All should be cool with arrests

Agency doing its job cleaning up, protecting Americans

- Howie CARR

Who represents a greater threat to you and your family’s personal safety — brazen illegal immigrant criminals who know they face no penalties for their lawlessnes­s, or the ICE agents who are trying to grab them at local courthouse­s before they can kill, rape or rob any more Americans?

The answer’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

Yet, in certain circles, it’s ICE — U.S. Immigratio­n and Customs Enforcemen­t — that’s taking the heat for actually having the temerity to … enforce the law.

Let me pose the question another way — suppose you have a Dominican career criminal, with three aliases, deported twice already, who gets picked up with cocaine in his pocket, and when the cops run his three aliases through the computer, they get back a fugitive warrant from Pennsylvan­ia on a drunken-driving charge?

Is this the kind of “migrant” you want in your country?

Would you want to thank an ICE agent who showed up at the courthouse to make sure this arch fiend was sent back to one of the Third World hellholes that spawned him and millions more like him who are now destroying this country?

I’d go up and shake that ICE agent’s hand and per- sonally congratula­te him for ridding civilizati­on of such a thug. And so, I think, would you.

In case you missed it, there was an alleged case involving such a suspect earlier this year at the Newton District Court. For the second time in less than a year, a dangerous illegal immigrant reportedly fled the courthouse, jumping a fence as an ICE agent was stalled elsewhere in the building.

A federal grand jury is hearing testimony. The outrage is palpable — against the feds for trying to take a foreign monster off the board before he hurts any more taxpayers.

Ironically, this latest coddling of a Dominican illegal immigrant comes to light the same week that ICE rounds up 58 more of these criminals who desperatel­y want to get their cases transferre­d to the Newton District Court, the better to escape from.

According to ICE, “15 individual­s were previously released from law enforcemen­t custody, correction­al facilities, and/or court custody with an active detainer.”

In other words, the Newton District Court is not an aberration. It’s the norm.

These illegal immigrants the judges are cutting loose are only charged with minor crimes like murder, DWI, cocaine traffickin­g, assault, attempted assault, aggravated identity theft etc., etc.

Let’s consider some of the bad hombres that ICE lugged in New England these past few days, over the strenuous objections of the local Democrats:

In Methuen, they arrested a 23-year-old Dominican claiming to be an American with conviction­s for drug traffickin­g, identity theft and resisting arrest, with pending charges for drug traffickin­g.

In Lancaster, N.H., a Haitian was arrested in Coos County Superior Court after an appearance on a domestic violence charge. He’s already been convicted of drunken driving and drug traffickin­g.

In Lawrence, a Dominican who had stolen an American’s identity was arrested. He had prior conviction­s for possession to distribute cocaine and heroin.

In Brockton, it was a 41year-old Guadeloupe native with conviction­s for DWI, cocaine possession and assault and battery. According to ICE, this undocument­ed Democrat has more than 30 adult arraignmen­ts, including kidnapping and domestic violence.

In Hyannis, a Jamaican, age 41, was arrested after conviction for possession of 28-100 grams of cocaine.

In Dorchester, a 40-yearold Dominican was lugged. He had priors for traffickin­g cocaine and money laundering.

In Cranston, R.I., ICE arrested a 47-year-old Dominican with priors for cocaine possession, DUI and domestic assault.

In Putnam, Conn., ICE arrested a 59-year-old Brazilian who was wanted for murder in Brazil by allegedly throwing a net over his victim and stabbing him 20 times.

I’m guessing that every single one of these foreign felons has a public defender, because of course they’re all “indigent.”

I’m guessing, too, that every single one of these would-be Democrats will soon be requesting a change of venue — to Newton District Court. Where in the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls.
