On another note, worse than not calling the Feds is the unbelievable actions of the judges who let this creep out on bail multiple times. It's disgusting.
It wasn't a guess.
County officials never alert immigration to anything - ever since the NJ State Troopers profiling "scandal" law enforcement in this state has been forbidden to inquire about any perp's immigration status: the NJ Supreme Court considers it to be a violation of the perp's civil rights.
When the sherriff's office said "apparently" that immigration knew, I recognized that he was using "plausible deniability" language.
If they actually had informed immigration, the officer would have given an incident and a date that immigration had been contacted and completely passed the buck with a sigh of relief.
That he was incapable of doing so was telling.
And no, I am not surprised that one of our corrupt judges has extended bail to this classic example of a flight risk.
