DACA Kids Still In Limbo - American Kids Light a Fire Under The Estabishment & the NRA - February Execution Stats From the PGJE For TIJ: 171 Dead; YTD For TIJ: 359 Dead

 Let's look at what is happening with the DACA kids, and I chose this first article due to the many links which provide an historical narrative:

What's Next For DACA and Dreamers

The Right-Wing Effort to Paint DREAMers As A Nightmare
By, Dara Lind - 03/01/18

"President Donald Trump has called DREAMers — the nearly 2 million young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children — “terrific” people. He has said he wants a “bill of love” to keep recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program safe from deportation (though his administration’s actions have fallen far short of that aspiration).


The softer tone makes sense — DREAMers are a sympathetic group. They were “brought here through no fault of their own,” they’ve grown up here, and they attended US schools. The common stereotype of DREAMers is of high school valedictorians and high-achieving professionals who may not even speak the native language of their home countries.


But some conservatives, especially in right-wing media, are happy to go where the White House won’t. Conservative media outlets have found a way reframe the conversation about DREAMers, arguing that young undocumented immigrants are a criminal threat to ordinary Americans — or at least that enough of them might be dangerous that it’s not worth the risk of providing legal protections.


On a recent episode of his show, Tucker Carlson on Fox News reported on the Salvadoran-American gang MS-13. The segment lives online with the title: “MS-13 is now in 22 states, thanks to DACA.”

Another FoxNews.com story from Monday reported on an undocumented immigrant in Rochester, New York, who was arrested for making threats toward students at a local high school. The headline? “DACA recipient, 21, threatened to ‘shoot all of ya b----es’ at NY high school, police say.”
Last month, the right-leaning Washington Examiner featured this headline: “Report: Ex-DACA criminals, gang bangers go free.” And recently some studies from conservative researchers have come out to give more substance to the association these stories attempt to make — that DACA and crime are somehow connected.


What we’re seeing from the right isn’t a policy argument about DACA or legalizing DREAMers. DACA doesn’t shield immigrants who’ve committed crimes. Immigrants aren’t eligible for DACA if they’ve committed a felony or significant misdemeanor, or three misdemeanors of any kind. DACA recipients who commit crimes can be stripped of their protections and deported. 


Instead, it’s an attempt to undermine the public narrative that DREAMers, as a generation of immigrants, are already contributing to American society and that they’re people Americans should be proud to call their own.

The new studies bolstering the myth of the DACA criminal

Traditionally, the association between unauthorized immigrants and crime has been logical — people who flout “the rule of law” to come to the US must not respect it generally. Or it was based on the understandable misapprehension that it’s a federal crime to live in the US without papers.
Those implications allow conservative politicians and media outlets to lift up individual crimes committed by unauthorized immigrants, and specifically DACA recipients, without saying outright that they represent deeper criminality. 


When DACA was in full effect, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the hawkish chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, used to send out occasional press releases about individual immigrants with DACA getting charged with particularly serious crimes, like murder and child molestation. Ostensibly, Grassley lifted up those cases to ask the federal government why such immigrants had been approved for DACA to begin with. They also drew a connection between the “unlawfulness” of DACA itself (an “executive amnesty”) with lawlessness: a willingness to ignore or tolerate violent crime.


But anecdotes were all the hawks had to go on. Research consistently shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens do; while there’s less research specifically on unauthorized immigrants, what information there is suggests they, too, are less likely to commit crimes than their US-citizen peers. 


Due to a pair of recent studies, though, the association between DACA and crime now has some data behind it — or at least, there’s data that can be framed that way. 


First, in January, was a study of 33 years of Arizona jail and prison records from the conservative criminologist John Lott, who’s best known for a splashy 1997 study called “More Guns, Less Crime” that has since been pretty conclusively debunked (and for inventing an online pseudonym to defend his own work from the criticism).


Over that time, Lott found, immigrants who were “deportable” made up a disproportionate share of the people who were convicted of crimes and incarcerated, relative to their share of the Arizona population as a whole — suggesting that they might, in fact, commit crimes at higher rates than American citizens. And young deportable immigrants were the most overrepresented in Arizona’s prisons: Deportable immigrants “between 15 and 35 make up 2.27% of the total population and 7.94% of convicts,” Lott wrote.


Lott’s core thesis — that unauthorized immigrants are in fact more likely to commit crimes than other groups — is itself a little shaky. There are some questions about the reliability of the Arizona data Lott used. (A small but nonzero number of prisoners show up in the data as US-born but not US citizens, for example, which is all but impossible.) 


There are much bigger questions about whether Lott is interpreting that data accurately. He says his data shows high incarceration among “illegal immigrants,” but the actual term in the records is “deportable” — a category that includes both unauthorized immigrants and legal immigrants who’ve lost their legal status, often because they’ve been convicted of certain crimes. 


But when it came to drawing conclusions, Lott and others didn’t stop at the provocative but shaky thesis about unauthorized immigrants and crime. They zeroed in on the data about young unauthorized immigrants — and called them “DACA-aged illegal immigrants,” implying that DACA was offering cover to large numbers of criminals. 


“If the goal of DACA is to give citizenship to a particularly law-abiding group of undocumented immigrants, it is accomplishing the opposite of what was intended,” Lott wrote.


The idea picked up steam in the conservative media, and even among some politicians: Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) garbled Lott’s study in a Facebook post, warning that “DACA-aged illegals” commit 30 percent of kidnappings in the state.


The other recent study that’s been used to bolster the link between DACA and crime, a report on MS-13 published last week by the hawkish Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), barely mentions DACA at all. The report compiles more than 500 cases in which MS-13 members have been indicted for crimes in the US, and blames lax immigration enforcement for the gang’s recent resurgence — even though it acknowledges that “a smaller percentage of MS-13 members is believed to be here illegally” than was the case during the gang’s last heyday in the mid-2000s. (At least a quarter of the MS-13 members cited in the CIS report are unauthorized immigrants; many of the others didn’t have their immigration status specified in news reports.) 


But CIS doesn’t claim that those immigrants are DACA recipients. If anything, it blames the mid-2010s wave of unaccompanied alien children from Central America — and the Obama administration’s policies toward those children, which CIS sees as too lax — for reimporting MS-13 to America. Those immigrants aren’t eligible for DACA at all, since the program requires applicants to show that they’ve been in the US since 2007, years before the wave of unaccompanied children began.


CIS reports that more than 100 of the MS-13 members it found came to the US as unaccompanied children. It doesn’t even bother to say anything about how many are DACA recipients. The only specific mention of DACA in the report is of a DACA recipient (and professed MS-13 member) who claimed he was directed to take advantage of Obama’s policies to bring fellow gang members in as unaccompanied children.


But even if CIS deliberately steered clear of linking DACA with MS-13 themselves, conservative media outlets were happy to do it for them: The Tucker Carlson segment that linked MS-13 to DACA used the study as the peg and interviewed the study’s author, Jessica Vaughan.

It’s easy to avoid a tough conversation about integration and opportunity

Most people don’t know the ins and outs of immigration policy. They don’t know that DACA requires applicants to pass background checks and show documentation proving they’ve been here since 2007. They might not even know DACA requires individuals to apply at all. Nor do they know that, as a matter of policy, DACA has nothing to do with the MS-13 street gang


That haziness about immigration is what the right is seeking to exploit. Even when Lott’s boosters acknowledge that DACA itself isn’t available to people who’ve committed crimes, they lean into the idea that no one really knows whether immigrants have committed crimes or not — turning a “don’t know” into a “can’t know.”


In National Review, Peter Kirsanow wrote that because crime in immigrant communities often goes unreported, it’s totally possible that DACA applicants could have committed crimes that wouldn’t show up on their records; the inescapable conclusion is that no background check could possibly root out the criminal element among the DREAMers.


While the Americans who are skeptical of immigration don’t draw a strong distinction between legal and unauthorized immigrants, the idea that unauthorized immigrants broke the law (or, as the term “sanctuary cities” implies, are living outside it) makes it easy for immigration hawks to connect unauthorized immigration in particular to crime. Both DACA and MS-13 appear in news stories about immigrant young people and “illegality” — so surely there’s a reason they’re both in the news at the same time, right?


This is the kind of casual lack of understanding that led, say, NPR’s Terry Gross to ask the New Yorker’s Jonathan Blitzer (one of the best US-based journalists on MS-13 and Central American immigrants), “If DACA is extended or if DACA is totally canceled, what impact would that have on MS-13?” 


The answer, as Blitzer politely pointed out, is: “There is no relationship between DACA and MS-13.”
This isn’t to say that the positive stereotype of the “valedictorian DREAMer” tells the whole story, or that there aren’t social problems facing DREAMers and young immigrants (and children of immigrants). The US-born children — the “second generation” — of immigrants (specifically black and Latino immigrants) are often less educated and earn less money than their parents. They’re more likely to be single parents or have kids young, and they are, in fact, more likely to commit crimes.
Sociologists call it “negative assimilation.” And there’s reason to worry about it; the National Academy of Sciences, in its sweeping 2015 study of immigrants in the US, identified negative assimilation as one of the biggest concerns for the long-term well-being of both immigrants and their descendants and America more broadly.


We don’t know what “causes” negative assimilation (and there almost certainly is more than one cause), and whether it says something about immigrants, America, or both.
But having a conversation about all this not only means accepting that the people already living here will stay here — it also means that America ought to care about them. From the perspective of immigration hawks, that’s exactly backward. Instead of believing that spending a certain amount of time in America makes a foreigner American, they’re concerned about the opposite: that parts of America have been inhabited by unaccountable foreigners and opaque to law enforcement for so long that they’ve become foreign enclaves on American soil.


That’s a fear that has long animated the right when it comes to immigration, and it is a fear that conservative media is all too eager to inflame."

The February Stats:


Locally of course nothing changes, the news is grim: Frontera reports the official PGJE number for violent deaths/executions for the month of February in Tijuana alone stands at 171 with the YTD total at February's end in Tijuana at 359.  You can read each individually here, where just this afternoon a Municipal Police officer was attacked in Villafontana - his condition said to be "delicate". UPDATE: The Police Officer shot is dead.

Of course,

Zeta - don't miss the one about the man burned alive in Mexicali, they also note one executed in Real Del Mar across from SADM, another in Tecate, more in Ensenada including one this evening of a man shot in front of his family inside a restaurant in El Sauzal. (Noticias del Dia)

Noteworthy, one man shot in the San Ysidro POE lanes going up to the States in February - his condition was reported to be critical.

On the Scenic Hwy, another body located down the road on the Scenic Hwy inside of a vehicle in front of San Marino.

I Love These Kids - Scheduled Anti-Gun Demonstrations In USA - 02/20/18 Update: Frontera Reports 92 Executions in TIJ this Month - More Damage @ SADM Due To Sewage From TIJ Being Dumped Into The Ocean On Isla (Where the Ricos Live)

Flags were at half mast up in the States today, I spoke with several people in the stores which were crowded because of the Holiday who in essence felt the USA was in big trouble - as one said to me, "...we are in a world of shit."

The big story are the kids who are standing up to one of America's most powerful and dangerous mafias, the NRA. It is Biblical, like David and Goliath. So far, not much coverage of this aspect locally:





Here is the latest from the Washington Post:

"Linda Finkel-Talvadkar, 66, an original member of the group, said the youths’ passion mirrors that of students in her generation who took to the streets demanding an end to the Vietnam War.

“That resulted in policy changes and a president not running again, so definitely these young people have the power to create the change we want to see,” she said. “They are our future, and our hope lies with them.”

As far as the gun violence locally, we are inching our way up to almost eighty people dead in Tijuana this month including a shoot out at the Soler turnoff which affected traffic on Avenida International, another body dumped on the Scenic Highway by Punta Bandera, burned and decapitated bodies;  Frontera has been reporting the killings in Rosarito and Zeta has been keeping up with those in Mexicali and many in Ensenada.

 More public information on the ocean pollution here at SADM from Frontera, where the deluxe houses on Isla are in peril due to erosion from uncontrolled sewage dumping coming from behind us with lax infrastructure.

As far as gringos coming down like they used to in the old days over the weekends, we just do not see it, they are not coming down period.  So, it is depressing, you cannot even go to the beach.

Revised Execution Stats For January, 2018 - Federal PGR Agent Beat Up & Kidnapped - Tijuana Municipal Police Supervisor Assassinated - Nunes Is a Dork !

Yesterday morning Frontera reported that the PGJE had revised their statistics to show that 188 people had been executed in Tijuana during January of 2018:

Frontera

Dos Crimenes Mas Despiden el Primer Mes
Por, Angel F. Gonzalez - 8:03am


For January 2018, Zeta breaks down the Municipalities, gives an overall Baja California number, stresses the women who have been killed and adds one more to the Tijuana total. I'll paste this for you:

Zeta
BC Cierra Enero Con 248 Homicidios, Entre Estos, de 26 Mujeres 

BC closes January with 248 homicides, including 26 women


"Baja California lives one of the most critical moments in violent acts. In the first 31 days of 2018, the number of intentional homicides reached 248.
 
Tijuana is in the lead with 189 murders -20 women-, the highest number in the last four months, as well as Ensenada, with 22 deaths, exceeds the number in the entire history of the port. Mexicali is followed by 16 violent crimes, Tecate with seven and Playas de Rosarito reported five.
 
Tijuana: between calcinados, decapitados and multihomicidios
 
In the last seven days, 46 people were deprived of life. Most of the attacks were shot, only one of them was perpetrated with a sharp weapon. In total, 20 women were murdered during the month.
Recent events include:
 
Saturday, January 27 In the General Hospital Armando Ramírez Vargas died, attacked by bullets in the Arboleda neighborhood a day earlier. A stranger, between 40 and 45 years old, was shot dead in the Campestre Murúa colony. The body of a calcinated male was located in a vacant lot in the Jardines del Rubí neighborhood. In Camino Verde, Ascencio Pérez Anaya, 43, was shot dead. A human head inside a blue colored backpack was found on Calle 9 and Avenida Internacional in the upper part of Colonia Libertad. To one side, there was a narcomensaje.
 
Sunday 28. A burnt person was found inside a Ford Crown Victoria cherry-colored vehicle in Cañadas del Florido. Two bodies without life were located in a house in El Florido; David Moreno López, 35, and a woman between 30 and 35 years old, the victims. Erick Corral Zavala, 21, was attacked with bullets in Real de San Francisco. Martín Ramírez Pela was killed by a firearm in a free taxi in the Imac neighborhood. In the General Hospital, a 45-year-old man died, who was previously shot in the North Zone. The bodies of Gerardo Salazar González, 35, and a 30-year-old woman were located in a Mercedes Benz vehicle at Hacienda Casa Grande. The corpse of a male, between 30 and 35 years old, was located in the Independencia neighborhood.
 
Monday 29. Three bodies without life - two male and one female - in a putrefying state were located at Kilometer 133 of the Tijuana-Tecate highway. In the Reforma neighborhood, Jesús Alberto López Rojo, 21 years old, was shot dead. Daniel Preciado Ramos, 30, died in the General Hospital after injuries caused by firearms in Cañadas del Florido.
 
Tuesday 30. A stranger between 25 and 30 years old was shot to death in the Civil Service Law colony. Graciela Uribe López, 64, was killed by a firearm. Mauricio Aguilar García, 52, died in the General Hospital after injuries by firearms received in the El Niño colony. Jesus Anaya, 21 years old, was shot in La Morita.
 
Wednesday 31. José Guillermo Ledesma Jiménez, 23, was murdered by firearm in El Florido. In an armed attack in the Obrera neighborhood, Sergio Segura Pérez, 26, died; Óscar Pérez Campos, 22; and Fernando Valencia Neri, 28. And in Cañadas del Florido, the lifeless body of Alberto Hernández Elviro was found.
 
Thursday, February 1. For injuries wounded by a knife, Jesús Ariel Valdovinos, 18, died in Torres Altas.
 
24 murders, the most violent month in the history of Ensenada
 
With 24 murders, January 2018 is positioned as the most violent month in the recent history of Ensenada, since there is a formal record of the killings by the Attorney General of the State and the Public Security Secretariat of the State.
 
At least since September 1998, when in a single incident the massacre of 19 people took place on the El Rodeo ranch, January of this year is the month with most intentional homicides in the port, ahead of October 2017 -with 22- and August of the same year -21-.
 
The rural area of ​​the largest municipality in the country is still the most violent. The region of San Quintín, to the South, and Valle de la Trinidad and Ojos Negros to the East, are the main scenarios for the execution and discovery of bones or bodies in a state of decomposition.
 
Only one youth of 18 years, identified as José Carlos "N", was arrested and charged with the 19-year-old Nataly Carreón González homicide, which took place on December 6, 2017 in the town of Francisco Zarco.
 
Mexicali, 16 homicides
 
A total of 16 murders were documented in the State Capital during January, three of these in aggravation of women, maintaining the constant of homicides that was registered during 2017.
Three of the murders are related to each other, and everything seems to indicate that this is a settling of accounts, the rest was for domestic reasons, except for one of them, in which a municipal police officer ended the life of a presumed thief who He threatened him with a gun.
 
Perhaps the most significant wave of crimes was the one registered in the week of January 15 to 21, where practically one murder per day was documented, and three were related to each other."

At 2017's year end, the US Corporate Media reported there were little to no attacks on the authorities, which we know just isn't so.  This report from Zeta describes the beating and kidnapping of a Ministerial Agent (Investigative Police of the PGR) just days ago:

Zeta
CAF-CJNG Secuestran a Agente Federal

"In the middle of the River Zone, in the vicinity of the Municipal Palace of Tijuana, an element of the Investigative Police of the PGR was deprived of liberty and beaten by six criminals who were arrested when they were going to leave him lying on public roads. The official report is that the rescue was carried out by his SEIDO colleagues without requesting support from local authorities. There are versions that refute the data of the Approved Police Report, presented by federal agents.
 
ZETA Investigations
 
The beating and kidnapping executed against a ministerial police officer of the Federal Agency for Criminal Investigation of the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which took place this week in Tijuana, aggravated the climate of impunity in Baja California.
 
The attack attracted the attention of the Deputy Attorney General for the Investigation of Organized Crime ( SEIDO ), agents focused on investigating the links of the six kidnappers detained by the attack, "all those involved are going to fall," they warned from inside.
 
Around three in the afternoon of Monday, January 29, the heads of all the law enforcement agencies operating in Tijuana and their intelligence areas received a call from elements of the SEIDO , requesting support; They were asked if any of them had a man who was identifying himself as an investigative agent of the Deputy Attorney's Office. The answer was negative.
 
Shortly after, the Preventive State Police (PEP) was required only as support in the Tijuana River Zone, at the height of the General Hospital, however, when they arrived, the elements of the Federal Ministerial Police were already withdrawing from the area, and they did not know more.
 
Moments earlier, federal ministerial police of the Federal Agency for Criminal Investigation of the PGR had rescued one of his colleagues inside a rehabilitation clinic located at 10851 Eusebio Kino Avenue in the Urban Zone Rio, Tijuana.
 
However, this version was refuted by lawyers of the owners of the property, who took the case before a judge to prove that the confrontation between individuals and elements of the PGR had occurred outside the clinic and had nothing to do with the The company, they even refer that there was a struggle between the police and some visitors and guards of the rehabilitation center that could have been confused with criminals. "A judge has already determined that the story told by the PGR is not real," said the company representative.
 
The agent who had been kidnapped shortly before has not been identified. According to the reports, he had severe blows to the head and face. Unofficially, it could be known that in the SEIDO they handled the version that when the criminals were arrested, they would throw the agent on public roads, assuming he was dead.


THE DETAINEES
 
In the operation, the federalists captured and presented six men to the Federal Public Ministry: Juan Alberto García Vaca, Ricardo Javier Escobar Galeana, Mauro Vega Granados, Alfonso Jiménez Evangelista, Ángel Iván Güereña Espinoza and Héctor González Flores.
 
The platform of criminals of the State indicates that García Vaca has a history of extortion and was imprisoned in 2011; Jiménez Evangelista was arrested for carrying a prohibited weapon in 2013; Vega Granados was imprisoned in El Hongo in 2002, but the crime is ignored; and González Flores entered prison in 2011 for crimes against health. Escobar and Güereña do not have a criminal record.
According to public data, Juan Alberto García Vaca promoted a trial in 2012 in the Sixteenth District Court:
"In the amparo trial number 189-2012-III, promoted by Raúl Armando Nava Miranda, Jorge Enrique Paredes Macías, Juan Alberto García Vaca, Israel Villanueva Ramírez, Francisco Rodríguez Galindo and Víctor René Sánchez Charolet, against acts of the Fourth Judge of the Criminal, based in this city, consisting of the order of formal prison of twenty-three of February two thousand and twelve, in the criminal case 681-2011, located in the Fourth Criminal Court, with headquarters in this city of Tijuana, Baja California ", but no more data are available for the determination.
 
According to the Approved Police Report, at the moment of being insured they were in possession of three short weapons and 500 grams of crystal , the crimes of which they are accused are illegal deprivation of liberty, crimes against health and against the Federal Law of Weapons.

OF THE KIDNAPPING
 
The data available indicate that when the investigative agent was kidnapped he was with another person and the criminals took both of them, but released the second victim, for which the investigators suspect that they " put it on ".
 
The first versions indicated that the investigator had been deprived of freedom in a restaurant at lunchtime, however, there was no emergency call or complaint to the Command, Control, Communications and Computing Center (C4).
 
Later data reported that the deprivation of the agent occurred in the vicinity of the clinic, where the officer ran into the criminals who had been warned that the SEIDO was investigating them.
