Murderer Suspect Escapes FL Courthouse: A Florida murder suspect facing the death penalty escaped the Broward County Courthouse Friday morning, and an intensive manhunt is underway. David J. Neal and Amy Sherman of the Miami Herald report that Dayonte Resiles, 21, escaped the courthouse after being brought there from jail for a hearing on a defense motion to remove the death penalty as a sentencing option. Resiles is charged with first-degree murder in the home invasion killing of Jill Su, who was found with her hands and feet bound and fatally stabbed in her home in September 2014. Resiles is also being prosecuted on five different felony cases in the county, involving burglary, grand theft and weapons possession.
Countries Refusing to Take Back Illegals May Face Aid Cuts: Republicans and Democrats were unified in anger on Thursday at the Obama administration's lax immigration policies, demanding that the State Department punish countries that refuse to repatriate their citizens living in the U.S. illegally. Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that Republicans demanded that the State Department strip visas from the 23 most recalcitrant countries, and Democrats suggested that Congress cancel foreign aid to any county that refuses to cooperate with U.S. deportations. A section of U.S. immigration law would allow officials to withhold visas from countries deemed uncooperative, a penalty which has been used only once against Guyana in 2001. The State Department said that DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson is responsible for making an official request to withhold visas, but he has yet to make any. A Connecticut case last year brought the issue to the forefront, when Haiti refused to take back attempted murderer Jean Jacques, who was subsequently released from custody and went on to murder a young woman months later. Since 2013, 86,288 criminal aliens have been released into U.S. communities.
