Remember Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Julie Myers
, the immigration chief who had some
controversy
during her tenure and introduced “operation scheduled departure” where
illegal immigrants would turn themselves in
and who’s organization was refered to (in so many words) as the
gestapo
by (Dem) Illinois Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez? Yeah, she
resigned
.

Dogs
, are they
getting
enough doggie
ice cream
? Some
brands
and flavors are better reviewed than
others
, but it seems to work well as an aid to training and as a distraction for new puppies. Just lay off the
real ice cream
(and grapes, raisins,
Easter lillies
, cat poop,
chocolate
, etc.)

The Mara Salvatrucha gang or MS-13 is an international street gang.
Operation Community Shield spearheaded by the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(
ICE
) division of the Dept. of Homeland Security has been arresting street gang members from
gangs
such as "
Sure
Inos
(which seems to be
spelled wrong
and even Wiki knows it
USA Today
&
Detroit Free Press
);
the 18th Street Gang
;
Latin Kings
; the
Mexican Mafia
;
Border Brothers
;
Brown Pride
,
Azian Pride
;" etc. etc. (all you wanna know about gangs
here
or going way back -
here
) over the past
few months
and recently arrested 582 members of
MS-13
. So far,
ICE
has made 1,057 arrests as part of the sting.
Rumor
has it
MS-13
linked with Al-Quedia to
smuggle nukes into the US
. C'mon, world net daily? The Dept. of Homeland Security (thru
ICE
) is using federal immigration databases coupled with the names of thousands of suspected gang members from state and local police departments to - at the very least - deport them.
Is that ok?
Under the new laws it seems legal. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called the gangs "a threat to our homeland security and ... a
very urgent law enforcement priority
." Yet non-Hispanic whites apparently commit more than half of all violent crimes,
but make up only one-quarter of the prison population.
I see the need to stop MS-13 and other gangs with international ties as much as the El Rukins were, but they were stopped by the
state and local police and the FBI
. So is it smarter policing or does the new law enforcement model target 'foreigners' and
have the laws been tailor-made to target ghetto and barrio youth?
I don't know, but why when I read ICE investigations cheif Marcy Forman say:
"We're just getting started
" do I get an
Einsatzgruppen chill?
