Almost all heartless looting suspects — 41 of 45 — arrested in Florida county after hurricanes are illegal migrants: sheriff
New York Post ^

Nearly all of the heartless looters busted in one Florida county following hurricanes Helene and Milton were illegal immigrants, according to local authorities.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said this weekend that 41 of the 45 alleged looters rounded up on armed robbery, burglary, loitering, grant theft, vandalism and trespassing charges on their turf in the wake of the two deadly storms are in the US illegally, Fox News said in a report.

The sheriff’s office also said that another 196 people were caught in the area under suspicious circumstances and questioned by deputies but had to be released due to lack of probable cause — with 163 of those individuals found to be in the US illegally.

“A lot of these people were in the area to take others’ properties and our efforts prevented additional crimes from occurring,” Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said at a press briefing.

“As the Pinellas beaches recover, were gonna continue these patrols and arrest everyone we can who is stealing from the vulnerable of two back to back storms that have devastated our community.”

The two massive storms slammed the Florida coast earlier this month in back-to-back disasters, causing millions of dollars in damage and killing more than a dozen people in Pinellas County alone.

Gualtieri said 80 additional deputies were deployed to areas in the county where residents were ordered to evacuate in order to keep the community safe.

In addition tot he looters, another 58 people were charged with scamming hurricane victims out of some $250 million for repairs they never did — and in most cases ever intended to do.

It is unclear if any of those were migrants.

From what I’ve been reading, Florida is crawling with illegals.

Construction is booming in Florida, according to DeSantis. Construction and illegal labor go hand in hand everywhere.

Those factors have had a predictable relationship for decades, or even centuries.

has there ever been a nation in the history of the world that openly supported a full invasion of its borders with foreign peoples/enemies?

Gov DeSantis: Make chain-gangs great again!

Nothing takes proclivity of unrighteousness like the Florida heat, humidity, mosquitos, and hard labor.

The accomplices are Myorkas, Biden and Harris. They should also be charged.

“196 people were caught in the area .... with 163 of those individuals found to be in the US illegally.”

WTF, here illegally and released. Should be shipped to Biden’s home in Delaware.

Accountability for the accomplices should consider
including organ transfer to the needy and raped
that they also smuggled in.

Put them in a C130, open the ramp over the Caribbean, and drop them off at their home

A misdemeanor should be enough for deportation. Thump could give the states the power to deport. The result would be all the troublemakers moving to blue states-sanctuary.

Rome in its later stages.
The western empire collapsed as a result. The eastern empire lasted for a while after.

Florida, Texas, California, New York are littered with illegal aliens. The Biden/Harris administration has made it more difficult to arrest them and deport them.
