Another day, another alleged rape in sanctuary Montgomery County, Maryland, that was 100 percent avoidable if our laws were actually enforced.

My colleague, Nate Madden, wrote about yet another illegal alien rape suspect arrested in Montgomery County, Maryland. Oluwakayode Adewole Adebusuyi, 26, is accused of raping a woman in Silver Spring on August 24.

But that’s not the full story. According to Maryland court records, Adebusuyi was arrested almost exactly one year ago on similar rape and assault charges. He was charged with three counts of sexual assault, kidnapping, and one count of second-degree assault on August 28, 2018, in Montgomery County, according to Maryland court records. However, local media is reporting that the victim did not want to pursue charges, so the county dropped the case.

Sadly, this happens all the time throughout the country as more and more violent criminals get released back on the streets. But this is where his immigration status makes all the difference. How on earth can someone who is here illegally get arrested on rape charges – whether he is convicted or not – and not be immediately turned over to ICE? How is it that a citizenship question is not standard during arrest? I am asked all the time if I’m a citizen of the United States when interacting with much less consequential functions of government and the private sector. Our laws are designed to ensure no illegal alien can be shielded from detection, much less one who actually comes into law enforcement custody on rape charges. By definition, that means that this alleged subsequent rape was 100 percent avoidable.

It’s truly hard to imagine a more profound display of anarchy that needlessly endangers public safety than states refusing to abide by an unquestionable federal power in order to shield other countries’ sex offenders and serious criminals from detection. In August, ICE arrested a convicted child sex offender who was released multiple times by Boulder County, Colorado. Oregon has also let out criminal aliens charged with child sex offenses, against ICE detainers. Mecklenberg County, North Carolina, has released numerous violent offenders, including Oscar Pacheco-Leonardo, who was arrested on first-degree rape of a minor. In total, sanctuary jurisdictions in the Tarheel State released nearly 500 criminal aliens over the past 10 months in violation of ICE detainers.

The bottom line is that with the increasingly lenient criminal justice system, there are six ways from Sunday for even the worst offenders to escape justice. This is where immigration policing is so important, because we shouldn’t have to be on the hook for repeat crimes by illegal aliens. They should be removed from the country upon their first arrest. Local law enforcement that is constantly dealing with repeat offenders should relish the opportunity to get rid of other countries’ criminals.

In this particular case, in addition to the August 2018 arrest on rape charges, Adebusuyi had his driver’s license suspended in Fairfax County, Virginia, another sanctuary jurisdiction, last January after numerous driving infractions. He was also charged last year with credit card larceny and attempted identity theft. How can so many illegal aliens be known to law enforcement and not be deported? This is pure anarchy.

Furthermore, the fact that local law enforcement says he worked for various ride-share companies raises other unsettling questions. How was a man like this able to get a job, especially with a suspended driver’s license on his record?

Trump would be wise to make a budget fight over defunding sanctuary cities. There are endless examples for him to harness that are much greater and more compelling than what Democrats are using to push gun control. They cannot point to a single law that would have prevented any of these mass shootings. On the other hand, simply enforcing existing immigration law would ensure that the first crime committed by an illegal alien in this country is the last one. That’s a heck of a lot of lives saved.

The FBI is monitoring groups on the border that are protesting U.S. immigration policy, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The FBI has gathered intelligence from people with “direct access” to the organizations and is monitoring their social media, according to the document, called an “external intelligence note,” that was obtained by Yahoo News. The note, which was produced by the FBI office in Phoenix and sent to other law enforcement and government agencies, said there are indications these groups are “increasingly arming themselves and using lethal force to further their goals.” However, almost all of the evidence cited in the report involved nonviolent protest activity.

The intelligence collected and cited in the FBI document, dated May 30, 2019, is worrisome to activists and civil rights advocates who say that the government is classifying legitimate government opposition and legally protected speech as violent extremism or domestic terrorism. . .

In a statement to Yahoo News, an FBI spokesperson described the external intelligence note about border protest groups as part of routine information sharing among law enforcement agencies, and emphasized that it contained the perspective of the Phoenix office.

“These products are intended to be informative in nature,” the FBI spokesperson said, “and as such, they contain appropriate caveats to describe the confidence in the sourcing of information and the likelihood of the assessment. Additionally, when written at a local level, these products will note that the perspective offered may be limited to the field office’s area of responsibility.” (Read more from “Document Reveals the FBI Is Tracking Border Protest Groups as Extremist Organizations” HERE)

. . .Just this week, Lewis reported the case of 21-year-old Nestor Lopez-Guzman, a Salvadoran illegally in the U.S. He is charged with sexually molesting a pre-teen girl and her younger brother, who both lived with Lopez-Guzman, along with several other family members.

Lopez-Guzman allegedly touched the girl on her breasts, buttocks and vagina atop of her clothes multiple times over the course of six months, and he allegedly fondled the crotch of the young boy, saying, “Where are my little balls?” He was released on a bond until his court date.

This and countless of other cases just like it (and worse) happened in liberal Montgomery County, Maryland (75% for Hillary Clinton in 2016). Lewis’s reporting indicates that there are permissive local policies that allow illegal immigrants to run wild, even after being charged with crime. ICE requests that such suspects be held for deportation are simply ignored by county judges, and evidently the police aren’t notifying ICE either.

Lewis on Tuesday reported the case of 46-year-old Nelson Reyes-Medrano, another Salvadoran illegally in the U.S., who allegedly raped a 16-year-old he had been living with. The charges say that Reyes-Medrano entered the girl’s room with a knife as she was taking a midday nap. Reyes-Medrano allegedly held the knife to the victim’s neck and demanded that she take her clothes off, telling her, “Last time I’m going to say it … take your clothes off.” He then took his own clothes off and allegedly spread her legs with his hands so that he could forcefully penetrate her while on top of her body. The victim told authorities that it “hurt” for “a long time” and that Reyes-Medrano only stopped after he heard a noise outside the apartment, at which point he put his clothes on and left. In this case, at least a judge denied a request for bond release.

Last week, Lewis shared police reports of 28-year-old Luis Perez-Giron, a Guatemalan illegally in the U.S., who is alleged to have twice sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. The first incident allegedly occurred back in May, when the victim was at Perez-Giron’s home, in his bedroom watching TV with two other children. Perez-Giron, a friend of the victim’s family, allegedly entered the room, kissed the victim’s neck and put his hands over her clothed breasts and vagina, before telling her not to tell anyone. The second incident allegedly occurred at the victim’s own home. When Perez-Giron allegedly entered the apartment, the victim hid in a bathroom until she thought he was gone. Once she exited the bathroom, Perez-Giron allegedly walked out of a closet he had been hiding inside, and pushed the victim to the ground, causing her to cut her hand. According to the charges, he then placed her on a couch, removed her clothing and put his mouth on her breasts. He also unsuccessfully attempted to remove her pants, then told her not to say anything and that he would “rape her when she turned 13.” (Read more from “Rape, Molest, Go Free — Judges Turn Illegal Aliens Loose in Sanctuary City” HERE)

Do the people of Arizona have a say in the future of their own state, or is their destiny controlled completely by illegal aliens working with unelected bureaucrats and courts to override state and federal law? Evidently, Doug Ducey, the alleged Republican governor of the Grand Canyon State, believes that illegal aliens should receive privileges as Arizonans. Arizonans will continue to pay for the rope to hang themselves and they will like it, according to Ducey. Who needs Democrats when Republicans have already turned the state blue?

Last week, the Arizona Board of Regents voted unanimously to offer illegal aliens a discounted tuition rate for attendance at state universities. They set the rate at $16,500, which is $5,500 more than the standard rate in-state residents pay of $11,000, but well under the $30,000 American citizens from other states have to pay. One would expect that the governor would immediately work with the legislature to fix this travesty passed by an unelected body of bureaucrats, especially at a time when illegal immigration needs to be deterred more than ever. Shockingly, as if he’s trying to pour lighter fluid on the immigration fire at Arizona’s border, Governor Ducey praised the decision earlier this week, according to the Arizona Republic.

In an interview with KJZZ host Mark Brodie, posted online Tuesday, the Republican leader said he believes that “somebody that graduates from an Arizona high school is an Arizona kid.”

“I congratulate the regents for a first step around this,” Ducey said. “I do believe that if you are here and graduate from an Arizona high school, you should have the same opportunities that anyone else that graduates from Arizona high schools has.”

So, according to Ducey, are the children among the 66 Central Americans who just marched into the Tucson sector on Wednesday deemed “Arizona kids” as well? Well, they haven’t attended high school yet, but once they step foot here, the unelected courts make them go to primary school on the taxpayer dime. Does that make them an Arizonan so they can get a subsidized college education as well? Evidently so.

Making Arizonans pay for the rope to hang themselves

At a time when Arizona is getting slammed with the hospital costs, the drug-running, the crime, gangs, cartel activities, sexual assaults, and health concerns stemming from illegal immigration, the governor’s focus is on the wants of the illegal aliens and not on the citizens suffering from the influx of illegal immigration. At a time when unelected judges in the Ninth Circuit are forcing Arizona to grant one benefit after another, he joins in with another unelected body to grant them discounted tuition.

Just consider the following:

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, as of 2013, there were 630,700 illegal aliens residing in Arizona (including American-born babies of illegal immigrants, erroneously deemed citizens). That is a population of foreign invaders larger than the total population of any single colony at the time of our Founding. And that was six years ago, before the newer influx of Central Americans.

Over 10 percent of the state’s public school population is composed of illegal alien children, according to Pew Research. When coupled with the fiscal strain of health care and incarceration, the total cost of illegal immigration is $2.4 billion a year.

A recent study by John Lott of 32 years of prison data in Arizona concluded that illegal immigrants in Arizona are at least 142 percent more likely to be convicted of crime than other Arizonans. They are more likely to be convicted of serious violent crimes: at least 163 percent more likely for first-degree murder; 168 percent more likely for second-degree murder; and 189.6 percent more likely for manslaughter. Also, Lott’s data confirms what some of us see anecdotally every day but is ignored by the national media – that illegal aliens in Arizona are more likely to commit sexual offenses against minors, sexual assault, drunk driving, kidnapping, and armed robbery.

Justice Scalia observed in his partial dissent in Arizona v. U.S. (2012) that “Arizona bears the brunt of the country’s illegal immigration problem” and that “its citizens feel themselves under siege by large numbers of illegal immigrants who invade their property, strain their social services, and even place their lives in jeopardy.” He concluded, “If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign State.”

Yet Ducey thinks that now, of all times, illegal immigration needs to be further incentivized?

Mr. Ducey must understand that in a republic, the power must flow from the people through their elected representatives. That is doubly true in the case of adding a new member to the society. That decision must be made by the citizens, not invaders. If Ducey wants to start a charity to raise money for other countries’ citizens, that is his prerogative, but the resources of the American people and their governments are not his to give away.

If Republicans in Arizona continue nominating such weak representatives to the governorships and the Senate, the state will turn blue. Not just because of the self-fulfilling prophecy of blue immigration policies leading to more blue voters, but because when voters are faced with the same policies from both parties, they will always choose the more authentic version.

Tuition breaks for illegal aliens violate federal and state law

Whenever the people get a say in the matter, they vote the opposite way. Federal law is very clear. Nothing can be done to induce, encourage, harbor, or shield illegal aliens from detection (8 U.S.C. §1324). Furthermore, federal law, which passed unanimously by the Senate and was signed by Bill Clinton in 1996, very clearly bars this arrangement of charging illegal aliens a slightly higher rate than state residents because it is still much lower than out of state residents:

“An alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.” (Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), codified as 8 U.S.C. § 1623.)

Those were laws passed by Arizona’s representatives. Why are they not being followed? The gulf between the citizens and the elites is enormous. Swing voters and even lean-Democrat voters are to the right of Republican elites on this issue.

Additionally, voters of the state went to the ballot box in 2006, which in general, was a terrible year for Republicans, and voted 71-29 percent to bar in-state tuition for illegal aliens. For a Republican governor to applaud this clever end run around the people’s will of discounting tuition for illegal aliens, but stopping short of offering full in-state rates, is a repugnant elitist rejection of his own voters.

Ducey scoffed at the threat of a lawsuit:

“We live in a litigious society, and … it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if someone brought suit,” Ducey said. “I think the regents did their best to design this so … that they follow the law.

“I think we need to continue to follow the law, but we also want to make certain that Arizona high school graduates don’t have to leave our state to pursue opportunity.”

Leave no illegal alien behind!

No state in the country has been jackbooted by the courts more than Arizona. Yet Ducey never mentions a word about the Ninth Circuit’s assault on the state’s sovereignty, forcing it to issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and preventing it from stopping non-citizens from voting, for example. And he then dismisses the notion of the sovereign citizens finally using the courts against illegal aliens to sue for what is rightfully theirs.

Just whose country is this, anyway? (For more from the author of “Republican Governor Applauds Illegal Discounted State College Tuition for Illegal Aliens” please click HERE)
