Have you not been reading the papers? ICE is currently looking for 300,000 aliens that did not show up for their deportation hearings. Many of those are felons. That’s why ICE and DHS have made them a priority.
The only time they get deported is if ICE knows they are in jail and informs the jail to tell ICE when they are to be released, so ICE can pick them up. There is currently no tracking system for illegal aliens in Local and State jails and prisons. It’s all hit or miss.
As I suspect you know, local and State jails don’t coordinate with ICE very well and ICE does not coordinate with anyone very well.
This is to inform you that your deportation hearing will be at 1pm, Tuesday next month, please be there.
Yours Truly Uncle Sam.
Pretty imprssive enforcement, huh? And did you know that local LE is PROHIBITED from inquiring into the immigration status of persons arrested for felonies? More impressive enforcement huh? Yup, the government is doing everything it can to catch and deport illegal alien felons.
Illegal Accused Of Murdering
Nun Had Deportation Orders
By Jim Lynch
The Oregonian
9-6-2
The man indicted Thursday in Klamath Falls on charges of raping and killing a nun was apprehended in the Portland railroad yards in 1992 by a federal immigration official who made him promise to leave the country.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service agent who arrested Maximiliano Silerio Esparza on Oct. 21, 1992, apparently was unaware that Esparza wasn't just another undocumented immigrant. Esparza had been in a California prison earlier that year and had already received formal deportation orders from an Arizona immigration judge.
Esparza was asked to sign an I-210, a form that is part of the INS' most casual deportation program, which some INS agents derisively call "catch-and-release." The document made him acknowledge he was in the United States illegally and promise to leave shortly, according to an internal INS record of the incident obtained by The Oregonian.
A month later, Portland police arrested Esparza on suspicion of selling cocaine in Old Town. But again Esparza was released -- this time after one night in jail. Esparza was later indicted on the drug charges but never showed up at court in January 1993. He has had a warrant out for his arrest ever since.
Ed Sale, spokesman for the INS Portland District, said he couldn't comment on any of the agency's encounters with Esparza. He said the INS relies on police to inform it when a potentially illegal immigrant has been arrested. He also said the agency's 1992 encounter with Esparza in Portland may have been handled by the U.S. Border Patrol, which is part of INS but not directly overseen by the Portland office.
Esparza was indicted by a Klamath Falls grand jury Thursday on 11 counts, including aggravated murder, rape and sodomy. Police say Esparza rode a train from Portland to Klamath Falls last weekend before visiting a strip bar and then attacking two nuns early Sunday morning while they were praying on a downtown bike path.
Authorities say he head-butted one of the nuns, then proceeded to rape them both while controlling them with the rosary beads around their necks. Helen Chaska -- who went by the name Sister Helena Maria -- died in the attack, strangled by her own beads, according to an autopsy report.
Klamath County Prosecutor Ed Caleb is seeking the death penalty for Esparza. He said he is putting two staff investigators on the case full time to try to piece together Esparza's past. Investigators, Caleb said, are looking into as many as nine different aliases Esparza has used.
Esparza's 1992 record shows:
He was released from a California prison under the alias Martin Martinez on Jan. 15 after serving three years for robbery and kidnapping. He was supposed to be deported by the INS at that time, but it's not clear whether he ever was. Immigration records, however, show that he was ordered deported on Jan. 31 in Florence, Ariz. -- but this time under the alias Victor Batres-Martinez.
When he was picked up by the INS and Portland police later that year, he went by Maximiliano Silerio Esparza, which is the same name under which he is being held in Klamath Falls. It also happens to be the name of the governor of the northern Mexican state of Durango from 1989 to 1998.
The Oregonian has learned that Klamath County investigators suspect Esparza used other aliases over the years, including Mateo Jimenez, Manuel Martinez Martinez, Victor Martinez Guerrero and Jose Garcia Perez.
When Esparza was apprehended by the INS in Portland in October 1992, he said he entered the United States in September 1985 through the U.S. border town of San Ysidro, south of San Diego, according to the incident document. ---snip----
