01-07-08 Unless you
have absolutely no interest in public safety, you will find the following information very difficult
to believe.
If you are an illegal alien and speak no english and have
absolutely no proof of legal residence, but do have criminal tendencies,
then Phoenix, Arizona is a good place to be.
In Phoenix you can commit murder, rape,
kidnapping, assault, or any other serious felony and the Police Department has instructions
from Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris NOT to verify your citizenship status with ICE.
This is also true, of course, with all misdemeanor offenses.
The Police Department allows a suspect to "self ID" (give any false name that comes
to mind) and then writes a citation which contains a "promise to appear", and then
turns 'em loose. You can probably guess what percentage ever show up in court.
For purposes of clarity, this policy is not the choice of the
Phoenix cops out on the street, the officers who risk their lives every day trying to
actually enforce the law. This inane policy is mandated by Operations Order 1.4.3
as created by Chief Harris and supported by Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon.
The police officers union adamantly opposes this policy, but
they are ignored and suppressed.
The American Freedom Riders have initiated a campaign to inform
the legal residents of Phoenix of the details of this Operations Order and to gain the
necessary support to get it rescinded.
Phoenix Police CAN NOT call "Immigration" against illegal aliens for felonies like:
| Homicide | Armed Robbery | Rape | Child Molesting |
| DUI | Hit & Run | Manslaughter | Robbery |
| Breaking & Entering | Reckless Endangerment | Fraudulent Schemes | Assault & Battery |
| Aggravated Assault | Lewd Behavior | Burglary | Forgery |
| Public Drunkenness | Assault w/ Deadly Weapon | ||
| Extortion * | Identity Theft * | Hostage-Taking * | Kidnapping * |
For misdemeanors, there is NO call to ICE.
The illegal alien generally promises to appear in court later, is released, and
promptly gets lost, never to be seen again until he is arrested for his next
criminal act. The question is: How serious will the next offense be?
Will yet another police officer be killed? Will another drunk driving illegal
alien kill more children?
Phoenix PD Officers CAN send illegal aliens to get help
with immigration, housing, & social services to Chicanos por la Causa and
Friendly House. Both agencies receive public tax $$$.
Phoenix PD Detectives WILL help illegal aliens
claiming "I'm a crime victim" to obtain a U-Visa for themselves and family
members to remain in the US.
This is an outrage!
Mayor Phil Gordon knows it's an outrage but refuses to step up
and demand that it be corrected. Instead, he has created a smokescreen to give
himself political cover. He has created a "panel" to review Operations
Order 1.4.3 and recommend changes - maybe.
This so-called "blue ribbon" panel consists of four lawyers
whose agendas have not been supportive of border security. In fact, one of them
is currently prosecuting Border Patrol agent Nick Corbett for defending himself against
an illegal alien intruder in southern Arizona last year.
This panel has no legal authority and we don't need it.
JUST ENFORCE THE EXISTING LAWS.
