Gangland.

Newsom’s gruesome toll.

Jamiel Shaw: Yet another victim of illegal alien catch and release.

Diversity: Norteños, Sureños, Loc Town Crips…

Neighborhood cleansing, L.A.-style.

“They cut my niece’s face off,” said John McClain, who is Hightower’s great-uncle, and the chaplain of the Newark Police Department. “They cut her from cheek to cheek. They left her head hanging.”

Slamming sanctuary.

There have been more arrests in the Newark execution murders. Guess where they were headed? Geraldo thinks it’s “irrelevant.” Law enforcement officials, fortunately, took the suspects’ criminal alien status quite seriously:
Authorities arrested two more suspects Saturday in the slayings of three college students who were shot execution-style in a schoolyard, bringing the total number [...]

Catch and release = More dead bodies.

Update: Outrageous anti-police smear campaign launched by California Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez: “Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, who represents the park district, said police deliberately led troublemakers back to the peaceful marchers before beginning their assault.‘The only logical conclusion I can come to is that somebody wanted it to bleed into the march [...]

***bumped to the top…LA school officials will join students in walkout, LATimes reports: “[I]f students walk out, school officials plan to march with them — walkie-talkies and cellphones in hand — to help protect them. In addition, buses will be on call to take students back to their respective schools after the march is over, [...]

See if you can get through this Washington Post sob story about 100 illegal alien criminals being deported without getting your eyeballs stuck in your head from rolling them upwards repeatedly. Don’t miss the multimedia slideshow full of poor, shackled deportees…with MS-13 gang tattoos!:

Hard for me to decide which takes the cake–the reporter’s failure to [...]

Getting lots of alarmed e-mails asking about beheadings at the southern border and why they’re not being reported. Some readers are claiming the murder victims were US Border Patrol agents. Wrong. Others are attacking the media for ignoring it. Terrible crimes, no question. But there’s no cover-up. Here’s the story. Here’s more. Q&O blogger [...]

I’ve reported before on the illegal alien gang MS-13’s past threats against American law enforcement officers. Now, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin reports on a new threat on Border Patrol agents:
Mexican alien smugglers plan to pay violent gang members and smuggle them into the United States to murder Border Patrol agents, according to a [...]

The White House is webcasting the President’s speech paying lip service to immigration enforcement now.
Liveblogging…
Most ridiculous line so far: Introducing his temporary “guest worker” plan by saying we need to “bring workers out of the shadows and reject amnesty.”
More tough talk: Those who enter our country illegally violate the law. To keep the promise of [...]

Just a quick break from Katrina blogging to point you to my latest column on the continuing spread of MS-13 in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and across the country. An excerpt:
The peaceful suburbs of Washington, D.C., are beginning to look and feel like East Los Angeles. The violent illegal alien gang Mara Salvatrucha [...]

Via AP, here’s what’s going down in my home county (Montgomery County, Md.):
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) – Nineteen men were charged in a federal racketeering indictment that accuses them of killings and other violent crimes as members of the MS-13 gang.
The indictments released Thursday say the men committed shootings, kidnappings and other gang-related crimes from April [...]

This blog turned one last week! (BTW: Congrats to Karol at Alarming News, which turned the Big 3 today.)
First, some blogiversary expressions of gratitude:
Special thanks to the following people for their warm welcomes, words of advice/encouragement, and early links during mm.com’s incipient days: John, Paul, and Scott at Power Line, John Hawkins at Right Wing [...]

On Saturday afternoon, I drove to Rockville, Md., for a large “gathering to condemn the REAL ID Act.” (The act will tighten driver’s license standards to prevent illegal aliens from obtaining the IDs, close asylum loopholes, and provide funding to fix a huge gap in a border fence between California and Mexico.) Casa de Maryland, [...]

Latest edition over at The Immigration Blog. Read it and weep.

The MSM has moved on from the Brian Nichols story, but courthouse insecurity remains a problem. Diggers’ Realm has the story of an alleged MS-13 member who slashed his female public attorney with a smuggled razor during his murder trial yesterday.
According to the L.A. Daily News, criminal defendants at the L.A. courthouse–even those classified as [...]

A new immigration enforcement sweep in New York nets 20 illegal alien gang members. From AP:
Federal agents have 20 Long Island gang members in custody who are in the country illegally as part of a large scale, nationwide gang violence sweep. Authorities said the suspects are primarily members of the MS-13 gang that had been [...]

First Lady Laura Bush is leading a warm-and-fuzzy youth initiative to discourage young boys and men from joining gangs.
But as I report in my new column today, it’s going to take a hell of a lot more than Kodak photo-ops to combat the criminal alien gang problem spreading across the country:
With all due respect [...]

On top of its al Qaeda problem and its MS-13 problem, Boston has another headache: anarchists.
The Boston Herald reports:
Local Joint Terrorist Task Force investigators are keeping close tabs on a group of anarchists hellbent on creating a classless society – using armed resistance if necessary, the Herald has learned.
Anarchist Black Cross Federation, an organization that [...]

I’m continuing to track Mara Salvatrucha/MS-13, the violent illegal alien gang that has spread from El Salvador to Honduras to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and across the heartland. The latest arrest involves an illegal alien MS-13 member in Texas wanted for masterminding a shocking bus attack in Honduras in December that claimed the lives of [...]

There are a few new items to report on the rise of Mara Salvatrucha, the brutal illegal alien gang that we’re keeping an eye on here.
- Boston’s city council president is concerned about the gang/terrorist threat posed to tankers in East Boston.
-Somerville, Mass., police nabbed a reputed MS-13 member suspected of stabbing a man through [...]

A Boston city councilman is planning to submit an anti-loitering bill aimed at kicking MS-13 gang members out of Maverick Square, the Boston Herald reports this morning. The councilman, Paul Scalpicchio, said the proposal was prompted by the possibility that MS-13 gangsters could be linked to al-Qaeda. Background on MS-13 here and here.

In my year-end column, I spotlighted the rise of MS-13, the violent El Salvadoran gang and predicted on the blog that “you’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more of this savage criminal enterprise in the year to come.”
Yesterday, the Boston Herald ran a much-buzzed-about story on…MS-13 in East Boston.
Today, the Herald has a [...]

My column today recounts the good, the bad, and the ugly on the borders and in the air in 2004.
The first item I mention is the rise of MS-13, which I want to touch on a bit more extensively here. I think this El Salvador-based gang’s ascendance was one of the underreported stories of the [...]

The Washington Times reports on an alleged meeting between suspected al Qaeda operative Adnan Shukrijumah and the savage El Salvador-based gang, Mara Salvatrucha:
A top al Qaeda lieutenant has met with leaders of a violent Salvadoran criminal gang with roots in Mexico and the United States — including a stronghold in the Washington area — in [...]
