“The lie being propagated by de Blasio and other immigration anarchists is
that immigrants need to be shielded against evil immigration law enforcement
officers.  In the real world, immigrants who abide by our laws have
absolutely nothing to fear from ICE agents, the same way that law abiding
motorists have nothing to fear if they encounter a sobriety checkpoint.

However, unlicensed motorists, motorists who are operating their vehicles
under the influence of alcohol or drugs and motorists who have outstanding
warrants are likely to be taken into custody, not because the police
officers are evil, but because they swore to enforce our laws and protect
the public.

Meanwhile, even as this lawsuit to impede immigration law enforcement was
being filed in lower Manhattan, 12 alleged members of the extremely violent
transnational gang, the Trinitarios, that traces its origins back to the
Dominican Republic, were being arraigned in the Bronx, for the unfathomably
violent murder of a 15 year old boy, Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, affectionately
known as Junior.  He was dragged out of a Bronx bodega and stabbed and
slashed with machetes last month.”--- Michael Cutler

Hi Gang:
On July 31, 2018, FrontPage Magazine published my article:

New lows in immigration lunacy.

Kindly forward this e-mail to your senators and congressional
representatives and to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to
whom you send this forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to
create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!
Please remember to listen to my radio show, “The Michael Cutler Hour” on
BlogTalk Radio on Friday evenings at 7:00 PM, Eastern Time, and find
podcasts of my previous programs at:   
  USA Talk Radio <http://www.blogtalkradio.com/usatalkradio
My article for FrontPage Magazine today is predicated on two events that
took place on the same day (July 18, 2018).  On that day 12 members of a
vicious transnational gang were arraigned for the unfathomable depraved
violent murder of a 15 year old boy, “Junior" who aspired to become a member
of the NYPD.  The gang that they are alleged to belong to is the
“Trinatarios" which has direct links to the Dominican Republic,  On the very
same day New York City and New York State, joined by representatives of
other states, sued the Department of Justice to have federal funds restored.
The Trump administration decided to withhold those funds because of the
“Sanctuary” policies of those jurisdictions.
There is much more to this story- but you will have to read my article to
find out just how insane our “leaders” have become and how the NYPD, at the
behest of Mayor DiBlasio are going to protect children who have been
targeted for murder by violent transnational gangs.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone!
 Ignorance is not bliss.  Knowledge is power, so my article provides some
cold hard facts for you to consider and hopefully share with others.

New lows in immigration lunacy.

July 31, 2018

Michael Cutler <https://www.frontpagemag.com/author/michael-cutler
Today we will examine a confluence of events and connect the dots to expose
hypocrisy and dispel the myths and lies spewed by immigration anarchists.

Let's begin with a July 18, 2018 report from the NY Post newspaper stating
that the state of New York is suing the Justice Department over immigration
laws
<https://nypost.com/2018/07/18/new-york-sues-justice-department-over-immigra
tion-laws/
> . According to this report both the City of New York and the
State of New York are suing the U.S. Justice Department to stop the DOJ from
blocking four million dollars in federal funds for not complying with
regulations that require that the city and other recipients of federal
grants provide notice to the Department of Homeland Security at least 48
hours in advance of the date and time of any inmate for whom the DHS had
requested such an advance notice, and to provide DHS with access to inmates
in city-maintained detention facilitates when DHS deems them to be “persons
of interest.”

U.S. News & World Report also published an Associated Press news report
<https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-york/articles/2018-07-18/6-stat
es-and-nyc-sue-us-over-immigration-related-policy
>  about the same story but
also noting that in addition to New York City and New York State, five other
states, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington, Massachusetts and Virginia had
also filed lawsuits on July 18, 2018 in the federal courthouse in lower
Manhattan.

The total amount of money being withheld by the DOJ is twenty-five million
dollars of which four million would go to New York City.

The news report included this excerpt which quoted New York City’s mayor:

"Our message is clear: the Trump Administration's actions are illegal and
morally bankrupt," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a release.

"We have proven, time and again, that welcoming immigrants has helped make
this the safest big city in the country. Any attempt to jeopardize the trust
between our local law enforcement and immigrant New Yorkers will fail," de
Blasio added.

Since when is it “illegal and morally bankrupt” to seek the deportation of
aliens who evade the inspections process at ports of entry and/or commit
other violation of our immigration laws, which were enacted to protect
national security, public health, public safety and the livelihoods of
American workers?

Since when is following the findings and recommendations of the 9/11
Commission that called for enhanced border security and enhanced enforcement
of immigration laws from within the interior of the United States “illegal
and morally bankrupt?”

De Blasio may be playing the “compassion card” but in reality, sanctuary
cities protect crooked employers and human traffickers.

ployers-and-michael-cutler


Notwithstanding that New York City has the largest and most sophisticated
police department, New York City is a hub for the deadly drug trade
<https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268460/new-york-city-hub-deadly-drug-trade
-michael-cutler
> , likely because of its sanctuary policies. Furthermore,
victims of transnational gangs are more often than not, the immigrants and
Americans who live in the same ethnic immigrant communities as the criminal
aliens.

This is true of every ethnic immigrant community consisting of residents
from all over the world. Human nature is human nature.  Just as all humans
bleed red all humans, for better or for worse, all people have the same
character traits.

The lie being propagated by de Blasio and other immigration anarchists is
that immigrants need to be shielded against evil immigration law enforcement
officers.  In the real world, immigrants who abide by our laws have
absolutely nothing to fear from ICE agents, the same way that law abiding
motorists have nothing to fear if they encounter a sobriety checkpoint.

However, unlicensed motorists, motorists who are operating their vehicles
under the influence of alcohol or drugs and motorists who have outstanding
warrants are likely to be taken into custody, not because the police
officers are evil, but because they swore to enforce our laws and protect
the public.

Meanwhile, even as this lawsuit to impede immigration law enforcement was
being filed in lower Manhattan, 12 alleged members of the extremely violent
transnational gang, the Trinitarios, that traces its origins back to the
Dominican Republic, were being arraigned in the Bronx, for the unfathomably
violent murder of a 15 year old boy, Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, affectionately
known as Junior.  He was dragged out of a Bronx bodega and stabbed and
slashed with machetes last month.

Junior belonged to the NYPD Explorer program and aspired to become an NYPD
detective.  Tragically, that dream died when he was viciously slaughtered.

Since Junior’s vicious murder the 12 suspects were hunted down by members
of the NYPD.  Understandably, the case sparked a level of outrage seldom
seen even in a city like New York.  

The media has come to refer to the investigation and arrests as “Justice
for Junior.” 

On July 16, 2018 the Daily News reported on a vicious assault apparently
related to the murder investigation (EXCLUSIVE: Feds fighting to keep
accused Trinitarios gang member involved in Bronx River Parkway beatdown
behind bars
<http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-metro-bronx-river-parkway-trinitario
s-attack-bail-appeal-20180713-story.html
> ). Here is an excerpt:

Federal prosecutors are fighting to make sure a Trinitarios gang member
stays locked up while awaiting trial on charges related to a broad-daylight
beatdown linked to the murder of Bronx teen Lesandro (Junior) Guzman-Feliz.

Ramon Paulino, 21, is accused of bashing a 14-year-old boy with a log in
the median of the Bronx River Parkway on June 18. Video shows 11 others
joined Paulino in the vicious attack that left the young victim with stab
wounds so severe he went into cardiac arrest. The teen barely survived.

On July 18, 2018 ABC News in New York City posted a report about the case
under the title, "Justice for Junior: 12 suspects appear in court in teen's
murder
<http://abc7ny.com/live-justice-for-junior--12-suspects-appear-in-court/3780
800/
> ."

Thus far no news reports have provided any information about the
citizenship and/or immigration status of any of the 12 suspects.  However,
the reports do connect them to that Dominican-linked transnational gang.
Perhaps the fact that NYC is a “Sanctuary City” enticed those thugs to set
up shop in the Bronx.

The final three paragraphs of the ABC New report are worth considering:

The murder happened outside a bodega on East 183rd Street and Bathgate
Avenue in the Tremont section just after 11:30 p.m. on June 20. Junior, who
had hopes of becoming an NYPD detective, tried to run to St. Barnabas
Hospital a block away but collapsed on the sidewalk.

Martinez-Estrella, who has a prior arrest for robbing and beating a
14-year-old with a golf club in 2016, was identified by police as the one
who sliced the victim's neck. Authorities say the men are all members of the
Trinitarios gang.

The tragedy is also spurring changes to keep young people safe. Several
lawmakers say they're rolling out a Safe Haven initiative in response to
Junior's murder that would require small businesses to be a safe haven for
teens who are seeking help.

That final paragraph is outrageous beyond belief -- while NYC law makers
are supportive of illegal sanitary policies, they are now calling on shop
keepers to protect innocent victims like Junior under the auspices of the
“Safe Haven Initiative.”  

This takes my breath away!  Are unarmed shop keepers now supposed to jump
into action to get between victims and a mob of armed thugs?  (Let’s
remember how difficult if not impossible it would be for a store owner to
have a licensed firearm.)

Who will pay the hospital bills for well-intentioned good samaritan shop
keepers who are injured?  Who will pay their funeral expenses or support the
families of those who might be brave enough to step up to protect innocent
victims?

The most effective solution would be to have ICE agents work in close
cooperation with the NYPD to develop informants in the immigration
communities and use the combined federal as well as state law enforcement
authority provided to federal agents and local cops to hammer transnational
gang members.

I am not speaking from the position of conjecture but real-world
experience.  What de Blasio and his immigration anarchist buddies won’t tell
you is that aliens, including aliens who are illegally present in the United
States may be provide with temporary or even permanent lawful immigration
status in the  United States when they provide significant actionable
intelligence to law enforcement authorities.

I spent four years as the first INS special agent assigned to the Unified
Intelligence Division for he DEA in New York City and then was promoted to
the position of Senior Special Agent and assigned to the Organized Crime,
Drug Enforcement Task Force. In both positions I worked intimately, on a
day-to-day basis with other federal law enforcement agencies as well as with
members of local and state police, including the NYPD, to identify and
investigate major drug trafficking organizations in the New York area
ultimately leading to the arrest of its members.

One of my key areas of responsibility was to use my authority as an INS
agent to cultivate informants.

I also brought to bear my statutory authority to arrest and prosecute
criminal aliens to facilitate drug investigations.  For example, under
federal law, an illegal alien in possession of a firearm or even just
ammunition commits a felony that has a ten year maximum penalty.  Aliens who
are deported and unlawfully reenter the United States face a maximum of 20
years in prison.

Immigration anarchists like de Blasio, however, would apparently rather
that endangered children seek help from unarmed shop keepers.

Fortunately the Trump administration sees things much differently.

********************************************************************
Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly
every challenge and threat confronting the United States today!  Simply
stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs
of American workers.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws
are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against
international terrorists and transnational criminals.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!"
Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally
while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within.  The
failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining
the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who
serve in our military!
If our government's failures to protect American jobs by securing our
nation's borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you
or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and
Congressional "Representative. This is not only your right- it is your
obligation! 
All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as
dumb as they hope we are!

We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our
nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.

American Lives Matter!
