Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf Tried to Protect Illegal Immigrants Like This from ICE
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 150 people in the San Francisco Bay Area beginning on Sunday. One day earlier, Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf had warned the illegal immigrant community that the raids were coming, saying: “I am sharing this information publicly not to panic our residents but to protect them. My priority is for the well-being and safety of all residents — particularly our most vulnerable.” Despite her interference, ICE still nabbed a lot of people.
What type of person did they arrest? If you don’t read very far into an article from CBS San Francisco Bay Area, you would think: Family men. That’s who they arrested. The article is titled Family Heartbroken After Napa Man Arrested By ICE Agents and begins this way:
As ICE agents made arrests across the state Sunday during their latest crackdown, KPIX 5 spoke to a teen girl from Napa who watched in tears as her father was taken away.
Video posted on Snapchat captured the moment of the arrest just after 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
ICE agents took Armando Nunez Salgado into custody outside his home. According to family members, he was in the backyard when agents walked right in through the side gate. His 14-year-old daughter Isabel Salgado dissolved into tears.
“I cried. I got very emotional, I was really sad,” said Isabel. “I mean to watch someone who is part of your everyday life and then you just have to watch him leave without saying goodbye. It kind of hurts.”
Armando is a construction worker who has been in America more than 30 years. His wife Elena Ponce said his parents brought him to the U.S. when he was only four years old.
The story quotes his wife as saying: “He wasn’t a danger to the community in any way.” It’s a tearjerker. Good on the Oakland mayor, amirite?!
Except …
… Except that, as you read further into the article, you find that this particular illegal immigrant was into drugs. And gangs. And violence.
But let’s not read the hacks at CBS any further. Let’s hear from ICE. Jazz Shaw at Hot Air has the press release from ICE:
On Sunday, Feb. 25, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) San Francisco Fugitive Operations Team arrested ICE fugitive Armando Nuñez-Salgado, 38, a citizen of Mexico and documented Sureño gang member, who has been previously removed by ICE on four prior occasions. Over the past 18 years he has accumulated criminal convictions in California that have resulted in more than 15 years of prison sentencings. His criminal convictions include assault with a deadly weapon (statutorily enhanced because of his gang member status), burglary, hit-and-run causing injury and evading a peace officer.
Let me translate “Sureño gang member” for you. That is someone who owes allegiance to the Mexican Mafia, and is willing to carry out criminal acts on their behalf. This man’s record of violence had him in ICE’s crosshairs for some time, and he had been deported four times before.
I guess he should have listened when the lunatic currently occupying the Oakland mayor’s office tried to warn him.
Schaaf, you’ll be pleased to learn, has no regrets:
In an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday, she explained that her decision to tip off immigrants stemmed from a deep disagreement with immigration enforcement under the Trump administration and a resistance to the administration’s enforcement efforts.
Resistance!!!
Well, guess what? Immigration enforcement is a federal priority, not a local one. She doesn’t get to show “resistance” to it.
I hope the Trump administration finds ways to punish leaders of sanctuary cities in general, and this woman in particular, for their dangerous actions. This interference with federal policy is outrageous, and (as we saw with Kate Steinle) costs lives. It has to stop.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 2/28/2018 @ 9:21 amI am glad to see illegal immigrants removed.
The lawyers will correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that what the mayor did is, from a legal standpoint, equivalent to telling someone whose car is double-parked that a meter-maid is coming down the street, or flashing your lights to warn an on-coming driver of a cop with radar ahead. Arguably poor citizenship (you should allow your friends to get parking tickets when they park illegally), but it is not the same as interfering with the police in a criminal matter.
Unlawful presence is a civil infraction, like a parking ticket. From what is in the post, it sounds like the guy served the time for the crimes he was convicted of and didn’t have warrants outstanding. That’s why the ICE picked him up, and not the police.

nk (dbc370) — 2/28/2018 @ 9:38 amTrump should try “a pilot program to gauge the effects, if any, of illegal aliens in a large city” by shipping all California catch-and-releases to a Oakland with the stipulation that they’re safe from deportation as long as they’re inside the city limits. With maybe a second one in Malibu to gauge the effects in a smaller city.
nk (dbc370) — 2/28/2018 @ 9:43 amGreat. I wonder how long before he is deported a sixth time.
What I would like to see is POW type camps in the deserts of California, Arizona and Texas, where they are placed before deportation. A year for first timers, five years for second timers, and 10 for any violations after that. Use the Joe Arpio model for cost effectiveness.
AND build the wall.

I see her as someone outing an undercover police officer in front of a bunch of criminals during the middle of a drug deal. Her actions placed ICE officers in very real danger, apparently based on information that was not available to the general public that she obtained as a result of her government position.
Arrest her on federal charges of obstruction for starters, then throw everything you can at her for trial. Everything.

papertiger (c8116c) — 2/28/2018 @ 10:41 amThey were extraditing the guy?

phunctor (bf276f) — 2/28/2018 @ 11:06 amNope and nope. Extraditions are signed by the Executive — state governor or U.S. Secretary of State. Deportations by the Attorney General or an immigration judge under the authority of the Attorney General.
But, yeah, I mixed up extradition with deportation.

(2) If you are a supporter of the Second Amendment, your blood must have surely chilled, as mine did, listening to the nitwit expose his profound ignorance and tractability in today’s televised meeting, in which he consistently rebuked every Republican legislator present and consistently encouraged every Dem demanding immediate action, including requiring me to get a background check is my grandfather leaves me his shotgun in his will.

Beldar (fa637a) — 2/28/2018 @ 1:17 pmWith my extensive legal training (I watched Legally Blonde) it seems that the immigration law should be criminal if intentional and civil if inadvertent, mens rea (heh, the extent of my legal training) being the operative principle. Somebody overstaying a visa a few days because their Mom got sick just before they were supposed to leave should be fined. Somebody crossing the border through a river and desert area, jail then deportation.

None of what ICE is doing is for the purpose of fighting crime or breaking up a gang – this is just propaganda and a rationalization for the public. And what they are doing is utterly useless if it was their purpose.
That this has anything to do with crime is untrue.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/nyregion/sanctuary-cities-immigrants-ice.html
Sounds like they are not going after real criminals. Or maybe I’m reading the New York Times story wrong. Maybe they have another way of getting them.
In this case in Oakland, they probably went after Salgado because he had been deported four times already and for no other reason. None of what they are doing is for the purpose of fighting crime or breaking up a gang – this is just a rationalization. That this has anything to do with crime is getting more untrue with time the more they scale up.

Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/28/2018 @ 1:26 pmWe are right now, with the immigration issue, where we were before the “Compromise of 1850” with the slavery issue, except that I don’t think there will be something cognate to the Fugitive Slave Law, which attempted to make states that didn’t want to enforce the slavery laws. This haoppened in part because it was based on aconstitutional provision.)
Political pressure, and a little judicial activism, trying to force the national government to do what a majority didn’t want to also played a role, and here the judicial activism is in the opposite direction.
People pushing for a crackdown on sanctuary cities and states would divide the country more than than abortion, gun rights, or the Vietnam War did.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 2/28/2018 @ 1:27 pmICE doesn’t even have to prove that Salgado is dangerous, or even a gang member, even though that’s probably accurate, but merely that has repeatedly flouted U.S. immigration law, which applies to him mainly because of an accident of birth, and what his parents did.
And what they keep on doing would fit some people’s definition of insanity.
Since all of his close family seems to be in the United States and he doesn’t have can’t support them in Mexico, except maybe by getting more deeply involved in crinminal activity, which he is probably too incomptent to be very good at, he will try to come back, and being a member of a Mexican drug gang, means he can and will succeed in coming back, so long as the gang is in existence. But ICE is not trying to do anything practical. Its just a government bureaucracy.
It might seem that he would be a candidate (if he was not too violent) for recruitment as an informer, but they are probably not trying to do that.

Kevin M (752a26) — 2/28/2018 @ 3:23 pmIn this case in Oakland, they probably went after Salgado because he had been deported four times already and for no other reason. None of what they are doing is for the purpose of fighting crime or breaking up a gang – this is just a rationalization.

Are you effing kidding me? Rap sheet: Over the past 18 years he has accumulated criminal convictions in California that have resulted in more than 15 years of prison sentencings. His criminal convictions include assault with a deadly weapon (statutorily enhanced because of his gang member status), burglary, hit-and-run causing injury and evading a peace officer. (bolded by Patterico).
This makes his illegal entry a serious felony, worth 20 years in federal prison plus any time left over from any parole.
Or maybe you think that they give out 20 year sentences for spitting on the sidewalk?
This is lame, Sammy.

Ben burn (abbb2c) — 2/28/2018 @ 4:09 pmThis from an admittedly #NeverTrump commenter at Insty:
The key take-aways:
* Trump shut down the idea of expanding concealed carry, something House Republicans have been strongly pushing for. This is arguably the biggest issue for the NRA and and gun rights advocates right now.
* He called for a “merger” of the Murphy-Cornyn and Manchin-Toomey gun bills: “I like a merger, because I think the merger works out better.”
* Trump encouraged taking the guns of people who pose a threat to themselves and others: “I like taking the guns early…take the guns first, go through due process second.”
* He told Sen. Feinstein to discuss an assault weapons ban with Manchin and Toomey, and that he wants their final bill to be “very strong, I’d rather have you come down on the strong side instead of the weak side.”
* On bump stocks: He said Congress doesn’t need to worry about prohibiting them, because he is going to “write that out … by executive order.”
Republican Sen. Pat Toomey told Trump his bill didn’t deal with raising the age limit from 18 to 21 to purchase certain weapons.
* Trump responded: “You know why, because you’re afraid of the NRA.”

She was uniquely qualified because if in the course of doing her duty her hand happened to to touch for example the obnoxious Michelle Fields nobody is going to take the obligitory “she assaulted me” stories seriously.
The reason why Hope is leaving? She is intensely shy, and the job wasn’t supposed to include personal gotcha interviews conducted by the lowest form of villain (D-rep) on CSPAN.

nk (dbc370) — 2/28/2018 @ 4:52 pm@ nk (#137): I didn’t quite follow, why exactly might the filibuster “not be such a bad thing after all”? To stop Trump from (ahem) colluding with Dems and squishy Republicans to pass gun control laws? Meh, no such nonsense will happen in the Senate, because it couldn’t get through the current House. Now, next Congress, if the House flips but not the Senate, that might, sadly, turn out to be true.

Ben burn (abbb2c) — 2/28/2018 @ 5:02 pmMeanwhile in South Africa:
White South African farmers will be removed from their land after a landslide vote in parliament.
The country’s constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema.
It passed by 241 votes for to 83 against after a vote on Tuesday, and the policy was a key factor in new president Cyril Ramaphosa’s platform after he took over from Jacob Zuma in February.
Mr Malema has a long-standing commitment to land confiscation without compensation. In 2016 he told his supporters he was ‘not calling for the slaughter of white people – at least for now’.
A 2017 South African government audit found white people owned 72 per cent of farmland.
Rural affairs minister for the ruling African National Congress party said ‘The ANC unequivocally supports the principle of land expropriation without compensation’.

I really don’t have a problem with strengthening the background check procedure, that is, making it work as advertised which it seems it doesn’t always.
As far as the comment about taking the guns first and then going through the process, it’s been my experience that’s the way it usually works when you get in front of a judge, they tell you you can’t have guns in your house until the case has been resolved. That’s a nothing burger I think.
Having said all that, as a Trump supporter second only to happyfeet around here, if Trump starts banning weapons, I’m done with him.

Dave, I don’t disagree about that. I’d suggest a gradual process, such as a progressive land tax, applied to all land-holders. The tax is a modest property tax for most, but those who hold a lot of land need to sell it off or pay a steep tax. Maybe even steeper if the holding is contiguous. This tax can be paid in land, which the state then allocates as it will.
As we all know, “taxation” isn’t “expropriation without compensation.”

The white South Africans f’ked up after WWII when they refused to incorporate black South Africans into the prosperous middle class giving them an equal stake in the status quo. Middle class! That’s the bulwark against Revolution and Communism. Now, it’s too late. Maybe in two or three generations the South Africa can advance to a modern Russian-style kleptocracy. Until then, it will be a small oligarchy in charge of a savage mob. Bad times for everybody.

Pinandpuller (47dd86) — 2/28/2018 @ 11:01 pmWhile many people may not be aware of this fact, Durban has the highest concentration of Indians outside of India. We delve into the history that led to this and explain how this came to be.
Indians from north and south India first began arriving in the Port of Natal from India in 1860. Unlike East Africa where almost none of the emigrants took to agriculture, in South Africa indentured labour was primarily provided for agriculture and as servants, cooks, watchmen and builders at the Natal-Transvaal railways. There were two waves of Indian emigration to South Africa; the first being indentured labour brought by the British to work in the sugar cane fields of Natal and the second was in the form of paid passengers, who were mainly Gujarati Muslim and Hindu businessmen travelling to Africa.
Indentured labour, a modern form of slavery tied a worker to an employer by contract (usually for five years) in return for wages and the cost of passage. After 1917 the majority of the labourers stayed back and became land owners on Durban’s east coast and diversified into other fields. By the 1940s, the next generation became the backbone of the emerging industrial working class in KwaZulu-Natal.

Often served with grated carrot, chilli and onion salad, the bunny chow is a meal that certainly has its own distinctive look. And it also demands to be eaten in a particular way. It’s expected to be eaten with the hands, with the idea being to start from the ‘virgin’ scooped-out bread at the top and to end at the gravy-soaked bottom.
But how did the bunny chow come to be? Well, one thing that’s known for sure is that it was created during apartheid for the indentured Indian labourers, who were brought to work in Natal’s sugarcane fields. The word ‘bunny’ comes from ‘bania’, the caste of the Indian businessmen who sold the curry, while ‘chow’ is, of course, slang for ‘food’.
One story goes that because the law during apartheid forbade black people from entering restaurants and cafes, they took to ordering take-out meals from the sides or backdoors of restaurants.
The most popular dish at the times was roti and beans. But the roti (a thin wheat naan) fell apart, so creative proprietors began using loaves of bread as take-out containers, scooping them out and filling them with the bean curry. The bread, while not as ideal as roti, became an accepted accompaniment to eat the curry with.

Pinandpuller (47dd86) — 2/28/2018 @ 11:46 pmRe: South Africa
If you read the linked article, the Malema guy using all the wild rhetoric about extermination is not part of the government and was thrown out of the ANC for “hate speech” (against whites) before he started his own fringe party, which only got 6% of the vote in the last elections. So there is an element of theater involved here – the guy is trying to make himself look more important and powerful than he really is by saying outrageous things and attracting media coverage (hmmm, sounds eerily familiar).
Of course, the ANC are not exactly Eisenhower Republicans, and expropriation is their policy as well, but as the governing party, one might hope they have some interest in avoiding total chaos and civil war. Although not exactly Brezhnev-era communists, either, like many communist-influenced parties, the ANC puts a high premium on party discipline and unity; they are unlikely to let this outcast loose cannon call the shots for them.

In an exchange with Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.), Trump seemed to not know what was contained in the bill Toomey proposed with Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) after the 2012 tragedy at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Trump asked whether the bill, which was focused on background checks, would have raised the age limit for buying assault weapons.
When Toomey said it did not, Trump shot back: “You know why? Because you’re afraid of the NRA.”
The rejoinder was especially odd, given that Toomey was one of few Republicans who supported his background checks bill, which failed, over the objections of the NRA. It also happens to confirm the argument Democrats regularly make against Republicans. Trump would later go on to say some of the members in the meeting were “petrified” of the NRA.

Actually, she was trying to protect illegal immigrants mostly NOT like that one.
Armando Nunez Salgado was probably anything but a typical target of that action, and to try to pretend that he is is basically a lie. It seems like the media bought into this, maybe because he was the only arrestee ICE publicized.
But he was actually probably not the worst example (in terms of criminal record) they could have cited. Just the worst one (at least technically by criminal record) of the ones they arrested They don’t want to admit that anyone you coukld argue was dangeorus got away, or that many get away, or aren’t there where they are looking..
Usually when they do a big operation like this – and they do big operations like this for publicity somewhat like the IRS used to do – they get 30% of their targets (according to an anonymous source cited by the New York Times, who was described as an “official briefed on the plans for the operation at the Department of Homeland Security… who was not authorized to discuss the operation.”
She got it down to 20%.
ICE claimed this warning put the lives of the agents in danger. Really? Did they ever have a shootout? Especially with a warning, where all someone needs to do is run away – there won’t be an all points bulletin put out on anyone.
Since Trump came in they have been picking up more incidental cases – people they weren’t targeting.

1. Nikolas Cruz contemplated doing this <i? for months or years, yet he only did it after a long time. Deterrence works. But maybe only up to a point. If someone is willing to give up normal life, it may not, if someone has strong emotions.
2. He could have killed more, but part of his plan was to fire into glass and set up maybe a sniper’s nest on the 3rd floor. It turned out to be hurricane proof glass which was also bulletproof or bullet resistant. Then he had trouble replacing his magazine and/or maybe it jammed and he dropped his weapons and fled.

For me it was Missouri. But no, what I’m saying is how can a company decide to stop selling a legal product to some people who are legally able to buy it but not others? ID’s beside the point because you aren’t going to buy wine, guns or cigarettes without it in almost all cases.
If you sell wedding cakes you have to sell them to everybody. If you sell guns you should have to sell them to everyone who legally fits the criteria. Nobody is making you install a flash suppressor on an AR against your moral objections.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 3/1/2018 @ 3:27 pmOMFG!
What Tom Maguire thinks, according to his tweet, is that Trump conflated hearing to end or extend order with due process. So when Trump said take the guns first, go through due process second, Maguire’s tweet said that Trump didn’t mean due process, that he was confusing due process with the hearing to end or extend the order in the established procedure. So let me try to explain this. It’s tough to follow this when it’s words in a certain order and you can’t see them.
But that’s why I’m here, as a paramount communicator. The procedure now for getting a gun violence restraining order, if that’s what you want to do, you have to go to court and get an order, like the FBI went to the FISA court to spy on Trump. They had the dossier. You gotta go to court and get permission. You have to get a court order, a restraining order against a perp, and then you go get the gun. You go confiscate the gun. Then after you do that, there is a hearing in court to extend or end the court order allowing confiscation.
What Mr. Maguire believes is when Trump said, “Let’s take the guns first and go through due process second,” what he meant was that Trump was just conflating this hearing with due process, that Trump said, “Let’s go grab the gun and then go to court and argue it out.” It’s… (sigh) Well, it’s an attempt to explain it. But it relies on the belief that Trump doesn’t know the difference between a hearing and a court order and due process. What the critics are trying to say here is, “Trump, what are you…? Trump doesn’t care! Trump is an autocrat. Trump is a dictator.
I’ve heard some pretzel logic but never pretzels with choco-nutty frosting!

The week we moved to California we had five days of sunshine, two still memorable days of Pennsylvania-style thunderstorms and attended a doubleheader where the Beach Boys played a free concert between games. Turned to my brother and said, if this is California, no wonder you moved here– the quality of life seems grand. That was 25 years ago and it’s been decidedly down hill ever since.

Texas is no surprise. But Indiana is an excuse to move any place the compass swings. Wretched winters, endless cornfields and anything above street level has a basketball backboard and hoop attached to it (for the benefit of Cruz supporters, that’s what he calls a ‘basketball ring.’) NJ, OTOH, doesn’t deserve the wrap. Revolutionary War country out around Bedminster and Morristown is quite picturesque w/a quality of life even Trump likes. Northeast Jersey does suck; so does Camden, but south of Perth Amboy, South Jersey is truly beautiful, w/better corn than Indiana, tasty Jersey tomatoes and east of the Pinelands, one of the most beautiful coastlines in America with stellar beaches. Every 20 years or so there’s a citizen’s movement to split Jersey into North and South, but as it’s one of the original 13, it never gets much traction.

The mother of a child killed in a car crash allegedly caused by a reckless off-duty police officer was arrested for negligent homicide.
On the night of October 12, 2017, Brittany Stephens lost her child forever after a Chevrolet Corvette driven by Baton Rouge Police Department Officer Christopher Manuel crashed into a Nissan Xterra being driven by Breea Gross.
Inside that Xterra were four adults and four children–including Stephens’ one-year-old baby girl, Seyaira Stephens.
Manuel was off-duty at the time and driving 94 mph. Gross was turning left on a green light when the crash occurred. Manuel’s Corvette knocked Gross’s SUV over upon impact. According to a probable cause report cited by local news station WAFB, the speed limit on that stretch of highway is 50 mph.
On February 16, Manuel was arrested and charged with one count each of negligent homicide and speeding. He posted $15,000 bail on the day of his arrest. Since the incident, Manuel has been on paid administrative leave.
On Tuesday, Stephens, still grieving the loss of child, was arrested by Baton Rouge police and charged with one count each of negligent homicide and a seatbelt violation.
According to Baton Rouge Police spokesperson Sgt. L’Jean McKneely, Stephens was arrested because she “was the person responsible for the buckling of the car seat.” McKneely also noted that the three other adults in the car at the time it was struck were also issued traffic citations, according to The Advocate.

Lenny- family had a place on LBI 30 years, bayside, BH Park area w/DeFrita’s, Tony’s [best meatball subs on the island] the diner and the pancake house on the Blvd., not far from the movie theatre. As kids we got 3 cents/clam at the BH Fishery then they upped it to 5, 7 and eventually it got up to a dime/cherrystone into and past college years. Yes, really great money for the time, wasn’t it- literally like picking up cash off the bottom of the bay– all you needed was a lisc., a wicker basket and inner tube. As you note, labor intensive and tiring work and you clammed by the tide chart– about 4 or 5 hours, tops– but you worked your own hours. And you had to lug them down to the fishery the same day to get them there fresh. Clams casino recipe was Mom’s special and we’d do a block party w/t neighbors when she’d make several trays- we’d pop the little necks on the grill; hot sauce or melted butter– really hit the spot w/cold beer after a long day clam digging. We’d use the feet w/boots or sneakers– the rakes never seemed to be as efficient. The ‘pros’ would be out there clamming in the autumn from their boats right up until the season closed. Yes, really, really good times. Can taste them now.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 3/1/2018 @ 7:42 pmYeah, we used our wet suit booties too. When you found the spiral beds you were half way home, but still hard work.

Lenny, we used a 12 ft., aluminum boat w/a Johnson outboard and just hauled them back to home, sorted along the bulkhead, did a count and put them in the onion bags then drove them down to BH. It was that up-and-down for hours on end that got so tiring but when the guy would take the count and hand over the cash it was worth it.

Sheriff’s deputies in Southern California this week rescued three children who were living inside a plywood box on a trash-strewn desert property without running water or electricity, the authorities said on Thursday.
The deputies were patrolling a remote part of San Bernardino County near the city of Joshua Tree on Wednesday morning when they spotted a sandy property filled with mounds of garbage, boxes and toys. When they entered the site to take a closer look, the deputies found the children — ages 11, 13 and 14 — wandering the property near piles of human feces and trash, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

Yes. We don’t know.
He probably did not expect it to go off, and he certainly did not expect to kill or injure anyone judging by the way he ran after it fired.
He claims he found the gun, which is possible if it was left by one person or group to be picked up by another (handed over that way because posession of the weapon was illegal by one or the other party ]or both] in San Francisco. In this scenario, he found it first.
