Illegal Immigrants Charged in Rape, Beating:  Four illegal immigrants from Guatemala are facing rape and other charges in an attack on a Massachusetts woman and her boyfriend earlier this month.  Fox News reports that on March 13, brothers Elmer Diaz, Ariel Diaz and Adan Diaz along with another man, Marlon Josue Jarquin-Felipe, approached the woman and her boyfriend while they were walking on the street, then grabbed the woman and carried her into an apartment while physically detaining the man.  The boyfriend broke free and fought with the kidnappers, eventually smashing a beer bottle on Ariel's head and escaping with his girlfriend. Both Adan and Ariel had been recently arrested for drunken driving, Ariel in December and Adan last month, but immigration officials claim they were never made aware of either being in custody.  Ariel and Jarquin-Felipe were both deported in 2014 but returned to the U.S. undetected.  At this time, federal immigration officials have requested detainers on all four men.

Police Officers Call Out Obama's Silence on Slain Cops:  Law enforcement officers around the nation are calling out President Obama for having "done little to signal his regret" for this year's 300% increase in shooting deaths of police officers.  Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner reports that Carroll County, Md., Sheriff James T. DeWees wrote an open letter on Facebook to the Obama administration for ignoring the increased violence against police officers and condemning "a White House that remains silent about the uptick in deaths which ultimately gives [police officers] the perception that it's condoned."  What's more, Obama is "quick to speak out against those killed by police, often rallying anti-police groups."  So far this year, 26 cops have been killed around the country.  On Monday morning, a New Jersey officer was found shot to death in his car, and an Indiana sheriff's deputy was killed Sunday while serving a warrant.

DHS has 'no intention' of Deporting Illegals:  A top Homeland Security official says that the Obama administration has "no intention" of deporting illegal immigrants flooding across the southern border, ordering instead to release them so they don't backlog the courts.  Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, testified before Congress that the order is part of a new "catch and release" policy and also includes orders to border agents to refrain from interviewing the illegal immigrant children still surging at the border in crisis-level numbers.  For several year now, immigration officials have criticized President Obama's policies they say have tied their hands and forced them to release illegal immigrants who should have been easy deportation cases.
