The poison fruit of Obama’s presidency.
‘Dreamers’ Arrested in Protests Helped Those who “Were There to Commit Crime and Damage”
By: Judicial Watch, June 8, 2020:
Illegal immigrants protected by an Obama-era amnesty for adults who came to the U.S. as children are among the rioters arrested and charged with crimes in Arizona. One of them, 30-year-old Mexican illegal alien Maxima Guerrero, is a community organizer with a Phoenix-based grassroots migrant justice organization called Puente Movement. She has been shielded from deportation under Obama’s controversial program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) since 2013. The former president issued the DACA executive order after Congress repeatedly rejected legislation offering illegal immigrants similar protections. The failed measure was called Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) and DACA recipients are often called “Dreamers.”
More than 100,000 DACA applicants have criminal histories, according to figures released late last year by the U.S. government. Many have been arrested for serious crimes such as murder, rape and driving under the influence. The government can deport those charged with crimes, immediately stripping them of the Obama protections but that rarely occurs. The recent Phoenix arrestees were apprehended in the course of criminal behavior, according to a local news report and information obtained by Judicial Watch from police sources on the ground. Guerrero and two other Dreamers were out rioting and looting in a “Justice for George Floyd” protest in downtown Phoenix, city police sources tell Judicial Watch. Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said this in the media about the vehicles occupied by the arrested Dreamers: “Those cars were used to fortify and give rocks and water bottles, food to those individuals who were there to commit crime and damage, to do dangerous things to our community.”
Story continues below advertisementThe information is especially relevant considering the source is an open borders advocate. A few years ago Williams, who joined protestors in downtown Phoenix, tried to make her law enforcement agency an illegal immigrant sanctuary at the request of a leftist group. Judicial Watch obtained records of a secret meeting in 2017 in which the police chief of Arizona’s largest city took orders from Will Goana, policy director for the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The private session occurred just weeks before the Phoenix Police Department quietly implemented a policy banning officers from contacting the feds after arresting an illegal immigrant and forbidding them from asking about suspects’ immigration status. The order violated key provision of a state law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and left the city vulnerable to costly lawsuits. Chief Williams posted on social media that she attended protests because demonstrators invited her as part of ongoing meetings to find viable solutions to their genuine concerns. “I’m confident our community can come together and be stronger,” she writes in the post.
The illegal immigrant Dreamers recently arrested by her officers are Mexican citizens who came to the U.S. illegally as youngsters and enjoy perks and protections that many other undocumented aliens do not. Part of the deal is that they respect law and order to avoid being deported. Instead, they were out at 3 a.m., well past a statewide curfew, and up to no good. A vehicle occupied by the illegal alien Dreamers, was “loaded with incendiary devices,” according to a high-level Phoenix Police source, who confirmed to Judicial Watch that Guerrero was among them. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) obtained a list from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of those arrested that night. Besides Guerrero they include 26-year-old Jesus Manuel Orona, 21-year-old Roberto Carlos Cortes Mondragon and 22-year-old Johan Montes Cuevas. CIS reported last week that all of the illegal aliens were briefly detained, released on supervision and face deportation in addition to serious criminal charges.
DACA has shielded nearly 800,000 illegal aliens under the age of 31 from deportation and allowed them to obtain work permits and drivers licenses. The Trump administration tried to end DACA in 2017 but open borders groups sued to keep it going and now the Supreme Court is set to decide the matter. Regardless of how the high court rules, the fact remains that a big chunk of DACA applicants have arrest records, according to the figures released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that administers the nation’s lawful immigration system. The stats show that nearly 110,000 DACA requestors out of nearly 889,000 had arrest records, accounting for 12% of applicants. “Offenses in these arrest records include assault, battery, rape, murder and driving under the influence,” USCIS wrote in a statement announcing the report in November. Here is another disturbing fact; of approved DACA requestors with an arrest, a whopping 85% (67,861) were arrested right before the U.S. granted them amnesty. Nearly 25,000 DACA recipients with arrests had multiple arrests and 218 had more than 10 arrests. Incredibly, around one-fourth of the illegal immigrants with more than 10 arrests were approved by the government. In all, the government reveals that it has approved 79,398 DACA requestors with arrest records. Not all the delinquents are approved, the figures show. More than 100,000 with criminal arrests were denied or terminated.

Well at least the US prosecutors are doing something. NY State is soft, but every state has DOJ federal prosecutors too. Those perps were throwing gas bombs amidst a peaceful demonstration, and they broke multiple federal laws.

Many people don’t realize that arson is a justifiable offense. That just like rape or murder, anyone can use deadly force to stop someone in the act. I think they see the cars and buildings burning on TV and begin to think that arson is an acceptable way of expressing a political view. The reality is that an average of 3,500 people including 70 firefighters lose their lives every year. It’s a deadly threat to anyone in the structure or adjoining structures, and the people tasked with putting it out.

I like the old Biblical “eye for an eye.” Start a fire and toss in these “arsonists. Chant “Thugs in a blanket. Fry ’em like bacon!” so they can see how it feels.

It’s time to kick all the parasites out now. Round them up and ship them out! We are either a Nation of laws or we invite anarchy. Every single law must be enforced.
I would even strip anchor babies of citizenship and kick them out too. Consider it a punitive action and warning to others. And if DemoNazis don’t like it, I would strip them of their tenuous citizenship and send them to their utopia – Venezuela!

This will never be reported in MSM. The Dreamers are all American per the Dems. No criminals amongst them. And, that goes for arabs too.

“CIS reported last week that all of the illegal aliens were briefly
detained, released on supervision and face deportation in addition to
serious criminal charges.” FACE DEPORTATION? Why aren’t they already in the back of a van, on their way back to the sh*t hole they came from. They obviously have no respect for this country. Get them the f**k out of here!

Why were they released. Just send them back after booking them, and getting a DNA sample from them.

“Dreamers and illegals” that’s kind of redundant… the only reason why people think they are lawfully here is because Obama made a law by the stroke of a pen… but that is not a law.

Exactly. When the President wanted to get rid of them using that same exact Pen, they screamed bloody murder, courts broke the law to prevent him from kicking them out, and even though some people say he can still do it by enacting a law already on the books, it is going to the Supreme Court. Reminds me of the Supertramp song:
Dreamer
You’re nothing but a dreamer,
Than you put your hands on your head, Oh No
Dreamer
You stupid little dreamer
Then you put your hands on your head, Oh, No
Oh No, Oh No!

Do what you want – that´s their dream but just for them.
If you disagree then you have the possibility to shut up, get on your knees, beeing insulted or killed.
If some low IQ people call you a NAZI then you have no rights anymore.
That´s a dream – but no that´s happening. I must live in a nightmare.

Trump should execute another EO cancelling B.O’s EO so the trouble makers can be deported.

He tried to end it but it was objected to in the courts and now it worked its way up tothe Supreme Court. Even Obama knew he couldn’t EO it and made it an edict. Of course the GOP didn’t object.

May be you offer those DACA crooks and criminals to Germany – the former STASI and Communist Party members like Mrs. Merkel and her goddam camarilla will welcome them with open arms.
For the treacherous German government, the mostly illiterate and mostly islamic “Refugees”, “Immigrants” and “Asylum Seekers” are absolutely necessary for re-election – the autochthonous Germans are almost “finished”.
Same in many West-European countries.
The welfare of the USA is on the razors edge too!

Does anyone want to guess how long it would take me to have them chipped, biometrics taken, and dumped across the border of their own native country if I had the power to do so? Their parents committed a crime to be here. Apparently the kids have a deep sense of entitlement.

If the USA does not vote itself into Marxism in November, there is hope that the reelected President Trump will:
1) Evict the UN, which is an indwelling cancer in our society (let them install themselves into Havana, Tehran, Caracas, Pyongyang or Beijing – such models or human rights!)
2) Round up every government-dependent illegal alien and ship him/her out into Mexico (let Mexicans deal with the influx)

I too am a ‘dreamer’ – as a 14th generation American,
.
I dream of a country where there is one-land and one-law, and everyone follows the law
.
I dream of a country where people are presumed innocent until proved guilty, and not tried by the media
.
I dream of a country where there are no ‘hyphens’ before my nationality
.
I dream of a country where everything is printed in English only
.
I dream of a country where my grandchildren will not be shamed for being white
.
I dream of a country where I can believe what I hear on the news
.
I dream of a country where I can trust all of my elected officials to do what is best for my country
.
I dream of a country where people will be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin or whatever’s between their legs
.
this is my dream

I dream if the democratic scum do everything to prevent everything on that list from happening, that the planet can be blown to bits, because it will not be my country anymore. The one that I was legally born in, and did my very best to follow the law.

“Dreamers” are just another name for illegal alien cockroaches that skittered across the border with their parents.

Any non-citizen should be deported, after facing charges for any crimes committed at the protests. I don’t care if they are ‘dreamers’…they have violated the laws and any trust there might have been.

The Left only have as much power as we give them. Everybody who doesn’t agree with the aggressive Leftists need to stand up to them and call BS because the lame stream missmedia isn’t doing it. And we need to stand up together and watch each other’s backs. If we continue to cower, we will be subdued and then it will be too late to do anything about it. Imagine Nazi Germany before as Hitler was gaining his power. Good people didn’t stand up to when when they could. Then later people said “never again”… well here we have an evil that is growing… will we stand against it or will we be taken down?

Hussein’s DREAMers are a NIGHTMARE for the United States of America……

It sounds to me that 100,000 should now legally be deported since they have criminal records. I really think that Trump fairly warned the dreamers but then they are probably counting on the democrats to bail them out. Well if the deceased could vote for BHO (some states had more votes that they had population), we know the illegals sure are their voters too. If they (democrats) only had the American citizens voting, they know they would never be in the White House again. Any wonder the dems have been fighting so hard to keep borders open? …
