Nearly 90,000 Dangerous Illegal Immigrants Go Free: Under Obama administration policies, almost 90,000 illegal immigrants deemed "criminal threats" were released from custody last fiscal year instead of facing deportation, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data. Caroline May of Breitbart reports that ICE reportedly encountered 152,393 criminal aliens in FY 2015 but only charged 64,116 with immigration violations, while another 88,000 were not placed in deportation proceedings. Over 347,000 convicted illegal immigrants were at large in the U.S. as of March 2015, and as of Sept. 2015, 918,369 with final deportation orders remained in the country.
Border Patrol Bases have Broken Cameras, Open Gate: A federal report found that multiple U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bases along the U.S.-Mexico border have inoperable security cameras and the security gate is being left open on at least one of the bases, increasing the risk of a security breach. Kellan Howell of the Washington Times reports that regional agency officials asked the CBP's Facilities Management and Engineering division back in Jan. 2013 to repair the broken security cameras and requested an upgrade from a manual gate to an electronic one, neither of which has been fulfilled. The CBP bases are located in dangerous areas along the southern border that see high levels of illegal border cross activity involving aliens and narcotics.
MI Gunman Picked Up Uber Fares Between Shootings: Several witnesses have come forward describing car trips with the Uber driver accused of randomly gunning down six people and critically wounded two on Saturday night in Kalamazoo, Mich., their testimony suggesting that the gunman was picking up fares in between shootings. Fox News reports that at around 4:30 p.m., a little over an hour before the shooting spree began, Jason Dalton picked up a man and drove so erratically that the man ran from the vehicle once it came to a stop and called to report Dalton to both the police and Uber. Dalton gave another man a ride around 8 p.m., just before he fatally gunned down a father and son at a car dealership and four women outside of a restaurant. Around midnight, four people hailed an Uber after word of the shootings spread and were picked up by Dalton, who they say "seemed to be aware of the news about an active shooter." Dalton was arrested without incident not long after dropping the group of four off at their hotel. He is charged with six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Death Penalty Upheld for CA Murderer: The California Supreme Court unanimously upheld the death sentence last Thursday for a condemned San Jose man who carried out three separate murders in 1986 and 1987. Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News reports that James Francis O'Malley, a former member of the Freedom Riders bikers' club, was sentenced to die in 1991 for three slayings that were so gruesome, the jury was later given group counseling to cope with the trial evidence they saw. Though his appellate arguments, including prosecutor misconduct and alleged racial bias, were rejected, he still has further appeals in the state Supreme Court and federal courts and is still many years away from receiving a potential execution date.
