Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

October 31, 2019

Lars:

It has been an interesting last week in the month of October 2019 when it comes to criminal aliens (illegal aliens) here in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

This week we take a look at for your radio listeners a illegal alien who has been convicted for multiple sex crimes against children in the state of Oregon.

On September 6, 2019 a Washington County jury in Hillsboro, Oregon found Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia, age 44, guilty of two counts of first-degree Rape, three counts of second-degree Rape, two counts of Using a Child in Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct, first-degree Sodomy, second-degree Sodomy, four counts of first-degree Unlawful Sexual Penetration, one count of second-degree Unlawful Sexual Penetration, and four counts of first-degree Sex Abuse.

Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia’s 18 sex crime convictions are related to his ongoing sexual abuse of three different minor females.

Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia is now incarcerated in the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) prison system at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) in Pendleton, Oregon.

Seeking information on the immigration status Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia, I contacted via e-mail on October 23, 2019 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman with the following questions:

Is Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia illegally present in the United States of America (USA)?

Was Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia illegally present in the USA during his current convictions for the crime of sex abuse against the young girls?

Did ICE place an immigration detainer on Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia when he was incarcerated in the Washington County Jail?

Has ICE placed an immigration detainer on Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia since his incarceration in the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) prison system?

Has Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia ever previously served time in a federal prison for an immigration crime or violation?

How many times if any has Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia been removed from the USA?

If Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia has been previously removed from the USA, what were the dates and locations he was removed from the country?

Does ICE Public Affairs know Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia’s country of origin?

On Monday, October 28, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Roman sent via e-mail the following response to the preceding questions on Alvaro Noe Mendoza-Valencia:

“Convicted child rapist, Alvaro Mendoza-Valencia, is a citizen of Mexico and in the United States illegally. On Sept. 17, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers encountered Mendoza-Valencia at the Clark County Jail in Washington, where he was being held for being a fugitive from justice. ICE issued an immigration detainer with the jail the same day. ICE did not receive notification of Mendoza-Valencia’s pending release or transfer.

On Sept. 20, 2018, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon arrested Mendoza-Valencia for two counts of rape in the first degree, three counts of rape in the second degree, three counts of display of a child-sexual conduct, one count of sodomy in the second degree, one count of sodomy in the first degree, three counts of unlawful sexual penetration and four counts of sexual abuse in the first degree.

On Sept. 21, 2018, ICE encountered Mendoza-Valencia at the Washington County Jail and issued a detainer with the jail the same day.

On Sept. 25, 2019, the Washington County Circuit Court dismissed one count of display child-sexual conduct and three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree. Mendoza-Valencia was convicted of two counts of display child-sexual conduct, two counts of first degree rape of a victim under 12 years of age, three counts of second degree rape, one count of first degree sexual abuse, three counts of unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree of a victim under the age of 12, one count of first degree sodomy of a victim under the age of 12 and one count of second degree sodomy. Mendoza-Valencia was sentenced to 300 months with Oregon Department of Corrections.

On Oct. 3, 2019, ICE encountered Mendoza-Valencia at the Oregon Department of Corrections and issued an immigration detainer.” – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

On Background:

ICE lodges detainers on aliens who were arrested on local criminal charges when the agency has probable cause to believe an alien is removable from the United States. In response to a detainer, cooperative law enforcement agencies are asked to notify ICE as early as practicable (at least 48 hours, if possible) before an alien is released from the law enforcement agency’s custody.

When notified, ICE will arrest the alien at the jail during the time of their release. This process ensures that the alien is taken into ICE custody and not returned to the same community that they previously victimized. Upon taking custody, ICE is able to initiate or reinstate removal proceedings and if the alien is ordered removed, return the alien to his/her country of origin.

Aliens placed into removal proceedings receive all appropriate legal process before the federal immigration courts, which are administered by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). EOIR is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, and is separate from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Immigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case. For more information on EOIR, visit: https://www.justice.gov/eoir/ – ICE Public Affairs.

Answering a same day e-mail follow-up question, according to ICE Public Affairs Officer Roman, “He hasn’t been previously removed by ICE.”

September 1, 2019 Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) information indicated that 695 of the 864 foreign nationals (criminal aliens) in the DOC prison system were Mexican nationals — 80.44 percent of the criminal alien prison population

Significant numbers, 379 of the 695 criminal alien inmates from Mexico incarcerated in DOC prisons were for three types of sex crimes — sex abuse, rape and sodomy — 54.53 percent of the Mexican national inmates in the state’s prisons.

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

October 24, 2019

Lars:

It has been an interesting third full week in the month of October when it comes to criminal aliens (illegal aliens) here in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

This week we take a look at for your Pacific Northwest radio listeners an illegal alien arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who is wanted for a sex crime in the state of Oregon.

According to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Public Affairs September 12, 2019 news release titled “Border Patrol Arrests Man Wanted for Rape, Murder” U.S. Border Patrol Agents operating in the Tucson Sector arrested Mexican national Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos for illegal entry into the United States.

Border Patrol Agents doing the processing of Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos (SID: 22731057; DOB: 11/10/1977), during records checks, discovered Espinosa-Burgos is wanted in Oregon City, Oregon for the crime of Rape.

The CBP news release also revealed Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos faces extradition to Oregon on the Rape charge before he is returned to Mexico to face a Murder charge.

Seeking additional information on the immigration status Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos, I contacted via e-mail on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman with the following questions:

Did ICE placed an immigration detainer on Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos during any time he might have been incarcerated at the Clackamas County Jail on the Rape charge?

Has ICE ever previously removed Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos from the U.S.?

If ICE has removed Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos from the country, what were the dates and places Espinosa-Burgos was removed from the country?

Has Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos ever previously served time in a federal prison for an immigration crime or violation?

While waiting for ICE Public Affairs to respond to my questions, I contacted the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office on October 7, 2019 to find out about the extradition of Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos back to Oregon.

Here is how is how Clackamas County District Attorney (CCDA) John Foote on October 7, 2019 responded to my inquiry on the extradition of Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos:

“This office is requesting extradition. However, the final decision is made by the Governor’s Office.” – John Foote, Clackamas County District Attorney.

Here is how is how Clackamas County Deputy District Attorney (CCDDA) Kara A. Brooks on October 12, 2019 responded to my inquiry on the extradition of Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos:

“After our office began applying for a Governor’s warrant, Mr. Espinosa Burgos ultimately decided to waive extradition. We have until the 21st of the month to pick him and start the transport process back to Clackamas County, so he should be here within the next few weeks.” – Kara A. Brooks, Clackamas County Deputy District Attorney.

On Thursday, October 10, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Roman sent via e-mail the following Statement on Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos:

“Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos is a Mexican citizen and a repeat immigration violator. On Sept. 10, 2019, he was arrested by the Border Patrol while attempting to enter the U.S. without inspection, near Nogales, Arizona. He is currently wanted in Oregon for rape.

He was previously apprehended by the Border Patrol and allowed to voluntarily return to Mexico on three occasions between Feb. 1 and Feb. 4, 2004.

On Nov. 23, 2008, Espinosa-Burgos was encountered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a targeted enforcement operation. Espinosa-Burgos was released on his own recognizance and subsequently issued a notice to appear (NTA) via certified mail to his last known address.

On March 30, 2015, ICE received information from the U.S. Marshals Service that Espinosa-Burgos was wanted for felony charges in Mexico. On Oct. 7, 2015, ICE arrested Espinosa-Burgos without incident at his residence in Oregon. Espinosa-Burgos was housed at the Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWIPC) pending removal proceedings. On Jan. 27, 2016, ICE received notice that the felony charges in Mexico were dismissed, and an immigration judge granted him bond. Espinosa-Burgos posted bond the same day, and ICE released him from custody.

On May 21, 2019, Espinosa-Burgos failed to appear on pending charges for rape. A warrant was issued for Espinosa-Burgos by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

On Sept. 10, 2019, Espinosa-Burgos was encountered by Border Patrol in Nogales, Arizona after again unlawfully entering the U.S.

Espinosa-Burgos is subject to an outstanding extraditable warrant out of Oregon for rape.

According to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release, Espinosa-Burgos is also wanted for murder and will be handed over to Mexican law enforcement authorities following his extradition to Oregon for adjudication of his alleged crimes in the U.S.

Please contact CBP for additional information on this case.” – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

Mexican national illegal alien Juan Francisco Espinosa-Burgos is an example of the thousands of previously deported aliens that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents apprehend annually who try to illegally reenter the U.S.

Beyond the DOC Mexican national incarceration numbers and incarceration percentages, per county and per type of crime, criminal aliens from Mexico place a substantial economic burden on Oregonians.

An individual inmate incarcerated in the DOC prison system costs the state approximately ($108.26) per day.

The DOC’s incarceration cost for 695 Mexican national inmates is approximately ($75,240.70) per day, ($526,684.90) per week, and ($27,462,855.50) per year.

None of preceding cost estimates for the DOC to incarcerate the 695 Mexican national inmates includes the dollar amount for legal services (indigent defense), language interpreters, court costs, or victim assistance.

Oregon Department of Corrections: Criminal Alien Report for the Americas September 2019

October 21, 2019

Data Compiled By David Olen Cross

Information obtained from the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) indicated on September 1, 2019 that 777 of the 864 foreign nationals (criminal aliens) in the state’s prison system self-declared their countries of origin as being located in the Americas — North, Central and South America and the West Indies — 89.93 percent of the criminal alien prison population (Note: The United States of America (USA) and USA territories are excluded from this report.):

– North America (Mexico and Canada) had 700 criminal aliens — 90.09. percent of the DOC alien prisoners from the Americas;

– Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Belize and Panama) had 51 criminal aliens — 6.56 percent of the DOC alien prisoners from the Americas;

– South America (Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia) had nine criminal aliens — 1.16 percent of the DOC alien prisoners from the Americas;

– The West Indies (Cuba, Jamaica and Turks) had 17 criminal aliens — 2.19 percent of the DOC alien prisoners from the Americas.

Criminal aliens from 17 countries located in the Americas were incarcerated in the DOC prison system.

Mexican nationals were 695 of 777 criminal aliens from the Americas incarcerated in the DOC prison system — 89.45 percent of the alien inmates from the Americas in the state’s prisons.

Some background information, all 777 criminal aliens incarcerated in the DOC prison system from the Americas were identified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have ICE detainers placed on them.

Using DOC ICE detainer numbers, the following table reveals the self-declared countries of origin of the 777 criminal alien inmates from the Americas by number and percentage incarcerated on September 1st in the state’s prisons.

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

October 21, 2019

Lars:

It has been an interesting third full week in the month of October when it comes to criminal aliens (illegal aliens) here in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

This week we take a look at for your Pacific Northwest radio listeners a criminal illegal alien who is the allegedly codefendant in the murder of a man in King County, Washington (This is a follow-up from last week’s October 17, 2019 “Criminal Alien of the Week Report.”).

But first some background information; earlier this year I requested from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs immigration enforcement stories.

Thursday, October 17, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman sent via e-mail the following statement on Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez aka Ernesto Suarez (ID: 219026173; DOB: November 18, 1990), age 28, a crime story with illegal immigration enforcement implications:

“Murder suspect, Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez aka Ernesto Suarez, is a citizen of El Salvador and in the United States illegally. On an unknown date and location, Garcia-Hernandez entered the U.S. without being inspected, admitted or paroled by an immigration official.

On Jan. 7, 2015, The Fairfax, California Police Department arrested Garcia-Hernandez for street gangs participation predicate criminal activity for gang, intentional damage of more than $1,000 and released him on an unknown date. Those charges are still pending.

On Jan. 22, 2015, The Fairfax, California Police Department arrested Garcia-Hernandez again, this time for two counts of brandishing a machete and released him on an unknown date.

On Aug. 12, 2015, The Stratford, California Police Department arrested Garcia-Hernandez for larceny, forgery and forgery symbols. He was released on an unknown date.

On Sept. 23, 2015, The Fairfax, California Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Garcia-Hernandez for failure to appear-gang participate and public order crimes; the warrant included warning for violent tendencies, armed and dangerous, known to abuse drugs, and known to carry weapons – brandish a machete at victim to intimidate.

On Oct. 9, 2019, Garcia-Hernandez was arrested on homicide charges and booked into the King County Jail in Seattle, Washington. – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

On Oct.11, 2019, ICE officers interviewed Garcia-Hernandez and determined he was an illegal alien and subject to removal from the United States. During the interview, Garcia-Hernandez stated that he is actively affiliated with the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang. ICE lodged a detainer with the jail the same day.” – ICE Public Affairs.

Some background information on what caused the generation of the original October 17th ICE Public Affairs’ statement on Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez.

King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) TAC 30 Unit (SWAT) on October 9, 2019 arrested Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez for his alleged role in the beating with a base ball bat and machete hacking death of Juan Carlos Con Guzma, age 16, whose partially dismembered body was found by police on September 10, 2019 in the Green River. Police believe the killing of Juan Carlos Con Guzma was orchestrated by local members of the Los Angeles / Central American gang MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha).

Since October 9th Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez has been incarcerated at the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in Seattle Washington:

Looking up the criminal charges against Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez on the Correctional Facility website reveals he has been charged with the crime of Murder 1. A King County Superior Court set Garcia-Hernandez’s current bail now at $3,000,000.00.

Analysis of the ICE Public Affairs October 17, 2019 statement, without a doubt U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are doing the job that was tasked to them in identifying foreign national criminals illegally present in United States like Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez and his codefendant Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega who is also charged in the murder teenager Juan Carlos Con Guzma.

Unfortunately U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement face’s a lack of cooperation in the enforcement of U.S. immigration law in King County and all across the state.

Ever since the Council of King County passed on November 10, 2009 Ordinance 16692, county law enforcement has been prohibited from enforcing federal immigration law.

The Metropolitan King County Council passed on September 3, 2014 Ordinance 17886 that prohibits honoring federal immigration detainers “for individuals in the custody of the department of adult and juvenile detention.”

On February 23, 2017 Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed Executive Order 17-01; the Governor’s executive order has restricted state employees and agencies from helping enforce federal immigration laws.

Since January 24, 2018 the U.S. Department of Justice has identified King County, Washington as possibly unlawfully restricting information sharing by its law enforcement officers with federal immigration authorities.

The Washington State Legislature this year passed sanctuary legislation, signed into law on May 21, 2019 by Governor Jay Inslee, prohibiting state, county and local law enforcement from inquiring about a person’s immigration status.

What does all the preceding information on the state of Washington local, county and state law enforcement not being able to cooperate with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration law mean?

Here is what ICE Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman had to say in a October 10, 2019 statement about the importance of King County law enforcement cooperating with ICE and honoring immigration detainers:

“ICE maintains that cooperation by local law enforcement is an indispensable component of promoting public safety. It’s unfortunate that current local and state laws and policies tie the hands of local law enforcement agencies that want and need to work with ICE to promote public safety by holding criminals accountable and providing justice and closure for their victims.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodges detainers on individuals who have been arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable aliens. The detainer asks the other law enforcement agency to notify ICE in advance of release and to maintain custody of the alien for a brief period of time so that ICE can take custody of that person in a safe and secure setting upon release from that agency’s custody. When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission.” – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Public Affairs’ October 17, 2019 statement on ICE officers being able to interview murder suspect Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez didn’t disclose the circumstances or location of where officers were able to interview him.

Comparing the October 11th date of when ICE officers interviewed Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez to the location of where he has been incarcerated since October 9th, the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in Seattle Washington, it is clear someone in King County law enforcement, the KCSO or KCCF deputies, allowed the interview of Garcia-Hernandez to take place.

Residents of King County can only hope, for the public safety of all the county’s populace, the decision to allow ICE officers to interview murder suspect Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez came from well beyond boots on the ground law enforcement in KCSO or KCCF deputies.

The county’s voting residents should expect it was the elected leadership of King County who allowed ICE to interview suspected murderer Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez — like Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht and Prosecutor Dan Satterberg — at the urgent behest of Executive Dow Constantine and all nine members of the County Council.

If it wasn’t any of the previously mentioned county elected officials who allowed and requested ICE officers to interview Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez, King County voters, should hold accountable, replace those elected officials who by county ordinances, executive orders or support of state laws that create an environment, a sanctuary, in the county where illegal alien M-13 gang members like murder suspect Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez and his codefendant Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega, both men criminal aliens can rampage and murder teenagers like Juan Carlos Con Guzma.

It has been an interesting second full week in the month of October when it comes to criminal aliens (illegal aliens) here in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

This week we take a look at for your Pacific Northwest radio listeners another criminal illegal alien who allegedly participated in the murder of a man in King County, Washington.

But first some background information; earlier this year I requested from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs immigration enforcement stories.

Thursday, October 10, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman sent via e-mail the following statement on Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega (ID: 219026090; DOB: August 18, 1999), age 20, a crime story with illegal immigration enforcement implications:

“Murder suspect Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega, is a citizen of El Salvador and in the United States illegally. On Sept. 25, 2016, then 17 year old Iraheta-Vega, presented himself at the Paso Del Norte Port of Entry as an unaccompanied child.

On Sept. 28, 2016, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued Iraheta-Vegas a notice to appear as an immigrant without documents.

On Sept. 30, 2016, CBP transferred Iraheta-Vega to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) placed him at the Southwest Key Casita Del Valle in Clint, Texas.

On Jan. 05, 2017, ORR released Iraheta-Vega on an order of recognizance (OREC) to reside with a family member and on Feb. 15, 2017, an immigration judge granted a change of venue to Seattle.

On Nov. 8, 2018, Kent Police Department arrested Iraheta-Vega on local charges. ICE encountered him the following day at the King County Jail and lodged a detainer. On Nov. 13, 2018, the jail released Iraheta-Vega without notifying ICE.

On Nov, 13, 2018, Iraheta-Vega was arrested by the Burien Police Department and booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington for driving under the influence (DUI) and other local charges. On an unknown date, SCORE released Iraheta-Vega before ICE could encounter him.

On Aug. 24, 2019, Iraheta-Vega was again arrested by the Burien Police Department and booked into SCORE for DUI and other local charges. On an unknown date, SCORE again released Iraheta-Vega before ICE could encounter him.

On Oct. 8, 2019, Federal Way Police Department arrested and booked Iraheta-Vega into King County Jail for Homicide with a bail amount set at $2 million.

On Oct. 9, 2019, ICE lodged an ICE Detainer with King County Jail.

“This scenario, where sanctuary policies shield criminal aliens who prey on people in the community from immigration enforcement, is becoming all too common. As Iraheta-Vega’s crimes increased in severity, local officials chose to release him, time and time again, without notification to ICE, a simple process that could have potentially prevented this crime.”

“ICE maintains that cooperation by local law enforcement is an indispensable component of promoting public safety. It’s unfortunate that current local and state laws and policies tie the hands of local law enforcement agencies that want and need to work with ICE to promote public safety by holding criminals accountable and providing justice and closure for their victims.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodges detainers on individuals who have been arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable aliens. The detainer asks the other law enforcement agency to notify ICE in advance of release and to maintain custody of the alien for a brief period of time so that ICE can take custody of that person in a safe and secure setting upon release from that agency’s custody. When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission.”
– Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

Some background information on what caused the generation of the original October 10th ICE Public Affairs’ statement on Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega.

King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Major Crimes Detectives on October 8, 2019 arrested Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega for his alleged role in the beating with a base ball bat and machete hacking death of Juan Carlos Con Guzma, age 16, whose partially dismembered body was found by police on September 10, 2019 in the Green River. Police believe the killing of Juan Carlos Con Guzma was orchestrated by local members of the Los Angeles / Central American gang MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha).

Since October 8th Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega has been incarcerated at the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in Seattle Washington:

Looking up the criminal charges against Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega on the Correctional Facility website reveals he has been charged with the crime of Murder 1. A King County Superior Court set Iraheta-Vega’s current bail now at $3,000,000.00.

Analysis of the ICE Public Affairs October 10, 2019 statement, clearly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are doing the job that was tasked to them in identifying foreign national criminals illegally present in United States like Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega.

Unfortunately for state of Washington residents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue to face a lack of cooperation in the enforcement of U.S. immigration law in King County and all across the state.

Ever since the Council of King County passed on November 10, 2009 Ordinance 16692, county law enforcement has been prohibited from enforcing federal immigration law.

The Metropolitan King County Council passed on September 3, 2014 Ordinance 17886 that prohibits honoring federal immigration detainers “for individuals in the custody of the department of adult and juvenile detention.”

On February 23, 2017 Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed Executive Order 17-01; the Governor’s executive order has restricted state employees and agencies from helping enforce federal immigration laws.

Since January 24, 2018 the U.S. Department of Justice has identified King County, Washington as possibly unlawfully restricting information sharing by its law enforcement officers with federal immigration authorities.

The Washington State Legislature this year passed sanctuary legislation, signed into law on May 21, 2019 by Governor Jay Inslee, prohibiting state, county and local law enforcement from inquiring about a person’s immigration status.

What does all the preceding information on the state of Washington local, county and state law enforcement not being able to cooperate with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration law mean?

When on November 8, 2018 Kent Police Department (KPD) arrested Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega for the first time on local criminal charges and booked him into the King County Correctional Facility on “local charges” neither the KPD officers who arrested Iraheta-Vega nor the KCCF jail deputies were by county ordinance or Governor’s February 23, 2017 Executive Order able to notify ICE agents that local law enforcement had taken him into custody.

Even after ICE on November 9, 2018 encountered Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega at the KCCF and lodged an immigration detainer on him, jail deputies were not able let ICE agents know deputies had released Iraheta-Vega from the jail on November 13, 2018.

The deadly consequences of local, county and state law enforcement not being able to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would occur approximately 334 days later on October 9, 2019 when ICE would once again encounter and place an immigration detainer on Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega at King County Correctional Facility, only this time Salvadoran illegal alien would incarcerated at the KCCF for the crime of Murder.

Adding up the combined number of times Salvadoran illegal alien Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega was arrested by the Kent Police Department (KPD), once, and the Burien Police Department (BPD), twice, between the dates of November 8, 2018 and August 24, 2019 equates to him being arrested by local enforcement three times in 289 days — neither of the two police departments arresting Iraheta-Vega is on record of having contacted ICE.

Summing up the number of times illegal alien Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega was incarcerated at the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF), once, and the South Correctional Entity (SCORE), twice, between the dates of November 8, 2018 and August 24, 2019 equates to three times in 289 days — neither of the two King County jails notified ICE when Iraheta-Vega was released from jail.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman’s statement on the immigration status of Salvadoran illegal alien Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega should be a real world reality check for King County elected officials, Washington State Legislature members and Washington Governor Jay Inslee; Washington local and county and state law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration law, honoring immigration detainers, could have prevented the Central American gang-banger’s crime rampage that allegedly included the September 10, 2019 brutally violent murder of teenager Juan Carlos Con Guzma.

Beyond the DOC criminal alien incarceration numbers and incarceration percentages, per county and per crime type, or even country of origin, criminal aliens place a substantial economic burden on Oregonians.

An individual prisoner incarcerated in the DOC prison system costs the state approximately ($108.26) per day.

The DOC’s incarceration cost for its 864 criminal alien prison population is approximately ($93,536.64) per day, ($654,756.48) per week, and ($34,140,873.60) per year.

None of preceding cost estimates for the DOC to incarcerate the 864 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

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

October 10, 2019

Lars:

It has been an interesting first full week in the month of October when it comes to criminal aliens (illegal aliens) here in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

This week we take a look at for your Pacific Northwest radio listeners a criminal illegal alien who allegedly participated in the murder of a man in King County, Washington.

But first some background information; earlier this year I requested from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs immigration enforcement stories.

Monday, October 7, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman sent via e-mail the following statement on Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez aka Carlos Carillo-Lopez (ID: 219025389; DOB: April 5, 2000), age 19, a crime story with illegal immigration enforcement implications:

“Accused murderer, Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez, is a citizen of Guatemala and in the United States illegally. Carillo-Lopez is a known associate of the Crossroads Locos 13, who originally came to the U.S. as an unaccompanied child.”

“On April 15, 2015, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) encountered and arrested Carillo-Lopez as an unaccompanied child near Sasabe, Arizona, and issued him a notice to appear the following day. He was then transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement and later released on an order of recognizance to a sponsor in Texas.”

“On March 15, 2019, Bellevue Police Department arrested Carillo-Lopez on local charges and booked him into the South Correctional Entity Jail (SCORE). On March 18, 2019, ICE encountered Carillo-Lopez at SCORE and lodged a detainer. SCORE released Carillo-Lopez on an unknown date without notification to ICE.

“On April 04, 2019, BPD again arrested Carillo-Lopez for local charges and booked him into SCORE. ICE encountered him at SCORE on the same day and lodged a detainer. SCORE released him again on an unknown date without notification to ICE. Just 14 days later, on April 18, 2019, BPD arrested Carillo-Lopez for various local charges and booked him into SCORE. ICE encountered him a day later and lodged a detainer. Again, SCORE released Carillo-Lopez on an unknown date without notifying ICE.

“On June 09, 2019, BPD arrested Carillo-Lopez for local charges and booked him into King County Jail (KCJ) in Seattle, Washington. On June 11, 2019, ICE encountered Carillo-Lopez in the KCJ and lodged a detainer. On June 17, 2019, KCJ released him without notification to ICE.

On Sept. 30, 2019, the King County Sherriff’s Office arrested Carillo-Lopez for Robbery and Homicide. On Oct. 01, 2019, ICE lodged another detainer with King County Jail.

“This is yet again another example of sanctuary policies shielding criminal aliens who prey on people in their own and other communities from immigration enforcement. As Carillo-Lopez’s crimes increased in severity, local officials chose to release him, time and time again, over immigration detainers that could have taken him off the streets.

“ICE maintains that cooperation by local law enforcement is an indispensable component of promoting public safety. It’s unfortunate that current local and state laws and policies tie the hands of local law enforcement agencies that want and need to work with ICE to promote public safety by holding criminals accountable and providing justice and closure for their victims.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodges detainers on individuals who have been arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable aliens. The detainer asks the other law enforcement agency to notify ICE in advance of release and to maintain custody of the alien for a brief period of time so that ICE can take custody of that person in a safe and secure setting upon release from that agency’s custody. When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission.” – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

Wanting additional information on the historical immigration status of Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez, on October 7, 2019 I sent via e-mail ICE Public Affairs Officer Roman the following two questions:

Has ICE or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ever removed Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez from the United States of America to his country of origin Guatemala?

If ICE or CBP removed Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez from the country, what were the dates and places Carillo-Lopez was removed from the country?

On the morning of October 8, 2019 ICE Public Affairs Officer Roman responded via e-mail to my preceding questions in this way:

“No prior removals.” – Tanya J. Roman, ICE Public Affairs Officer.

Some background information on what caused the generation of the original October 7th ICE Public Affairs’ statement on Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez.

Bellevue Police on October 1, 2019 arrested after an extensive investigation Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez for his alleged role in the April 3, 2019 shooting death of Josue Flores, age 18, who was found deceased by police in a Bellevue park.  Bellevue Police have indicated that they believe killing of Josue Flores to be gang-related.

Since October 1st Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez has been incarcerated at the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in Seattle Washington:

Looking up the criminal charges against Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez on the Correctional Facility website reveals he has been charged with the crimes of Murder 2 and Robbery 2. A King County Superior Court set Carillo-Lopez’s bail at $2,000,000.00 for the Murder 2 charge and S150, 000.00 for the Robbery 2 charge.

Analysis of the ICE Public Affairs October 7, 2019 statement, clearly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are doing the job that was tasked to them in identifying foreign national criminals illegally present in United States like Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez.

But U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue to face a lack of cooperation in the enforcement of U.S. immigration law in King County, Washington and all across the state.

Ever since the Council of King County passed on November 10, 2009 Ordinance 16692, county law enforcement has been prohibited from enforcing federal immigration law.

The Metropolitan King County Council passed on September 3, 2014 Ordinance 17886 that prohibits honoring federal immigration detainers “for individuals in the custody of the department of adult and juvenile detention.”

On February 23, 2017 Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed Executive Order 17-01; the Governor’s executive order has restricted state employees and agencies from helping enforce federal immigration laws.

Since January 24, 2018 the U.S. Department of Justice has identified King County, Washington as possibly unlawfully restricting information sharing by its law enforcement officers with federal immigration authorities.

The Washington State Legislature this year passed sanctuary legislation, signed into law on May 21, 2019 by Governor Jay Inslee, prohibiting state, county and local law enforcement from inquiring about a person’s immigration status.

What does all the preceding information on the state of Washington local, county and state law enforcement not being able to cooperate with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration law mean?

When on March 15, 2019 the Bellevue Police Department (BPD) arrested Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez for the first time on local criminal charges and booked him into SCORE (South Correctional Entity) in Des Moines, Washington, neither the BPD officers who arrested Carillo-Lopez or the regional jail deputies were by county ordinance or gubernatorial executive order able to notify ICE agents that local law enforcement had taken him into custody.

Even after ICE on March 18, 2019 encountered Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez at SCORE and lodged an immigration detainer on him, jail deputies were not able let ICE agents know deputies had released Carillo-Lopez from the jail. According to ICE Public Affairs, Carillo-Lopez was released by SCORE deputies “on an unknown date.”

The stark deadly consequences of local, county and state law enforcement not being able to cooperate with ICE occurred approximately 16 days county later after ICE encountered Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez at SCORE, when the Guatemalan illegal alien would become an unnamed uncharged participant in the gang-related murder of Josue Flores on April 3, 2019.

Adding up the combined number of times Guatemalan illegal alien Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez was arrested by the Bellevue Police Department on March 15, 2019 and King County Sheriff’s Office on September 30, 2019 equates to him being arrested by local and county law enforcement five times in 199 days.

Combining the number of times U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) encountered and lodged immigration detainers on Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez while he was incarcerated at the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) on March 18, 2019 and the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) on June 11, 2019 and the two King County jail’s not honoring the immigration detainers lodged on him equates to four times in 85 days.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Public Affairs Officer Tanya J. Roman’s statement on the immigration status of Guatemalan illegal alien Carlos Daniel Carillo-Lopez should be a instructional reality check for King County elected officials, Washington State Legislature members and Washington Governor Jay Inslee; Washington local and county and state law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration law, honoring immigration detainers, could have prevented the Central American gang-banger’s crime rampage that likely included the April 3, 2019 murder of teenager Josue Flores.
