MANCHESTER — Augustin Bahati, the Congolese refugee who had domestic violence charges against him dismissed for reasons of cultural incompetency, participated in a class that taught him about the legal system and domestic-abuse laws, a refugee resettlement group said Monday. Newly arrived refugees are enrolled in cultural orientation classes held in their own language, said Jeffrey Thielman, president and chief executive of the International Institute of New England....Refugees charged with a crime are treated no differently than a citizen, Thielman said. Upon conviction, they can’t be deported.

Again, charges dismissed because of cultural incompetency. From an earlier article, he was charged with striking, pushing, grabbing, kicking and pulling out the hair of a woman who was 27 weeks pregnant at the time. But note that refugees can't be deported, no matter what they do. And sometimes they can't be convicted either.

This should not be a “defense.”

If it is, then “ignorance of the Law” is, too

Maybe the word “incompetence” is harsh and insensitive.

Try calling a black judge Little Black Sambo, plead cultural incompetency and see how far that gets you.

International Institute of New England!

I knew this before reading the article.
What a horrid place, Red England. Awful, awful, awful.

Many Africans that have been here for generations act much the same and little is done to stop them. The judiciary is more corrupt than congress ever imagined.

Culturally Incompetent = Culturally Incompatible

Extreme Vetting of Immigrants and or Refugees should include Cultural Compatibility.

American Laws are a mirror of and rooted in our cultural norms, self-evident truths, and moral laws which are God-given. American Laws are upheld and defended by the government -NOT determined by the government.

If a refugee/immigrant commits a crime and is found to be incompatible with our cultural norms their legal status should be revoked and they should be deported ASAP!

But the refugee program in this case makes it illegal to deport them for any reason. They argue that "refugees" have no place to be but here.

RE:”Again, charges dismissed because of cultural incompetency.”

It is also an indictment of every refugee from his country, they cant be expected to follow our laws because they have a different culture.

Then don't let them in.

How about if one of us attacked an LGBT and claimed cultural incompetency as a defense?

The answer should be simple... “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

The Judge should have said, “you’re welcome to do that in your home country. But you’re not in your home country.
Guilty!”

The people who promote this crap are the very same ones who decry “Ugly Americans” who go to foreign countries, but don’t abide by local customs, or speak the local language.

Sorry, the "refugee" animals are more equal than "citizen" animals.
