More on Dem pols refusing to honor detainers of illegal aliens even if charged with first-degree murder
This past May cops in Maryland found the body of 14-year-old Ariana Funes-Diaz in a creek. Three people were arrested for her murder--including two alleged
MS-13 members.
The three arrested were Joel Escobar, 17, Josue Fuentes-Ponce, 16, and Cynthia Hernandez-Nucamendi, 14. They were charged as adults with first-degree murder.
According to Maj. Brian Reilly of the Prince George’s County police, the three, as well as the murder victim, were involved in an unspecified crime a month earlier.
The next day, Reilly said, the three discussed their fear that the eventual murder victim might tell police about the crime so they killed her with a baseball bat and a machete.
Reilly said the two males were members of MS-13.
Now to this point we have a two MS-13 males--17 and 16--who killed a 14-year-old girl with a machete and baseball bat to prevent her from ratting them out for another crime. In other words, it's yet another day ending in "Y." I'm posting about this to show you how utterly, irredeemably corrupt Democrat-ruled cities, states and counties are, because of what happened after the killers were caught and charged with first-degree murder.
The problem is that Democrat politicians have barred law enforcement in their states from cooperating with ICE. In this case two different agencies in Maryland released the two MS-13 killers (which the local TV station sympathetically described as "teenagers") from custody despite ICE filing a detainer request on the two.
As noted earlier, the two had been arrested by the Prince George’s County police in May 2018 on charges of first-degree murder. But instead of being jailed the two were moved to a "state-run youth detention center" a few days after their arrest.
The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. (Can't find whether he was ever tried for the murder.) He spent 10 months at the youth detention center and in March of 2019 was taken back to the Prince George’s County jail, where he was immediately released to a family member.
This is significant because the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections originally said the 17-year-old was not in county custody at the time of his release. That is, no one wanted to admit they let the guy go after just 10 months, when he'd been charged with murdering a 14-year-old girl.
The Department of Corrections refused to honor the detainer from ICE. A DOC spokesman claimed this was due to a memo from State Attorney-General Brian Frosh. Frosh’s memo says “compliance with ICE detainers is voluntary,” but immediately warns that “law enforcement officials are potentially exposed to liability if they hold someone beyond his or her State-law release date without a judicial warrant or probable cause that the detainee has committed a crime.” Apparently Frosh doesn't consider illegally entering the U.S. to be a "crime."
So although the state's top law-enforcement official--Frosh--literally says "compliance with ICE detainers is voluntary," he adds an unmistakeable warning that no one could miss. He then goes on to note that “Federal law does not require any local government agency or law enforcement officer to communicate with federal immigration authorities.”
Those two comments make it clear that the Democrat-ruled state will view cooperation with ICE very harshly.
The governor's office declined to comment on the handling of the detainers or Frosh’s guidance to law enforcement officers on whether to cooperate with ICE detainer requests.
