City-journal.org reports in this story the following data:
• In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.
• A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in southern California is illegal; police officers say the proportion is actually much greater. The bloody gang collaborates with the Mexican Mafia, the dominant force in California prisons, on complex drug-distribution schemes, extortion, and drive-by assassinations, and commits an assault or robbery every day in L.A. County. The gang has grown dramatically over the last two decades by recruiting recently arrived youngsters, most of them illegal, from Central America and Mexico.
• The leadership of the Columbia Lil’ Cycos gang, which uses murder and racketeering to control the drug market around L.A.’s MacArthur Park, was about 60 percent illegal in 2002, says former assistant U.S. attorney Luis Li. Francisco Martinez, a Mexican Mafia member and an illegal alien, controlled the gang from prison, while serving time for felonious reentry following deportation.
Jewish World Review reports on the Washington Sniper Incident:"Lee Malvo (the 17-year old who was one of the snipers) is an illegal alien from Jamaica who jumped ship in Miami in June 2001. He was apprehended by the Border Patrol in Bellingham, Wash., in December 2001, but was then let go by the INS district in Seattle in clear violation of federal law and contrary to what the arresting Border Patrol officers intended, according to my law enforcement sources."
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
"Perez had been ejected from the club for unruly behavior, said Berkeley Police Captain Bobby Miller. About half an hour later, the suspect returned with a handgun, knocked on the door of the nightclub and shot Nadel once in the head at point-blank range when he answered the door."
"Miller said Perez is believed to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico and had recently been living in homes in Berkeley and Emeryville. Police said the suspect has apparently left the Bay Area, but it is unknown whether he is in Mexico."
