A Mexican man had been deported nineteen times from the US, forcibly and voluntarily. Yet, he now faces charges of raping a 13-year-old girl in Kansas.
Thomas Martinez-Maldonado, 38, is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl on a Greyhound bus that was traveling through Kansas.
The Witchita Eagle reports:
Three U.S. Republican senators including Kansas' Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts demanded this month that the Department of Homeland Security provide immigration records for 38-year-old Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, who is charged with a felony in the alleged Sept. 27 attack aboard a bus in Geary County. He is being held in the Geary County jail in Junction City, which is about 120 miles west of Kansas City.
U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, from Iowa and chairman of the judiciary committee, co-signed a Dec. 9 letter with Moran and Roberts to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, calling it "an extremely disturbing case" and questioning how Martinez-Maldonado was able to re-enter and remain in the country.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it has placed a detainer a request to turn Martinez-Maldonado over to ICE custody before he is released with Geary County. ICE declined to discuss his specific case beyond its October statement regarding the 10 deportations.
Court filings show Martinez-Maldonado has two misdemeanor convictions for entering without legal permission in cases prosecuted in 2013 and 2015 in U.S. District Court of Arizona, where he was sentenced to serve 60 days and 165 days respectively.
A status hearing in the rape case is scheduled for Jan. 10. Defense attorney Lisa Hamer declined to comment on the charge, but said, "criminal law and immigration definitely intersect and nowadays it should be the responsibility of every criminal defense attorney to know the possible ramifications in the immigration courts."
According to records obtained by the AP, Martinez-Maldonado removed himself at least eight times before he was deported in 2010, followed by another voluntary removal later that same year. He was then deported another five times between 2011 and 2013.
The Witchita Eagle reported, "In 2013, Martinez-Maldonado was charged with entering without legal permission, a misdemeanor, and subsequently deported in early 2014 after serving his sentence. He was deported again a few months later, as well as twice in 2015 including the last one in October 2015 after he had served his second sentence, the records show."
"ICE said in an emailed statement when it encounters a person who's been deported multiple times or has a significant criminal history and was removed, it routinely presents those cases to the U.S. attorney's office for possible criminal charges," the report continued. "Cosme Lopez, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Arizona, declined comment on why prosecutors twice dismissed felony re-entry after deportation charges against Martinez-Maldonado in 2013 and 2015 in exchange for guilty pleas on misdemeanor entry charges."
Now, the question that we should be asking at this point is, does deporting work? In this man's case, it is clear it does not. After all, he left nine times voluntarily and was forcibly deported ten more times. Yet, what other penalty would be imposed on him that would be just?
How will a wall or anything else actually stop a person so set on entering our country? The fact is that nothing can stop anyone willing to risk their life to enter the country, whether they intend to do good or evil.
As I am a defender of God's law being used, I can't say that the death penalty would be applicable here for being an illegal immigrant. However, I do believe that if he is convicted or confesses to the charges against him concerning rape, then he should face public execution.
Here's the child rapist!
Parents and victim can thank America's first immigrant president who cares not a fig for this heinous crime.
He should not have even stayed alive long enough to take this picture.
No kidding!!
Send him to the Philippines where the president there brags of booting people from a helicopter.
Clinton presidency, this guy would be sent to councelling. Maybe.
it is up to you, the same as it is up to every US Male.
We have been hunted for the last 8 years by murderers rapists savages who have been allowed into this country by this impostor president and the rat party and some republicans. We need to hold them responsible
Is ICE PICK still in the Family?
He should be one of the first Mexican nationals to be killed by forcing him to do slave labor building a concrete wall. Then embedded in it.
This youngin will carry this with her the rest of her life. It will haunt her, even after years of therapy...it will haunt her. Unless unusually strong, this girl, soon to be young lady will likely live a life with multiple dysfunctions such as drug/alcohol abuse, relationship/trust issues, anxiety/depression.
19 times? Seriously? This crime is on the heads of those in government that allowed this creep to continue on in this country.
And by the way. If this guy was so bold as to rape a 13yr old on a bus, it is probably safe to say it is not the first child he’z abused/raped. They're likely others suffering in silence.
EXACTLY!
(Why is Nidal Hasan still alive?)
Acting out an act of love.
Another posting from yesterday if anyone is interested in scanning thru it.

Isn’t he one of Clown Dunce nobama’s “dreamers”?
I hope he gets to dream the rest of his life away in a prison cell.
What the emphasis of this event to me is that we have absolutely
no border control along the southern border with Mexico.
As to this animal I’d deny any and all bail, throw him immediately into genpop with what he did stenciled to the back of his prison jumpsuit. He wouldn’t last a week. As to the others who are caught here illegally after being deported before they’re shipped back I would chip each and every one of them so that law enforcement could round them up as soon as they reenter the country. I’m so through being played by this scum.
We should be deporting them by dropping them from helicopters. 19 times, why the hell was he not rotting in a prison already.
I do not understand how a rape on a bus occurred. Were there no other people to help the poor child. What was the bus driver doing that he did not hear her cries and stop the bus. There has to be more to this story. ??????
