stab wounds outside of a bar and was discovered a few days later in a
bayou. According to investigators, the juvenile suspect revealed he
illegally crossed into the U.S. in March 2014.” Another huge concern is
the relationship between street gangs and Mexican drug cartels, the report
says, because it’s a very profitable partnership. “These groups pose
the greatest gang threat to Texas due to their relationships with Mexican
cartels, high levels of transnational criminal activity, level of violence,
and overall statewide presence.” The lucrative gang/cartel business
endeavors are also expanding into human smuggling and gambling, the Texas
Department of Safety reveals in its report.
The recently freed
MS-13 member will live with relatives in Kentucky, the news story says,
further revealing that it’s not the only case of a UAC with gang ties
being released by the feds. The mainstream media won’t identify the
gangbanger because he’s 17-years-old and they want to protect his
“safety.” The article quotes Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirming
this: “If they come as undocumented minors, the federal government
transports them wherever in the interior they say they’d like to go. The
bad guys know how this system works, and they have exploited it.” Just
last week the same newspaper, Washington D.C.’s largest, published a
piece titled “
MS-13
gains recruits and power in U.S. as teens surge across
border” that analyzes dozens of court cases and includes
startling anecdotes of UACs with gang ties. “In the Washington region
alone, at least 42 young people who crossed into the United States by
themselves have been involved in MS-13 violence over the past three
years,” the article states. “That includes 19 charged in connection
with slayings or attempted slayings and four who were killed.” After
years of relative quiet, the MS-13 has made a comeback, the news probe
discovered, and it’s been fueled by the recent influx of illegal alien
teens. “The rise in violence has hit especially hard on Long Island and
in Boston, Houston and the D.C. area, with authorities linking dozens of
killings to the gang,” the article says.
