Sergio Martinez was wanted by federal immigration authorities. But he was released by local authorities in Portland without notifying the feds and he went on to commit two assaults.
Portland, Oregon – The city of Portland released a man that had a federal immigration hold on him and had been deported at least 20 times who then went and allegedly assaulted two women, including a 65-year-old woman.
Portland has declared itself a sanctuary city which means it doesn’t cooperate with the federal government in terms of enforcing the immigration law.
Sergio Martinez attacked a woman in the basement of a parking garage while armed with a knife, according to Fox News. When the woman kicked him in the stomach and hit the button that set off her car alarm, Martinez fled. Detectives also linked Martinez to another assault that happened blocks away, Fox News reported.
In the second assault, Martinez entered through an open window and used scarves and socks to blindfold, tie up and gag the victim. He then sexually assaulted the woman and slammed her head into the wood floor.
Sergio Martinez was caught July 24 when police chased him through a neighborhood.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had an immigration detainer on Martinez since December, 2016. ICE had asked the local authorities to notify them before letting Martinez go. However, the city of Portland didn’t do that and just released Sergio Martinez.
It’s against the law for cities in Oregon to use their resources to enforce federal immigration law, but there’s no reason that they can’t tell ICE about people already in custody.
Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese wrote a letter to the city of Portland that said, “The Sheriff’s Office does not hold people in county jails on ICE detainers or conduct any immigration enforcement actions.”
Martinez’s criminal record included a felony conviction for burglary and three misdemeanor convictions for battery, theft, and obstructing a public officer.
Martinez told police in March that he has a long history of using methamphetamine and was still using the drug, KGW.com reported. He is facing charges that include first-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree robbery, second-degree assault, first-degree sex abuse, first-degree sodomy and first-degree burglary, the TV station reported.
Martinez had lived in the area for more than a year and was believed to have been homeless at the time of his arrest.
Any victims left alive should sue City of Portland.
Here’s hoping the assaulted women supported the sanctuary policies. There’s every reason only such supporters should be subject to the fallout of stupid policies.
next time, it could one of their family...
I know it might be wrong to say but I hope that the Mayor of Portland and/or the Police Chief are tortured and murdered by this very same “undocumented worker”.
“...next time, it could one of their family...”
It never seems to happen though, does it? Same with all of the Unconstitutional CR@P that our CongressRats inflict upon, ‘We The People.’ It NEVER comes back to bite them, personally.
Frustrating!
Victims should SUE Portland until it hurts, and then sue some more. Freaking MORONS, releasing dangerous felons just to make a ridiculous PC point. And what if this piece of garbage had killed someone? Whoever made the decision to free him should be FIRED and blacklisted for any job in the industry.
See my Post #7. Agreed!
They should make it illegal to break the law.
The people of Portland, OR, like the people of Portland, ME, get what they vote for.
Gotta keep those liberal white girls in what they want, sex with scum.
Federal Marshals should arrest the mayor and anybody else involved in implementing this policy. Charge them with harboring a criminal. Kick in the door of their office, cuff’em and drag’em off to jail.
3rd deportation from 15,000 feet over their home country would seriously reduce recidivism.
Isn’t it time someone somewhere paid for making decisions like this?
It makes one sick to think of these criminals that seem to exempt from our US laws and treated with kid gloves while our citizens and often non career criminals are made examples of.
Bundy supporter Burleson comes to mind as a recent casualty.

Yeah, right. Like everyone else, all hat, no cattle.
“I want”, “We’re going”, “Talks are”
No DONE\DID.
As for the victims, those sued can no longer hide behind their shield of govt; they flouted the law and *should* (I don’t expect any judge to bit the hand that feeds them) be held personally responsible, as well as the city.
I’ve given up giving a s* for those that voted in these @ss-clowns. You want it, you got it, now pay up.
The socialists are in open rebellion.
Holy cow, I've never heard anything so unjust.
We should be doing that the FIRST time!

Problem is, we’ve created our own oligarchy.
- Paid by the taxpayers and allowed to bloat their own salary, add on numerous bennies and privledges.
- Chauffeured around & protected by a small army, better equipped than your average Citizen.
- Domiciled in gated mansions on the best lands possible
- Exempt of the same laws passed upon the pleebs.
...until they DIE (rare that I remember reading/hearing of any dismissing all after office). IMO, the 17th is but the linchpin of the fall of our Republic.
Well, yeah! The slaves have to be kept in their place. And the way to do that is to pound the hell out of them when they get uppidity. Career criminals? Who gives a damn about them? They only bust the serf’s heads. We have to keep the serfs and slaves in line so they will continue working and support us in our lavish lifestyles.
