Hundreds of accused murderers, thieves and sex offenders, including illegal migrants, nabbed in sweeping federal operation

They brought the hammer down on the worst of the worst.

Federal authorities have swept up 264 wanted criminals — including two illegal migrants wanted for sex crimes — in New Jersey in an ongoing mission dubbed “Operation Apex Hammer” that nabbed suspects wanted for murder, robbery and sexual offenses, including those against children.

Those arrested include 17 homicide suspects, 95 gang members, including several others wanted for serious violent and sexual offenses, federal officials said.

U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr. and Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba called the collaboration among federal, state, and local law enforcement “a major success in combating violent crime and restoring public safety.”

“We are doing multiple cases at once to make sure that we clean up as quickly as possible,” Habba told Fox News of the operation in June. “Violent crime is number one. It is very clear from this administration. That is all we’re focused on.”

At least two of the suspects were illegal immigrants, police sources said.

The suspects had 2,625 prior arrests among them, or about 10 each, officials said.

Illegal Guatemalan immigrant Lorenzo Benitez, 54, was arrested on June 4 in Plainfield, NJ, and faces multiple counts of sexual assault in Keansburg, NJ, law enforcement officials said.

As a nation, we have become so used to cities and states just letting these repeat criminals go free, it is a novelty to have them arrested and facing time in federal prison.

If the top 200 criminals in each large city were locked away for life, the crime rates would drop quite a bit. There has been a revolving door at the courthouse for way too long. It’s way past time that door stopped.

It is truly staggering and incomprehensible that Democrats coddle these criminals. The price our,society pays is astronomical.

Except in NYC you’d need to keep the top 2000 in prison. When I worked there in the early 70s a coworker of mine was mugged on his way to work. He sat down with the police and picked the guy out of a photo book. The prosecutor convinced him to testify. So at the trial he testified and the criminal with a long history of assaults and robberies was found guilty. The judge released him to the custody of his parole officer. No jail time just a longer parole time. NYC has been a haven for criminals for a long time.

RE: “Gypsies, Trans and Thieves!”

Good multilayered post. The altered song title and also the fact that the singer Cher’s child, Chastity Bono, underwent a “gender transition” and is now known as Chaz Bono.

“The process involved sex reassignment surgery, testosterone injections, and breast removal. Cher initially struggled with the news, but has since become supportive of Chaz’s journey.”
