Look at this headline: do you get the idea that NJ.com is attempting to scapegoat Immigration and Customs Enforcement for being mean and deporting “immigrants”?
This immigrant was arrested multiple times. Now ICE has sent him back to El Salvador.
No telling if writer Kelly Heyboer wrote the headline or someone else did. Let’s see what she did write
An unauthorized immigrant who had been arrested multiple times in New Jersey and New York was sent back to El Salvador last week, where he was wanted on murder charges, federal officials said.
Brian Alejandro Martinez, who has also gone by the name Maximiliano Cornejo, was flown to El Salvador and turned over to local authorities Friday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
“This individual’s egregious immigration history and serious criminal history in the U.S., as well as being wanted for homicide in his home country, shows that he is a dangerous individual who warranted removal from the community and the U.S.,” said John Tsoukaris, field office director of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division in Newark.
He’s been deported several times going back to 2006. He’s been arrested multiple times since 2014, serving time in jail for “multiple local charges”, and was arrested on more local charges in 2016 after posting bond in 2015 pending removal proceedings. We finally get to
In July, nearly two years after his latest arrest, an immigration judge ordered him removed to El Salvador.
So, it wasn’t ICE that deported him, it was a federal judge. But, hey, let’s scapegoat ICE a bit more
Martinez’s removal from the U.S. comes as ICE has been stepping up arrests and efforts to send unauthorized immigrants back to their home countries.
In fiscal year 2017, ICE removed or returned 226,119 immigrants to their home countries, federal officials said. That is about 15,000 more than the previous year.
Here you have an illegal alien who’s already been deported and returned, making him a felony absconder, who committed enough local crimes to get him sentenced to 253 days in jail, who then committed more crimes, and is also wanted for murder charges in El Salvador, but, the media wants to attempt to position ICE as being meanies for deporting more illegals.
Regardless, ICE did their job and got rid of this dangerous criminal, yet, we still have Democratic nutters doing this

A person running for Attorney General of NY wants to protect law breakers, like the guy above, who was in her state.
You’re purposefully conflating two issues.
The author of the NJ.com article did not defend the criminal immigrant nor did she denigrate ICE. So why are you upset? A bad guy was deported. Good. No one objected.
But what Kelly Heyboer described was unrelated to the farm raid in Rome NY noted by Ms. Teachout.
Do you approve of armed federal agents raiding a dairy farm without a warrant (which they admitted), tossing farmer John Collins’ cell phone across a road, and handcuffing him? Isn’t that worthy of at least a look? Sounds even worse than the “jack-booted thugs” of the IRS that the Cons were so afraid of in the 80s. The IRS was just trying to make sure that rich folks paid their taxes.
