HELP SAVE MARYLAND 07/15/2020

Help Save Maryland -  Community Justice! ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Rapist Freed By MoCo County Executive Elrich 


Well, well, well.  Can you believe this news?  Last month, our illegal alien compadre, Rene Atilio Ramos-Hernandez, 56, of El Salvador was in Montgomery County police custody for sexual abuse of a minor.  We've heard this tune many times before! 

Montgomery County Police decided to release this federally wanted creep per County Executive Marc Elrich's Sanctuary Policy, which is specifically designed to protect the rights of illegal alien child rapists and others.  

MoCo Police gave Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Baltimore exactly 60 minutes - no more, no less - to come get Rene Atilio Ramos-Hernandez otherwise he was going to be set free.  

Not easy to get from Baltimore to Montgomery County in one hour on an avergae day, let alone no warning per say, so Ramos-Hernandez was of course released. So much for public safety in Montgomery County.

Update:  One would have thought Ramos-Hernandez would have made a beeline for El Salvador, but no.  Since his illegal arrival in the U.S. in 2000, Rene has been hiding in plain sight, even with his multiple previous arrests in VA and MD for drunk driving and driving with a suspended license.  

So Ramos-Hernandez rightly assumed he was good to go and continued his normal routine of going to work (and hunting for little girls?).  The officers of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) found the hard working "New American" creep at his job in DC.  

So Ramos-Hernandez steals jobs from American citizens, has a thing for drunk driving and adores little girls.  Thank you ICE/ERO for protecting the citizens of Montgomery County.  

Please contact the entire diverse Montgomery County Council and "Thank Them" for jeopardizing our community safety by allowing the County's Sanctuary Policy to stay in force so creeps like Rene Atilio Ramos-Hernandez are free to frolic.

Also send a special "Thanks" to Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich for allowing underage girls to be stalked and raped by illegal aliens, who are then freed by his inane "Sanctuary Policy".  In addition, "Thank" Elrich for the County's wonderful Rape Counseling Program. Its good to know some County employees are working hard as the program is getting a tremendous amount of use!

ICE arrests alleged sex offender released by Montgomery County

BALTIMORE - A man charged with sexual abuse of a minor was released from local custody June 23 in Montgomery County, Maryland, instead of being transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. On Wednesday, ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested Rene Atilio Ramos-Hernandez, 56, at his place of work in Washington, D.C. He is subject to a final order of removal from an immigration judge and will remain in ICE custody until his removal from the U.S.
"Our fugitive operations team safely carried out this arrest in the community, but this required additional time and resources when he could have safely been transferred to ICE custody within the secure confines of the Montgomery County Detention Center," said acting Baltimore Field Office Director Francisco Madrigal.
ERO officers lodged an immigration detainer June 19 with the Montgomery County Detention Center on Ramos-Hernandez following his recent arrest for sexual abuse of a minor. The immigration detainer was not honored, and Ramos-Hernandez was released back into the community June 23. Officers at Montgomery County Detention Center called to notify the ERO Baltimore field office as he was being released, but refused to hold Ramos-Hernandez until ERO officers could travel to the facility.
Ramos-Hernandez entered the U.S. illegally in 2000 near Douglas, Arizona. He was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol and transferred to ICE custody Sept. 26, 2000. An immigration judge granted him bond, and ICE released him from custody Oct. 17, 2000. Ramos-Hernandez has convictions for driving while intoxicated and driving on a suspended license in Fairfax County, Virginia, and for driving while intoxicated in Montgomery County, Maryland. On Dec. 19, 2017, Ramos-Hernandez failed to appear for immigration proceedings, and an immigration judge ordered his removal in absentia.

About Detainers

Under federal law, ICE has the authority to lodge immigration detainers with law enforcement partners who have custody of individuals arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable aliens. The detainer form 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. Yet, across the United States, several jurisdictions refuse to honor detainers and instead choose to willingly release criminal offenders back into their local communities where they are free to offend.
Congress has established no process, requirement, or expectation directing ICE to seek a judicial warrant from already overburdened federal courts before taking custody of an alien on civil immigration violations. This idea is simply a figment created by those who wish to undermine immigration enforcement and excuse the ill-conceived practices of sanctuary jurisdictions that put politics before public safety.

Sanctuary Policies Put Public Safety at Risk

When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release a criminal alien onto the streets, it negatively impacts public safety. Any local jurisdiction thinking that refusing to cooperate with ICE will result in a decrease in local immigration enforcement is mistaken. Local jurisdictions that choose to not cooperate with ICE are likely to see an increase in ICE enforcement activity, as the agency has no choice but to conduct more at-large arrest operations. A consequence of ICE being forced to make more arrests on the streets, the agency is likely to encounter other unlawfully present foreign nationals who would not have been encountered had we been allowed to take custody of a criminal target within the confines of a local jail. Additionally, once these criminals are out on the street, confirming their whereabouts is often time consuming and resource intensive. Many of our arrest targets are seasoned criminals who are savvy about eluding law enforcement.

"MS-13 Remains an Ever-Present - and Expanding - Threat to Communities Nationwide" 

by Jennifer G. Hickey


Two years ago, the ruthless MS-13 gang was at the center of the ongoing national debate over illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump for calling them "animals," while Vox published a video claiming brutal gang members were misunderstood kids who liked to take selfies and ride their bikes. While they may not grab national headlines now, MS-13 remains a concern of federal and local law enforcement.

Contrary to those who wish to downplay the threat of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, their brutality and disregard for the communities on which they prey can be seen in local headlines over the last few months.
  • In July, an MS-13 gang member was arrested for the murder of Francisco Medrano-Campos outside his Wheaton, Maryland, apartment. Five other suspects with MS-13 ties were arrested in June. All suspects are illegal aliens.
  • On July 1, an El Salvadoran MS-13 member was sentenced in a New York State court to 34 years to life in prison for the 2018 murder of Ian Cruz and Harold B. Sermeno, who was shot four times in the head. The trial of other gang members are pending.
  • In June, police officers in Baltimore County, Maryland, began investigating the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Michelle Tenezaca and the non-fatal stabbing of her teenage sister and boyfriend. All three attacks had links to the notorious MS-13 gang, according to police.
  • Two adults and one teen were arrested for their involvement in three separate attacks that took place in mid-June and which Leesburg, Virginia, police determined were related to MS-13 gang activity.
  • On May 14, federal prosecutors in New York unsealed indictments against 10 members of the Indios Locos Salvatruchas clique of MS-13 on various federal crimes that prosecutors described as "cold-blooded, senseless and brutally violent."
Following the June sentencing of two MS-13 members for their involvement in the 2018 shooting and stabbing of a 40-year old man in Virginia, G. Zachary Terwilliger, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, did not mince word about the culpability of local officials who claim they support sanctuary policies in order to protect immigrant communities.

"By burying their heads in the sand and lacking courage to address a problem because they mistakenly deem it to be politically incorrect, various community leaders in Northern Virginia simply refuse to acknowledge the gang problem to the detriment of the same Hispanic community they claim to be defending," he argued.

Furthermore, statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that arrests of MS-13 gang members have increased rapidly over the last two years. In FY2017, there were 228 total arrests of MS-13 members, but that figure almost doubled to 413 in FY2018 and rose again last year with 464 gang apprehensions. So far in FY2020, 61 arrests of MS-13 gang members have been made. Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations personnel made over 450 arrests of MS-13 members in FY2019, the latest data available.

Rather than fading away, the notorious gang is expanding beyond the communities where they've had a decades-long presence. For example, MS-13 is branching out beyond the suburbs of Washington, D.C., into several counties in Maryland, a known sanctuary state.
Last September, seven MS-13 gang members - six of whom are illegal aliens - were arrested in Baltimore County for a brutal July 2019 murder.

"We are starting to see a presence spreading throughout Maryland and areas where we traditionally have not," FBI and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Cheyvoryea Gibson told WJZ-TV, CBS News' Baltimore affiliate in January.

In fact, MS-13's presence has become so pervasive in Maryland that the state took the unprecedented step of setting up a tip line for anonymous tips. Local and national officials and the media may be blissfully ignorant about MS-13's continued threat, but for those living in the communities they lead, that ignorance has deadly consequences.

"Life, Liberty and Levin" - Mark Levin Interview with Bob Woodson 

Bob is the founder and President of the Woodson Center.  During the interview, Bob discusses the Center's "1776 Initiative" which was created to refute the claims of the New York Times' 1619 Project (that America has been and continues to be all about Slavery since 1619!).  

This is one of the best interviews I have ever watched.  Woodson absolutely destroys the 1619 slavery BS, the liberals' undoing of the Black nuclear family and the current blm scam. 

The Center "supports high achieving families in low income communities." Blacks should not be "victims" with no personal responsibility for their actions and state of affairs, nor should Whites be viewed as "oppressors".

I made a donation to the Woodson Center after watching!    https://woodsoncenter.org/

"Year Zero" by Victor Davis Hanson

"Every cultural revolution starts at year zero, whether explicitly or implicitly. The French Revolution recalibrated the calendar to begin anew, and the genocidal Pol Pot declared his own Cambodian revolutionary ascension as the beginning of time."

Yet Another Reason Why I'm Pleased I Cancelled My Subscription to the Wash Post


A Black female Washington Post editor is under fire for tweeting White women are "lucky" that blacks such as herself just call them "Karens" - and don't take "revenge."

What is this all about?   Blacks calling white women "Karen"?  Revenge for not voting Democrat?  Seriously?

Karen Attiah - What an ignorant and racist piece of garbage employed as a Wash Post Editor.  But love her hairstyle.

"New York Times opinion columnist and editor Bari Weiss announced Tuesday she is leaving the Gray Lady, saying she was bullied by colleagues."

A Jewish editor is effectively forced out of her NYT position because of leftist hate and Antisemitism.

Very well written.  Worth the read.  No one is safe on the left.   

"Dear A.G.,

It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times. 

I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper's failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn't have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.

I was honored to be part of that effort, led by James Bennet. I am proud of my work as a writer and as an editor. Among those I helped bring to our pages: the Venezuelan dissident Wuilly Arteaga; the Iranian chess champion Dorsa Derakhshani; and the Hong Kong Christian democrat Derek Lam. Also: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Masih Alinejad, Zaina Arafat, Elna Baker, Rachael Denhollander, Matti Friedman, Nick Gillespie, Heather Heying, Randall Kennedy, Julius Krein, Monica Lewinsky, Glenn Loury, Jesse Singal, Ali Soufan, Chloe Valdary, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wesley Yang, and many others.

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election-lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society-have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions.I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I'm "writing about the Jews again." Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly "inclusive" one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.

There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I'm no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong. 

I do not understand how you have allowed this kind of behavior to go on inside your company in full view of the paper's entire staff and the public. And I certainly can't square how you and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.

Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity-let alone risk-taking-is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world? And so self-censorship has become the norm.

What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person's ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets. 

Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble, if not fired. If a piece is perceived as likely to inspire backlash internally or on social media, the editor or writer avoids pitching it. If she feels strongly enough to suggest it, she is quickly steered to safer ground. And if, every now and then, she succeeds in getting a piece published that does not explicitly promote progressive causes, it happens only after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated.

It took the paper two days and two jobs to say that the Tom Cotton op-ed "fell short of our standards." We attached an editor's note on a travel story about Jaffa shortly after it was published because it "failed to touch on important aspects of Jaffa's makeup and its history." But there is still none appended to Cheryl Strayed's fawning interview with the writer Alice Walker, a proud anti-Semite who believes in lizard Illuminati. 

The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people. This is a galaxy in which, to choose just a few recent examples, the Soviet space program is lauded for its "diversity"; the doxxing of teenagers in the name of justice is condoned; and the worst caste systems in human history includes the United States alongside Nazi Germany.

Even now, I am confident that most people at The Times do not hold these views. Yet they are cowed by those who do. Why? Perhaps because they believe the ultimate goal is righteous. Perhaps because they believe that they will be granted protection if they nod along as the coin of our realm-language-is degraded in service to an ever-shifting laundry list of right causes. Perhaps because there are millions of unemployed people in this country and they feel lucky to have a job in a contracting industry. 

Or perhaps it is because they know that, nowadays, standing up for principle at the paper does not win plaudits. It puts a target on your back. Too wise to post on Slack, they write to me privately about the "new McCarthyism" that has taken root at the paper of record.

All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they'll have to do to advance in their careers. Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril. Rule Two: Never risk commissioning a story that goes against the narrative. Rule Three: Never believe an editor or publisher who urges you to go against the grain. Eventually, the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you'll be hung out to dry.

For these young writers and editors, there is one consolation. As places like The Times and other once-great journalistic institutions betray their standards and lose sight of their principles, Americans still hunger for news that is accurate, opinions that are vital, and debate that is sincere. I hear from these people every day. "An independent press is not a liberal ideal or a progressive ideal or a democratic ideal. It's an American ideal," you said a few years ago. I couldn't agree more. America is a great country that deserves a great newspaper. 

None of this means that some of the most talented journalists in the world don't still labor for this newspaper. They do, which is what makes the illiberal environment especially heartbreaking. I will be, as ever, a dedicated reader of their work. But I can no longer do the work that you brought me here to do-the work that Adolph Ochs described in that famous 1896 statement: "to make of the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance, and to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion."

Ochs's idea is one of the best I've encountered. And I've always comforted myself with the notion that the best ideas win out. But ideas cannot win on their own. They need a voice. They need a hearing. Above all, they must be backed by people willing to live by them. 

Sincerely,
Bari"
