Governors Pardon Immigrants Convicted of Serious Crimes to Halt Deportation
JANUARY 03, 2018
While the nation was
preoccupied celebrating the holidays, the governors of two major states
pardoned immigrants convicted of serious crimes to shield them from
deportation. First, California Governor Jerry Brown pardoned two men on the
verge of being deported for committing crimes in the U.S., according to a
Sacramento news
report. Days later, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo pardoned
18 immigrants convicted of serious crimes so they could remain in the country.
The foreigners had obtained legal immigration status in the United States but
committed such abhorrent crimes that they faced removal after the completion of
their criminal sentence. An official statement issued
by the governor’s office refers to the pardoned as “contributing members of
society” who face the “threat of deportation and other immigration-related
challenges” as a result of their crimes.
Cuomo said
the foreign criminals he pardoned had been rehabilitated but the “stigma of
convictions” prevented them from gaining legal status or fully reentering
society. “While the federal government continues to target immigrants and
threatens to tear families apart with deportation, these actions take a
critical step toward a more just, more fair and more compassionate New York,”
Cuomo said in a statement. The state press release also quotes several
representatives from open borders groups praising the governor’s pardons. Among
them is the president of a group dedicated to eradicating racial disparities in
the criminal justice system, who commended Cuomo’s strong display of
leadership. “Too many immigrants with prior criminal convictions are subjected
to the gratuitous punishment of deportation, despite being longstanding
contributing members of our community,” said the president of the Vera
Institute of Justice. The director of the Center on Race, Inequality and the
Law also applauded Cuomo, saying “deportation is an out-size punishment for
prior criminal convictions when people serve their sentences and go on to
become longstanding, law abiding, contributing members of society.”
Let’s look
at a few of the newly pardoned immigrants. The Californians are two Cambodian
men, Mony Neth of Modesto and Rottanak Kong of Davis, arrested in immigration
sweeps a few months ago. The men, ages 42 and 39, came to the U.S. as children
and were convicted of felonies as adults. The crimes include a weapons charge
and association to a gang. Neth and Rottanak were scheduled to be deported in
December along with dozens of other Cambodians convicted of crimes but a
federal judge in southern California issued a temporary restraining order after
their pro bono attorneys from a civil rights group filed an emergency motion.
Nearly 2,000 Cambodians in the U.S. are subject to deportation, according to
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) figures cited
in a northern California newspaper. More than half of them have criminal
convictions that stripped them of legal status.
The New York
pardons include a 57-year-old Mexican transgender woman convicted of criminal
facilitation, a 35-year-old man from Estonia convicted of larceny and a
53-year-old Dominican man convicted of criminal sale of a controlled substance.
The Mexican national, Lorena Borjas, deserves to stay in the U.S. because she
is a strong advocate for transgender and immigrant communities and runs HIV testing
programs for transgender sex workers and a syringe exchange for transwomen
taking hormone injections. The Estonian, Alexander Shilov, became a nurse and
frequently gives talks on overcoming addiction. The Dominican, Freddy Perez,
works as an electrician and takes care of his autistic younger brother. For
these reasons, they deserve to remain in the U.S. despite their criminal
histories, according to Cuomo.
This appears
to be part of a broader effort by local governments to protect criminal
immigrants from deportation. Months ago, Judicial Watch reportedthat
prosecutors in two major U.S. cities ordered staff not to charge illegal
immigrants with minor, non-violent crimes because it could get the offenders
deported. Brooklyn, New York District Attorney Eric Gonzalez was the first to
issue the order creating
two sets of rules involving local crimes. The goal, according to a statement
issued by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, is “minimizing collateral
immigration consequences of criminal convictions.” Taxpayers in the busy New
York City borough are also paying for two immigration attorneys to train all
staff on immigration issues and advise prosecutors when making plea offers and
sentencing recommendations. The idea is to avoid “disproportionate collateral
consequences, such as deportation, while maintaining public safety.” Gonzalez,
the Brooklyn District Attorney, says he’s committed to equal and fair justice
for all Brooklyn residents—citizens, lawful residents and undocumented
immigrants alike.
A few weeks
after Brooklyn proudly disclosed its policy, prosecutors in Maryland’s largest
city joined the bandwagon, albeit more quietly. There was no public
announcement or celebratory press conference but a local newspaper got ahold of
an internal memo sent by Baltimore’s Chief Deputy State’s Attorney instructing
prosecutors to think
twice before charging illegal immigrants with minor,
non-violent crimes. The chief deputy, Michael Schatzow, used similar language
in the memo, writing that the Trump administration’s deportation efforts “have
increased the potential collateral consequences to certain immigrants of minor,
non-violent criminal conduct.” Schatzow is second-in-command to Baltimore’s top
prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, and oversees major crimes at the state agency. “In
considering the appropriate disposition of a minor, non-violent criminal case,
please be certain to consider those potential consequences to the victim,
witnesses, and the defendant,” Schatzow wrote to his staff.
MS-13 Members Accused in Virginia Murder Arrested in Four States

A sixth suspect was arrested for the 2015 MS-13 murder in Dale City, Virginia, of 19-year-old Guillermo Hernandez Leyva. The clique allegedly beat and stabbed Leyva to death.
Police investigators found the remains of the teenager with ties to the notoriously violent MS-13 in the woods in Woodbridge, an annex of Dale City, in late September of 2015. His family reported him missing three months earlier. According to a report, authorities found the bones while investigating an unrelated case.
This week, police arrested the latest suspect, 21-year-old Jose Elias Ayala-Gomez, in Maryland. He will be extradited to Virginia, according to Prince William County law enforcement officials.
Five other suspects were arrested last year in Texas, Indiana, New Jersey, and Maryland. They are still in custody.
The other suspects charged with the murder were: Wilians Ernesto Lovos Ayala (24, Atlantic City) and Michael Alexander Campos Lemus (23, Essex County) in New Jersey; Vilas Sail Arugueta Bermudez (30) in Texas; Daniel Alexander Flores Ventura (24) in Indiana; and Carlos Ulises Ochoa Pineda (23) in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Law enforcement officials in various states worked with Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Marshals.
“MS-13 is not only the largest street gang in the United States; it is increasingly the most violent and well-organized,” an official with the FBI told the House Homeland Security Committee Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence this past summer. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the FBI assistant director said the gang had a “propensity for gruesome violence.”
William F. Sweeney, Jr., the assistant director in charge of the FBI in New York, told the committee that street gangs in general “show no signs of decreasing memberships or a decline in criminal activity.” In fact, according to the FBI’s 2015 National Gang Report, membership in gangs increased between 2013 to 2015 in 49 percent of jurisdictions. Sweeney told Congress that the FBI estimates there could be up to 10,000 members of the MS-13 living in the United States.
Although the leadership of the notorious MS-13 is based in El Salvador and Honduras, the clique leaders in the U.S. coordinate both locally and internationally, Sweeney said. “They frequently discuss targets, members who have fallen out of favor, and ways to expand their operations.”
The FBI assistant director told the committee that the gang has “gained notoriety” because of their “brutal nature.” “Their motivation is rooted in a desire to kill for the sake of killing. The attacks on their victims are gruesome, typically up close and personal. They often involve mutilation and dismemberment and are sometimes recorded.”
MS-13 members frequently recruit children who are illegal aliens. Sweeney told members of the subcommittee that MS-13 members are “typically much younger than those connected to other street gangs.” They take “cues from the gang instead of relying on a productive family structure. Also, those emigrating from El Salvador to the United States are known to be exposed and desensitized to extreme violence at an early age.”
Breitbart Texas’ Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief Brandon Darby and Ildefonso Ortiz reported: Five Facts Every American Must Know About the Brutal MS-13 Gang. For one, MS-13 members work as domestic foot soldiers for Mexican cartels.
During Fiscal Year 2017, President Trump and the Department of Justice said that immigration enforcement and stopping gang violence was a top priority. The result was the arrest of 5,000 members during FY2017–including nearly 800 MS-13, Breitbart Texas reported in December 2017.

ICE Director Homan to DoJ: Make Sanctuary Cities Accountable — Charge Politicians With Crimes, Hold Back Funding
In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto on Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Thomas Homan said the federal government should consider charging politicians who enact sanctuary city laws to protect criminal illegal aliens “with crimes.”
Partial transcript as follows:
HOMAN: We got to work with the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice needs to do a couple things. Number one, they need to file charges against the sanctuary cities. Number two, they need to hold back their funding. Another thing they need to do, they need to hold these politicians personally accountable. I mean, more citizens are going to die because of these policies and these politicians can’t make these decisions and be held unaccountable for people dying. I mean, we need to hold these politicians accountable for their actions.CAVUTO: Does the president share your views, sir?HOMAN: Absolutely he does.CAVUTO: He’s told you that?HOMAN: The president is totally against sanctuary cities. He knows, as well as I do that people are dying, people are being victimized by illegal aliens in this country and there are certain sanctuary cities that don’t want to cooperate with us. Look, this is about the American public. This is about the U.S. citizens being victimized by some of these criminal illegal aliens. We’ve got to hold sanctuary cities accountable. This is going to continue. The crime rate in California is going to increase.At least 50 percent of these criminal aliens being released back into the public re-offend the first year. Seventy-five percent will re-offend in 5 years. This is a victimization of the American community. This isn’t the America I grew up in. We’ve got to take these sanctuary cities on. We’ve got to take them to court and start charging some of these politicians with crimes.

THE HORDES OF ILLEGALS KEEP COMING…. Despite America’s jobs, housing and Mexican crime tidal wave.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
