San Jose killing entangled in immigrant policy fight over Trust Act

SAN JOSE -- A month before authorities say he killed his wife, 40-year-old Mario Chavez was in jail after a heated domestic argument that ended with him threatening their 6-year-old son with a knife.

His family got a protective order. He made bail. When a judge later raised the amount, so did Chavez.

In the weeks since the Sept. 7 slaying that left three San Jose children virtually orphaned, some of the sadness gave way to a pointed question: Should Chavez -- who was in the country illegally -- have been able to post bail in the first place?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials contend they could have kept Chavez off the street, but were stymied by a county policy that severely curtails their access to inmates. But the local leaders who championed that policy say it remains an important protection against federal overreaching, and argue the criminal justice system has plenty of other ways to keep dangerous individuals locked up.

The conflict is at the heart of the Trust Act, a bill authored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, which if signed by Gov. Jerry Brown would order county jails to hold specific violent offenders for ICE agents. Brown has until Oct. 13 to sign or veto the bill.

Until these savages start murdering the trust funded residents of Malibu or Los Altos nothing will be done.

If this were over guns or gays or spending, and not illegals, the MSM would be hammering ‘federalism!’ (national uniformity).
Civil War II, next stop.

“Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco”

That in itself explains it along with Moonbeam.

I say let all the domestic violent wetbacks out; the more they kill the wives and kids in their own families, the fewer we have to deport.
Keeps them from breeding like cockroaches in the future too.
Please don’t ask me for compassion for the innocent wives or children; at this point in my life I just don’t give a damn any more. I have had to deal with these lowlife criminal wetbacks for thirty-five years; any compassion I might have had for the so-called innocent people in the ILLEGAL ALIEN community was wasted and exhausted a long time ago.
Now for all you bleeding hearts out there who are going to tell me I am a horrible, bitter person, yeah your right.
You didn’t live and work next door to these gang banger’s, thieves and rapists for half of your life, I did.
Big gang-banger’s create little gang-banger’s, big thieves create little thieves, big rapists create little rapists (at least in the male of the species).
I have been given the excuse a thousand times that it is their CULTURE; that’s bullsh#t, it’s in their DNA.
So; in conclusion, the faster they kill each other off, the better off everybody else is.

It looks like the only time they might actually keep an illegal alien in jail is if he registers to vote and then votes Republican.
