[](/sites/default/files/uploads/2014/10/B0wEE1lIUAA0uw0.jpg)The Obama administration is unleashing thousands of violent criminal aliens, a purely political move according to some law enforcement officials. A recent murder spree in California’s capital region shows what this release of violent criminal aliens could mean for the American public.
On Friday, October 24, a man identified as Marcelo Marquez deployed an AR-15 rifle and shot down Sacramento sheriff’s deputy Danny Oliver, 47, who later died. Marquez and a woman identified as his wife, Janelle Marquez Monroy, then shot a man who refused to surrender his car keys. The couple then hijacked another car and Marquez later that day shot and killed detective Michael Davis, 42, and wounded deputy Jeff Davis. The killer took refuge in a home but by late afternoon police arrested him.
“Gun rampage kills two deputies in Sacramento region,” read the headline in the Sacramento Bee. That might have puzzled those who had participated in the manhunt, along with relatives of the victims. They knew it had not been a “gun” on the rampage. Rather, it was a violent criminal who used a gun to commit two murders. In early reporting not much emerged on the shooter, who despite the Marquez surname was not even described as “Hispanic” or “Latino.” But by the next day, one reality was evident.
“Feds say Sacramento shooting suspect was deported twice, had drug conviction,” proclaimed the front page of the Sacramento Bee. So he was a criminal foreign national who had entered the country illegally. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) put out a statement that Marcelo Marquez was actually Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte, a Mexican national with tattoos reading “Mexican Pride” and “Sinaloa.” He was deported in 1997 on narcotics charges. After Monroy-Bracamonte entered the United States illegally a second time, U.S. authorities arrested him and deported the criminal to Mexico in 2001. It did not emerge how or when he entered the United States the third time but he may have used another false identity, Julian Beltran. It was not clear what violent crimes he may have committed, other than the murders of Danny Oliver and Michael Davis.
ICE wants Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte handed over to the feds but local authorities seem intent on prosecution on their own turf. As another California multiple murder case shows, those looking for justice in local courts may be disappointed.
In February 2011, Saul Isidro-Aucencio and Francisco Delgado gunned down Robert Corpos, 20, Richard Ward, 16, and Jamir Miller, 15. The assailants shot Miller, an African American, in the back of the head with an AK-47. No local journalist disclosed that Delgado and Isidro-Aucencio were in fact Mexican nationals in the country illegally. Had the pair committed other crimes? Had they ever been deported? Had they ever attempted to vote in an American election? Nobody in the local media seemed at all curious, and the courts offered more obfuscation.
In one hearing Melissa Jellison, Jamir Miller’s mother, expressed anger that her son’s killers were in the country illegally. She got no sympathy from Superior Court judge Helene Gweon, a Schwarzenegger appointee and Harvard Law School alum. “This case,” Gweon told the grieving mother, “has nothing to do with illegal aliens.” That smackdown showed the kind of cognitive dissonance not normally found in a judge but common in the Obama administration.
Five years ago Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan gunned down 13 American soldiers and wounded more than 30 at Fort Hood. The federal government called this “workplace violence,” declining even to call it gun violence. The lives of American soldiers and diplomats – as in Benghazi – are also of secondary concern to the president, so ignoring the murder of two California police officers should be no problem.
So it’s not a stretch that in federal custody Monroy-Bracamonte could be released yet again. If deported, the violent criminal seems to have little trouble crossing America’s southern border, which the Obama administration is now encouraging foreign nationals to do, en masse.
Some will come in search of a better life and pose no threat to anyone. Others will be violent criminals like Saul Isidro-Aucencio, Francisco Delgado and Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte. They know they can take American lives, including those of police officers, and preserve their own. They know they can expect preferential treatment by politically correct media, lenient courts, and a federal government bent on releasing criminal aliens for political purposes.
These dynamics will make the nation a more dangerous place. One could hardly blame American law enforcement officers if they take down the next cop killer with a clean head shot.
