Arrest Disrupts Costa Mesa Council Meeting(City votes FOR immigration enforcement!)
Orange County Register ^ | January 4, 2006 | BRIAN MARTINEZ

COSTA MESA – A City Council meeting broke into chaos Tuesday night as police forcefully arrested immigration-rights activist Coyotl Tezcalipoca after he refused to leave the chambers. He was charged with disrupting an assembly and obstructing an arresting officer, police said.

Tezcalipoca and about 100 people were there to protest Costa Mesa's effort to give certain police officials the power to enforce immigration law, a job usually left to federal authorities.

About 40 supporters of the city's plan, including Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist, expressed without incident their strong opposition to illegal immigration.

After accusing the council majority of trying to rid Costa Mesa of Mexicans and vowing that he and other members of Tonantzin Collective, an immigration rights group, would never allow that to happen, Tezcalipoca asked his supporters to stand up.

Mayor Allan Mansoor told him not to, but Tezcalipoca, 25, urged supporters to stand up anyway. Mansoor informed him that his time to speak was over, citing a 7 p.m. cut-off time for public comments.

Tezcalipoca refused to stop speaking, and police officers approached him and asked him to leave. He refused.

When the officer grabbed his arms, Tezcalipoca demanded that they stop touching him.

"The City Council voted 3-2 on Dec. 7 to seek a formal relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would train about 40 Costa Mesa detectives, jailers and officers to enforce immigration laws on people suspected of unrelated felonies."

No, the City Council is trying to rid Costa Mesa of ILLEGAL residents.

Well, if they don't respect immigration laws, how do you expect them to respect a police officer or peace/disturbance laws...

Coyotl Tezcalipoca...

I love the way these MECHA nitwits always take Aztec names, when they are almost all actually descendants of the runty little vassal tribes that the real Aztecs would have been sacrificing on their altars. Without Cortez's intervention, Mr. Tezcalipoca's ancestors wouldn't have survived long enough to reproduce and make him possible. ;)

Tezcalipoca and about 100 people were there to protest...

Tezcalipoca, also known as Benito Acosta, strongly resisted, and the officers dragged him out. The crowd of supporters closely surrounded the five police officers, who were all trying to control Tezcalipoca, and demanded that they let him go. The council meeting resumed about 30 minutes later.

Who said that leftists ever had to have a grounding in history or reality.

They specialize in alternate universes.

The reality is, as you are correct, many more of these people descended from countless other tribes and not a few have non-Spanish European (as in German for one) DNA in them.

It is all such a hypocritical sham, being of a race called Hispanic, that is. It's a language group and a culture.

Ah, the evil spawn of Saul Alinskey.

The pathetic thing about this is that the Collective has the support of two council members.

Lets review. This clown promotes illegal immigration, refuses to abide by city council meeting rules, refuses a lawful order by a police officer, resists efforts to enforce an officer's order, attempts to incite a riot.

Mr. Acosta apparently believes that he only has to obey the laws he agrees with.

I agree but even more pathetic is four years after 9/11 and this is the ONLY CITY IN AMERICA forget about counties and/or states who has voted FOR immigration enforcement!

Cities don't have any problem enforcing federal laws against bank robberies but when it comes to illegal immigration welllll now that's something entirely different!

I am fairly certain his name is not the one he was born with either. Coyotl, sounds like a aztec god.
