One of the refrains we hear from those who support illegal aliens is that they are fine with the “good ones” but not the criminal ones. In practice, though, the supporters and sanctuary jurisdictions look to protect all illegals. Like this upstanding one
(Oregon Live) Federal immigration agents lodged a detainer in December 2016 against the man accused of attacking two women in Northeast Portland this week, officials said.
When Sergio Jose Martinez was held in the Multnomah County Jail on Dec. 7, 2016, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requested local authorities notify the agency prior to releasing him, spokeswoman Virginia Kice said in a statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive on Friday.
Martinez has been deported 20 times, according to Multnomah County court documents. He has a lengthy criminal record that includes several convictions in Oregon and burglary convictions in other states, according to court documents and the immigration agency.
Local authorities released Martinez on Dec. 8, 2016 without notifying immigration authorities, Kice said.
Oregon law prohibits public agencies from spending money, using equipment or enlisting personnel to enforce federal immigration law.
Martinez would qualify as one of the “bad ones”, wouldn’t you think? In this case, ICE was not even asking for a hold, just a heads up for when he would be released so they could come get him. Is it really so burdensome to place a call or send an email?
Martinez is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her Northeast Portland home on Monday morning, then stealing her credit cards and car. Police say he attacked another woman in a parking garage later that day.
He is charged with several crimes including first-degree robbery, sex abuse and robbery and second-degree assault.
These crimes are on the heads of Sheriff Mike Reese and the people who passed the Oregon law. Do they require that personnel, money, and equipment cannot be used to enforce other federal laws, such as kidnapping? No. If interim ICE Director Thomas Homan wants to look to charge people for violations of immigration law, here’s a good place to start. There are many statutes broken, and many parts of the statutes, such as in 8 US 1324, that were broken by the jail and the lawmakers who passed the law that disallows cooperation with federal law.

Unfortunately, Sheriff Reese could not have called the feds: to have done so would have broken the law, since even just using the phone to call and notify ICE of Mr Martinez impending release would have been “using equipment.” I suppose that the Sheriff could have called the feds using a personal cell phone, on private property, but if he even used public equipment, such as a computer to look up the number, he’d have broken the law.
It’s a lot to expect rape victims to come forward and make their assaults public, but Mr Martinez victim needs to step forward, go before the Oregon legislature and say, forcefully and loudly, that she was raped because of their actions.
That’s the part that the left cannot withstand: they were responsible, as accessories before the fact, for her rape!
Another person who bears responsibility: Barack Hussein Obama! If Mr Martinez had been deported twenty times, why was he not in federal prison, on multiple felony counts? That was because of Obama Administration policies, and failures. If you just shove these multiple offenders back over the border, they’ve suffered no real penalty, but simply have to find another way back in to the US. They need to be thrown in prison, to be punished for their crimes, and deported only after they’ve spent a good, long time in jail, with the promise that if they’re ever caught here again, they’ll go right back to prison.

He’s just committing the rapes that Americans won’t do…
I’m torn. Sexual assault of any kind is horrible, but it seems to be giving the folks of sanctuary cities a bellyful of what they thought they wanted. Hard to bitch and complain when you come out and say you’re willing to harbor criminals, so I typically don’t feel anything short of schadenfreude.
Federal law supercedes state law. It’s called the “supremacy clause” of the Constitution. That being said, the feds ought to arrest every “official” who failed to notify ICE of this scumbag’s pending release.
