Three Previously Deported Hondurans Caught Running Salt Lake City Drug Ring

Three previously deported illegal aliens have been charged by the Utah Attorney General's Office with running a drug ring throughout Salt Lake City in addition to other felonies, reports KSL.com .

"Melvin Arrazola-Raudales, 41, Rene Leonardo Trejo-Raudales, 26, and Richer Brayan Valle-Raudales, 23, were each charged in 3rd District Court with two counts of drug distribution, a second-degree felony, and possession of a weapon by a restricted person, a third-degree felony," writes Pat Reavy.

All three men told authorities they had been previously deported but snuck back in through the Texas border.

via KSL :

Arrazola-Raudales has a history of drug distribution and has been previously deported twice, the charges state.

Valle-Raudales told investigators "he is an immigrant from Honduras who has been in the United States for approximately three months. (He) attempted to cross the border in 2014. Valle-Raudales again crossed the border approximately six months ago and again was deported," the charges state.

Trejo-Raudales "reported he is an immigrant from Honduras who has been in the United States for approximately seven months," according to court documents. He told investigators he crossed the border in Texas and had been deported once before.

The attorney general's SECURE Strike Force "received information about a group of Honduran nationals selling narcotics throughout the Salt Lake Valley, specifically heroin and cocaine" and quickly moved in on the suspects. Authorities found $7,500 in cash as well as more cocaine and heroin in the house last week after obtaining a "no-knock warrant."

"I immediately instructed assisting agents to inspect the suspects' mouths for contraband. Inside Mr. Arrazola-Raudales's mouth was five square white plastic twists and 27 round white plastic twists. The square twists were field tested on scene and showed positive for cocaine. The round twists were field tested on scene and showed positive for heroin," the charges state.

"In the bathroom, agents found an empty plastic gum container and two twists on the floor with water near them. Based on your (investigator's) training and understanding of drug distributors it appears likely the suspects were flushing drugs down the toilet," the attorney generals office said.

Records say one of the suspects confessed to receiving "narcotics from some Mexicans in the evening and would separate them into individual packaging for selling at night. The next day they would go throughout the Salt Lake Valley and sell the packages of narcotics."

Bush League Republicans want to make them citizens.
Graham has signed on to sponsor another amnesty bill.

Is SLC a sanctuary city? Depends!

Mayor says SLC acts like sanctuary city, but ‘technically’ not one | KUTV
kutv.com/news/local/mayor-says-slc-acts-like-sanctuary-city-but-technically-not-one

Jan 26, 2017 - (KUTV) Local Latino leaders sought reassurance from Salt Lake City Police and Mayor Jackie Biskupski on Thursday, and they got it, in the wake of immigration executive orders from President Trump. ... But she added, “We are doing everything that a sanctuary city is doing.”

Just the kind of constituents Democrats want. That’s why they want open borders.

Right. It’s a mistake to just blame the Democrats. In this case, it’s the Democrats and the GOPe vs. Trump and average Americans.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but it looks to me like the Democrats/GOPe team is gonna win. Why do I say that? Trump is trying. But more illegals are crossing the border than ever.

Pretty much. The DNC: socialist for the murder of innocents and the celebration of perverts ... what couldn’t they do?

President Trump is doing what he can, but is getting no help from the GOP.
Bush League Republicans still control the NRSC, NRCC and the RNC.
They still have most of the Senate GOP seats.
They are still hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.

A .45 ACP, HydraShock retails for about .45-.50cents. Problem solved for around a $1.50 or less.

What really stinks about this story is the fact we know about it. Three illegal immigrants selling drugs. Where is Gomer Pyle when you need a “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.”

By releasing the info, the Mexican cartel simply finds different stooges. Local politicians can appear tough on crime, when they are actually weak and afraid of the cartel.

If Salt Lake is lost, we are all doomed.

They need to be “put down,” or at the very least “put to sleep.”

Utah only elects open borders Bush League Republicans.
They did this to themselves.
Hatch voted for the last amnesty attempt and Romney will vote for the next attempt.
