Another deportation abyss horror story, more ICE non-enforcement
Catch, release, repeat.
Seems like I just wrote about our busted deportation system a week ago. And then again a few days ago.
And now this:
The KING 5 Investigators have learned that an illegal immigrant accused of raping a woman in Edmonds Sunday has been deported nine times. That’s much more than previously reported.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement won’t comment on the case of Jose Lopez Madrigal. But KING 5 got the information through confidential sources and documents.
Larry Klein was the man who heard the alleged victim’s cries for help.
…Klein called police, who quickly arrested the suspect. But learning his identity took much longer because of some 30 aliases. It was only through fingerprints that they identified him as Madrigal, a Mexican citizen.
Madrigal’s arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989. That’s the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California. He was deported a couple of times after that. Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco. Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August. He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000. In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again. And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times.
People who live near the scene of Sunday’s alleged rape wonder how it could keep happening.
How could it keep happening? Duh. Catch-and-release remains the order of the day. (See here, here, here, and here, for example). And as every savvy immigration lawyer who has gamed the deportation abyss knows:
“It ain’t over ’til the alien wins.”
Jihadists know it.
The open-borders racket knows it.
Prosecutors know it.
And the Obama administration knows it.
ICE chief John Morton’s suggestion that the feds may refuse to process illegal aliens reported by the state of Arizona is simply a validation of the feds’ longstanding policy of selective, politicized non-enforcement.
For further proof, take a look at the little-noticed ICE website unveiled last week with new policy changes and summaries of the major “detention reforms and accomplishments of the last year.” Click on the link and you’ll find that five of the seven new policies that Morton touts as “accomplishments” involve not enforcing immigration law by making it harder to arrest them, catching-and-releasing them, or creating new loopholes for avoiding detention and deportation.
What part of Article IV, Section IV of the U.S. Constitution don’t these people understand?
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

The government may not be on the job this early, Michelle. But, we are all grateful that YOU are!
A few states have a “Three Strikes and You’re Out” law. How about one for illegal aliens (aka foreign invaders) called “Three Outs and You’re Dead”?
The sixty four million dollar question is without the Mexican gubmints willingness to keep it’s citizens in Mexico, we can deport until hell freezes over and they will keep coming back and robbing, raping, and pillaging. Why is it that we describe police as profiling when they are in HIGH CRIME areas, aka black and brown ghettos, and arrest criminals? This is reminiscent of the old quip from the bank robber “why do you keep robbing banks? Because that’s where the money is.” Why do the police patrol our minority ghettos heavily, because that’s where the crime is! Al Sharpton met in Chicago at the little girl’s funeral, but the question is, did the federales FIND the murder suspect they were looking for in the apartment. If so, then the people in the apartment are to blame for letting a murderer into their home. To me it’s the same in Afghanistan, you live with the taliban, you are the taliban and you are the enemy.
I have one piece of advice for that woman:
“Ya can’t rape a .38!”
But, But, but they are just here doing the jobs Americans do not want to do. /SARC/
Good thing he wasn’t arrested in AZ. ICE might not have been interested.
Sounds to me like instead of doing time in prison we just sent this guy back for another dozen attempts. Did he do any serious time before being deported? Unless we seal the border, he’ll keep coming back again and again, or until we put a permanent stop to him (see above, “You can’t rape a .38″).
And what do you s’pose Mexico would have done with an American behaving similarly?
Madrigal, a Mexican citizen: “Ain’t America great? I cross the border illegally, rape, murder, steal and do whatever I want. When caught, I get 3 meals a day and a place to sleep until they send me home to visit my family. I call that a paid vacation. When I’m ready, I repeat the process. Ain’t America great? Thank you Senor Obama. Oh, by the way, have you any ICE for my margarita?”
I still wonder, who’s homeland, is DHS protecting? It sure as hell isn’t ours. But then with the possibility of an illegal alien in the White House could be the answer.
Just another poor immigrant doing the crimes that Americans refuse to do.
That seems a little harsh. I suggest castration before deportation.
The primary responsibility of the U.S. government is to protect the territorial integrity and people of this country. They have completely abdicated this responsibility. Both parties have been complicit in this. We are being told it is not possible to control our borders, enforce our laws, and thereby control our destiny as a nation. Hogwash. We are being sold out by corporations intent on importing workers for jobs that can’t be exported with the taxpayers paying the true costs, financial and human. If we act like sheep and don’t stop the inundation across our borders, we will lose our country without a bleat.
That’s funny!! I always enjoy your posts!
And by what right do the authorities have in arresting him for rape? We tell all the world to obey the laws you feel good about, ignore the rest, If It Feels Good Do It, let us be culturally aware. We can not deport all the illegals here so let’s do nothing. The women who are raped, the people killed, robbed, homes and jobs destroyed will just have to realized it is a cultural thing. Sadly that Cultural Thing is more Yanqui than Mexican; Jose Lopez Madriga would not do well doing this in Mexico.
Jose Lopez Madriga is very much a monster of our own creation.

Ladies: We do not live in the Sudan-learn to use a side arm as you are so very often on your own.
In defence of ICE…Not only are the Hopey-Dopeys making no effort to secure the border, they actually want to open it.
If I’m an ICE agent, and have already deported a guy 9 times – at what point am I going to say, “What’s the point?”
This is so common one must infer that it is now government policy to ignore the statute. This is absolutely grounds for termination of civil service employment (managers) and certainly impeachment of the elected politicans in chairs of responsibility. i.e. Obama.
Get on with it. Time’s a wastin’…
Bullet to the back of the head, roadside ditch. Next. Por favor.
We need to send Madrigal back to Mexico minus his “package” which we will keep on hand for evidence. Let’s see how macho this clown is the next time he has to sit in order to pee.
How about a fence like this one:
http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/100524-SK-dmz-vlrg-2a.widec.jpg
As long as ICE’s policies garner votes, the politicians don’t care how many murders and rapes there are.
I can see November from my house.
The Bouncing Betty mines on the other side of that fence are even better.

Re: Chicago – The fact the perp was in the house has been under reported. You are correct, there would have been no police presence had they not harbored the guy.
And still, they use the term ‘alleged’.
Welcome friends, back to the beginning of the circle.
Well maybe you can, but just don’t expect the same kind of happy ending.
There is enough evidence of willful neglect, that this woman should be able to successfully sue the Feedaeral Government. This is totally
unaccepatble. ICE Chief John Morton should be in jail for his complicity.
Quick clarification Michelle, was this guy actually deported 9 times or was he ordered departed 9 times?
Either way it shows that the system is broken, I am just curious if it is due to the catch and release program or due to the lack of securing the border.
And those RoK soldiers would make FINE Border Guards: I really doubt any undocumented guests would shoot or throw rocks at them a second time.
When a RoK unit came into an area in South Vietnam, the VC would generally just leave. They were not stupid.
The vietcong and NVA knew not to mess with RoKs. Mexicans would be a cool diet Coke by comparison.
I suppose it is too late to consider the Kennedys Undesirable Aliens. Undesirable Resident Fools will have to do.
I’m curious, where was that photo taken?
Also noteworthy that without the soldiers, you’re past that fence in about 60 seconds with a wire cutter, no.
A fence of any kind without resolve to enforce it is useless. Kind of like Patton’s observation: “Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.” – I believe in reference to the “Maginot Line” French border defence.
Sorry tiredofit, thought Flyman posted the pic. Still curious where it was taken.
Shouldn’t California, San Francisco, L.A., China, or the U.N. condemn this type of thing?
With 9 deportations, the poor Guy has had his human rights serially violated. Attorney General Eric holder needs to look into this.
That is the fence along the DMZ in Korea. The North has a similar fence on their side with mines etc. in the middle of the DMZ.
In terms of breaching the fence, a fence is an obstacle. In the military you are taught that all obstacles must be covered by observation and/or fire. Besides the fence you can be assured there are other anti-instrusion devices to include UGS (unattended ground sensors, cameras, motion detectors, as well as humans in observation posts.
The North Korean response to this fence has been to tunel under it.
He has not read the law either, obviously.
Flyoverman–Kennedy hasn’t read the Constitution either.
ROTFLMAO spaceycakes.
Hey, what’s the big deal? The illegals are just committing the crimes Americans won’t…
I know one can’t ordinarily bring legal action against government officials when they do their jobs. But it seems that some legal action should be possible when government officials REFUSE TO PERFORM THEIR LEGAL DUTIES AND KNOWINGLY REFUSE TO UPHOLD THE LAW!
Can’t we get someone like Landmark Legal Foundation to look into this? I don’t have the freedom to pick and choose which federal laws apply to me. They don’t either!
Patton was referring to the West Wall. However, his observation was incorrect IMHO. Look at Verdun, WWI’s western front in general, Vicksburg, Leningrad, etc. If the fortification is taken at all, it is hugely costly to take if one cannot bypass or besiege it.
However, the invasion we are suffering from is not principly a military one. That our government, a supposed “superpower”, can’t defend its own borders or are unwilling to is an outrage.
Patton was particularly wrong about fixed fortifications. Review his campaign in Alsace-Lorraine in the autumn of 1944. It took him weeks and thousands of casualties to take the fortifications around Metz and those were pretty old forts by 1944.
But the problem isn’t that we can’t protect our borders. The central government refuses to protect the borders and they actively work to prevent others from doing so to!
This is the point I was making – perhaps Patton was not the right analogy – though a case could be made that recent weapons technology has made it more valid. Still, a fence with no resolve to enforce it is not the answer.
I learned a tough lesson in second grade. When you draw a line in the sand and double-dare someone to cross it – you’d better be willing and able to make it stick. Better?
Just wondering. How many people here still defend NAFTA? The refusal of our government to enforce the borders is part of the deal. NAFTA is about erasing borders.
I have noticed recently that every time NAFTA is brought up, Republicans always support it and will even attack their opponent for not supporting it.
Our politicians are still relying on “messaging” in lieu of taking coherent stands on specific principles. For instance, what ever happened to “Repeal Obamacare!”? Did it not bother anyone that Paul Ryan himself equivocated the very next day after vowing to see it repealed? The move died that day. Yet today’s polls tell us that 64% of Americans want to see it repealed.
The Stupid Party.
John Morton, Asst.Secy for Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be fired. Every state AG should demand his removal!
In Missouri, the police will testify that in case after case, illegals, some previously deported, are put in jail. Then, ICE is contacted and the police officers are told to “let them go, or the town is too far away for ICE to drive out and pick them up” or any other excuse for NOT doing their job to protect the citizens.
The “chasm” between local law enforcement and the Fed Govt ICE Dept. is one of the MAJOR reasons why the American citizens and police officers are frustrated and more importantly in constant DANGER!
Call your Congressmen and DEMAND that ICE back-up every single desperate call from communities for immediate action to remove criminal illegals! jb
I am for “free trade” as long as “free trade” is “fair trade.” To date, American seems to have been out-maneuvered on both “free” and “fair.” NAFTA is neither and we are getting suckered at every turn. Until we can have “free and fair trade” we need to rethink NAFTA.
NAFTA is a mixed bag and as implemented has almost certainly been more negative than positive. And it really hasn’t helped Mexico from becoming an unstable NARCO-state.
It is definitely time to rethink NAFTA…
NAFTA,FTAA, CAFTA and the rest of the so called free trade treaties are nothing but unconstitutional agreements that are destroying our jobs and economy.
When Europe imposes a 15 percent value-added tax on U.S. imports and rebates the VAT on exports to the United States, that is not free trade. When China devalues its currency 45 percent, as it did in 1994, and bolts it down to suck jobs and factories out of the United States, that is not free trade. When Japan manipulates its currency, preaches economic nationalism to its people, and shelters its market for TVs, autos and steel, while dumping into and capturing ours, that is not free trade. One in every six manufacturing jobs, 3 million, are gone just under the Bush administration.
Not only should these treaties be abolished, we need to get out of the unconstitutional United Nations.
How much more evidence do we need that Congress is systematically destroying the middle class for a NWO?
Anyone with an MS-13 tattoo should be shot and buried in a landfill. That would end that. (it would also free up some prison space)
So right Scottydog, We are being gutted as a nation to secure the world of thugs, tyrrants, and (_*_)s. We have spent ourself into bankruptcy protecting a worthless socialist Europe, fighting a TOTALLY WORTHLESS AND FECKLESS UN’s wars which have to be fought while simultaneously building an infrastructure never before known in these s***holes. We have to accept illegal slugs from the world over coming here and bankrupting our schools, hospitals, jails, and welfare system. And Gov Patrick of Mass says the GOP is guilty of sedition for opposing Obama’s socialist policies. Obama and his whole admin is guilty of sedition in my book for NOT protecting this country when he swore he would.
We as Americans must be very concerned by the contents of the link to ICE policy reform & how it benefits and REWARDS illegal immigrants releasing them onto our streets. The time is NOW to protest daily against illegal immigrants. Because yesterday the illegals did the “grunt work” and stole American jobs… now that they are stealing our education funds they’ll be stealing our blue collar jobs too!
I have nothing against immigrants my wife followed the rules and got all of her documentation in order before starting her studies…. and there is a large LEGAL immigrant community that wants the moochers to all be deported.
…with a cheese grater.
Concealed carry for everyone. Take a class and learn to use it. Do NOT hesitate.
