Oregon Department of Corrections: Criminal Alien Report October 2016

November 30, 2016

Data Compiled By David Olen Cross

The Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) October 1, 2016 Inmate Population Profile indicated there were 14,708 inmates incarcerated in the DOC’s 14 prisons.

Data obtained from the DOC indicated that on October 1st there were 951 foreign nationals (criminal aliens) incarcerated in the state’s prison system; more than one in every sixteen prisoners incarcerated by the state was a criminal alien, 6.47 percent of the total prison population.

Some background information, all 951 criminal aliens currently incarcerated in the DOC prison system were identified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal law enforcement agency that is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. If an inmate is identified by ICE as being a criminal alien, at the federal law enforcement agency’s request, DOC officials will place an “ICE detainer” on the inmate. After the inmate completes his/her state sanction, prison officials will transfer custody of the inmate to ICE.

Using DOC Inmate Population Profiles and ICE detainer numbers, the following table reveals the total number inmates, the number of domestic and criminal alien inmates along with the percentage of them with ICE detainers incarcerated on October 1st in the state’s prisons.

Beyond the DOC criminal alien incarceration numbers and incarceration percentages, per county and per crime type, or even country of origin, criminal aliens pose high economic cost on Oregonians.

An individual prisoner incarcerated in the DOC prison system costs the state approximately ($94.55) per day.

The DOC’s incarceration cost for its 951 criminal alien prison population is approximately ($89,917.05) per day, ($629,419.35) per week, and ($32,819,723.25) per year.

Even taking into account fiscal year 2015 U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) award of $1,602,510.00, if the State of Oregon receives the same amount of SCAAP funding for fiscal year 2016, the cost to incarcerate 951 criminal aliens to the DOC will be at least ($31,217,213.25).

None of preceding cost estimates for the DOC to incarcerate the 951 criminal aliens includes the dollar amount for legal services (indigent defense), language interpreters, court costs, or victim assistance.

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

November 17, 2016

Lars:

It has been an interesting third full week in the month of November when it comes to criminal aliens here in the Pacific Northwest part of the United States of America.

This week we put another face to alien crime for your radio listeners — today we will talk about a local politician, Mayor-Elect Ted Wheeler, who declared on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 that Portland, Oregon will continue to be a sanctuary city for foreign nationals illegally in the country.

“We will always see ourselves as a sanctuary city, and we will continue to be welcoming to everyone” – Ted Wheeler, Willamette Week interview November 15, 2016.

Apparently Mayor-Elect Wheeler thinks it is ok to have foreign nationals illegally in the country, he calls them “undocumented immigrants,” to illegally enter the country or to overstay a work, student or travel visa and then root themselves in Portland — that kind of criminal behavior by aliens is ok with him.

Unfortunately for the residents of Portland, Ted Wheeler has chosen to ignore the collateral damage of having undocumented immigrants (illegal aliens) reside in the community he will preside over, moreover, the high crime rate illegal aliens inflict on the community.

As most of your Pacific Northwest radio listeners know the City of Portland is located mostly within the boundaries of Multnomah County.

A stark reality the Mayor-Elect should be aware of is that on October 1, 2016 Multnomah County had 207 of the 951 criminal aliens in the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) prison system; the county had 21.77 percent of the criminal aliens in DOC prisons.

Here is how the residents of the City of Portland and greater Multnomah County have been harmed or victimized by the 207 criminal aliens with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration detainers in the DOC prison system (See table below).

Criminal aliens from 30 different countries have harmed or victimized the residents of the City of Portland and greater Multnomah County.

It is unfortunate for the public safety of the residents of the City of Portland and greater Multnomah County that Mayor-Elect Ted Wheeler will continue the scandalous history of Portland being a sanctuary city for criminal aliens.

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

November 10, 2016

Lars:

It has been an interesting second full week in the month of November when it comes to criminal aliens here in the Pacific Northwest part of the United States of America.

This week we put another face to alien crime for your radio listeners — aliens who have violated out nation’s immigrations laws when they were brought into the United States illegally as minor children by their parents. They are collectively as children and parents are referred to as illegal aliens.

A brief history: In an attempt to deal with a significant portion of the millions of illegal aliens present in the country, on June 15, 2012, the administration of U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, through an executive action, instituted through a memo, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA is administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Service (CIS).

Congressional opponents to the Obama administration’s DACA program voted to defund the program in June 2013, opponents believing the president though the use of a memo can’t waive or change U.S. immigration law. The U.S. House of Representatives’ rejection of administration’s DACA program was not successful because the program administered by CIS is self-funding through fees.

Returning to the present: U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) webpage has the most current number of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) participants.

After reading the DACA tables, my understanding is there are a total of 741,546 DACA participants nationwide.

In the three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho there are 31,023 DACA participants:

– 10,995 DACA participants in Oregon,
– 16,987 DACA participants in Washington,
– 3,041 DACA participants in Idaho.

The election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States will likely mean an end to the Obama administrations’ DACA program.

One important element of U.S. President-Elect Trump’s immigration vision is to “immediately terminate” the Obama administration’s “executive amnesties.”

Current participants in the DACA program are very likely to be put back in line for removal from the country with their parents.

A stark reality for DACA participants is U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). If these DHS sister agencies share information it won’t be that difficult to round up these illegal aliens and remove them from the country.

Lars, the second full week in the month of November and another criminal alien report for Lars Larson Show FM 101.1 radio listeners.
