124 Released Illegals Charged in 135 Homicides: A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies released Monday reveals that 124 illegal immigrants released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2010 and 2015 were later charged with a total of 135 homicide-related crimes. Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that two of the 124 immigrants had previously been convicted of homicide before being released by ICE and committing another homicide, while the others had amassed 464 total criminal charges ranging from drunken driving to drugs, before being freed from jail and charge with homicide. The data reaffirms ICE's "dangerous practices," showing that over 156 illegal immigrants with criminal records, averaging 11 crimes a person, were released from ICE custody at least twice. The names of the criminal aliens included in the report have been redacted by the Judiciary Committee.
Officer Dead in Shooting near MD Police Station: A Maryland police officer was ambushed and fatally shot outside a police station Sunday afternoon. Jason Silverstein of the NY Daily News reports that Prince George County Police Officer Jacai Colson, a four-year veteran of the force, was shot and killed in an alleged failed attempt at a filmed suicide by cop involving three brothers, Malik and Michael Ford and a third, unidentified brother, who were all taken into custody. One of the suspects was shot and wounded after exchanging gunfire with officers but is expected to survive. The role of each of the brothers is unclear at this point in the investigation and none of them have been formally charged.
NYC Mayor Blames Slashing Spike on Gun Control: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's claim made earlier this month that the explosion in random slashing attacks this year is because criminals can't access firearms is being met with skepticism from law enforcement experts. Maxim Lott of Fox News reports that many law enforcement experts believe that the increase in slashings, which are occurring on the subway and at tourist attractions, are due to de Blasio's decision to end NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy, in which officers stop people based on suspicion and frisk them for weapons and other illegal items. As a result, "criminals know they can carry knives like they did back in the 1980s." A total of 567 random slashing attacks have occurred since the start of the year, about a 20% spike compared to the first three months of 2015.
Yolo Officials Report Continued Problems under Prop 47: In March 2015, Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig told the Board of Supervisors that California's Proposition 47, which reduced certain felonies to misdemeanors, had produced a "revolving door of low-level arrests." One year later, Reisig again stood before the supervisors and echoed the same sentiments. Anne Ternus-Bellamy of the David Enterprise reports that last Tuesday, Reisig shared that rates of both violent and property crimes continue to rise throughout the county, and Chief Probation Officer Brent Cardall agrees that "Prop. 47 has not been good." Cardall revealed that of the 295 active Prop. 47 cases in his department, 40% are in violation, 65 total offenders have never shown up at the Probation Department as ordered, and 52 total have committed new offenses. A mere eight offenders have graduated from treatment. Reisig and Cardall believe that there is a lack of "a stick" to sway offenders towards treatment and no incentive to stay in it if they do choose it.
