Denver, Colorado - On Friday, Adam Meis from Denver posted on his Facebook (FB) account that the teens responsible for stealing his a white 05 F350 4 Door Long Bed Diesel Ford truck on September 10 have been identified after posting several photos on November 2 of the teens in his truck. Meis got surprised to a get a citation notice and several photos accompanying the notice showing three young male teens including the driver of the stolen truck in the front seat and a female teen in the back seat from the driver.

Apparently, the teen driver of the stolen truck ran a red light and the red light traffic camera snapped several photos of the teens in the truck.

Meis's FB post and photos of the teens went viral on the social network and meme's began to surfaced making fun of the teens, but in this case, dumb truck thieves. A police officer on patrol found the abandoned truck on September 14 in Lakewood just off W. Kentucky Ave. and S. Ames Street, according to Meis. Meis says, the teens had broken the door lock and ignition as well to start the truck, must have ran out of diesel fuel after a joy ride and then abandoned the truck.

Meis reported that an Edge evolution CS tuner was stolen from the truck.

Police continue to investigate the truck theft incident and with the photos of the teens in the truck and their identities provided by FB users, it won't take long for police to arrest the teens and charged them for the truck theft.

Meis is a freelance Sports TV and Broadcaster, according to his FB account.

Milwaukee, WI - On Saturday, Alfredo Daniel Montanez, 32, appeared in court to face multiple felony charges involving a shooting incident with police officers in September. Montanez was taken into custody at a Franklin motel on Tuesday in connection with shooting at Milwaukee police officers on September 26 after a traffic stop has been charged with four felony counts in the case, according to court records. The criminal complaint states that, Montanez fired a weapon multiple times at police and then fled the scene after crashing his vehicle near the 900 block of W. Cleveland Ave. Police recovered a .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun from the SUV and personal documents identifying Montanez including a court notice to appear for another case from the vehicle.

Police initially stopped Montanez at the 1300 block of W. Cleveland for several traffic violations and while being questioned by a police officer at the scene for an odor of marijuana coming from the interior of the SUV, Montanez decided to flee from the scene shortly after the officer also noticed a gun holster near the drive shift of the vehicle and warned another officer that Montanez had a weapon. 

Montanez was charged with 1st-degree recklessly endangering safety (if convicted, he is facing 12 years in prison and up to $25K in fines), possession of a weapon by a felon (facing 10 years in prison and $25K in fines), bail jumping (facing 6 years in prison and $10K in fines) and fleeing and eluding an officer (facing 3 and 6 months in prison and $10K in fines).

Anti-immigrant SB 275 Bill Passed By Wisconsin Senate Committee On Labor And Regulatory Reform

The anti-immigrant SB 275 known as the anti-Sanctuary City bill was passed by the Wisconsin Senate Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform.

Madison, WI - On Thursday, the Wisconsin Senate Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform (CLRR) passed the anti-immigrant SB 275 bill on a vote of 3-2, according to Wisconsin State Senator Stephen Nass's Office. The Republicans in the CLRR voted along party lines, in favor of moving forward  SB 275 to the full Senate floor were Wisconsin Republican State Senators Stephen L. Nass, Van H. Wanggaard and Frank G. Lasee. Those voting against the anti-immigrant bill were Senators Robert W. Wirch and Janise A. Ringhand, both Democrats.
The State legislature is expected to go on recess after Tuesday and the SB 275 bill has not been scheduled for debate on the Senate floor. The SB 275 bill will most likely come up for scheduling when the legislature reconvenes in January.

SB 275 passed the CLRR without any amendments meaning that it will definitely be challenged in a federal court for forcing state law enforcement agencies to break the law, if passed by the Republican controlled legislature and signed into law by Governor Scott Walker (R). 

The SB 275 bill is sponsored by State Senator Stephen L. Nass from La Grange, Wisconsin.

The SB 275 bill if approved by the State Senate would force law enforcement agencies to abide by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement  (ICE) detainers, which a U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled are not legal binding to hold someone without probable cause (Galarza v. Szalczyk 2014).

The Galarza v. Szalczyk (2014) federal case in Pennsylvania became a landmark decision to declare that ICE detainers are merely requests and had no legal standing. Ernesto Galarza from New Jersey who is of Puerto Rican decent and U.S. Citizen  was held illegally for three days in 2008 at the Lehigh County Prison over the constitutional limit due to a ICE detainer request. 

The SB 275 Relating to: prohibiting local ordinances, resolutions, and policies that prohibit the enforcement of federal or state law relating to illegal aliens or immigration status, authorizing certain elective officeholders to commence an enforcement action, providing a reduction in shared revenue payments (between $500 to $5,000 per day in penalties), and creating governmental liability for damages caused by illegal aliens.

A federal judge in California place an injunction on President Donald Trump executive order that threaten to cut federal grant funding to sanctuary cities, county and municipalities, if they refused to enforce federal immigration laws, which enforcement is reserved for the federal government and not the states. The New York Times reported in April 2017 that, federal "judge, William H. Orrick of United States District Court, wrote that the president had overstepped his powers with his January executive order on immigration by tying billions of dollars in federal funding to immigration enforcement. Judge Orrick said only Congress could place such conditions on spending.

"The ruling, which applies nationwide, was another judicial setback for the Trump administration..."

A similar bill to SB 275 is AB 190, which is still in the Committee on Local Government in the State Assembly. Both bills would have to be passed by the Republican legislature before Governor Walker can sign the bill into law. If that happens, it will definitely cost the taxpayers more than $10M to defend the Republican unconstitutional SB 275/AB 190 bill in federal courts.

In brief: Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) no longer uses the DHS-ICE I-247 detainer request form under the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP), DHS now issues several voluntary request forms, one is Form I-247N, a Request for Voluntary Notification of Release of Suspected Priority Alien. The Form I-247N requests the receiving local law enforcement agency (LEA) notify ICE of the pending release from custody of a suspected priority removable individual at least 48 hours prior to release, if possible. The Form I-247N does not request or authorize the LEA to hold an individual beyond the point at which he or she would otherwise be released. Additionally, on the Form I-247N, ICE must identify the enforcement priority under which the individual falls.

The second form is a detainer request issued by DHS, which is Form I-247D, an Immigration Detainer - Request for Voluntary Action. The Form I-247D requests the receiving LEA maintain custody of the priority individual for a period not to exceed 48 hours beyond the time when he or she would have otherwise been released from custody. On this form, ICE must identify the enforcement priority under which the individual falls, as well as the basis for its determination of probable cause. The LEA must also serve a copy of the request on the individual in order for it to take effect.

En español: Los republicanos del Senado del estado de Wisconsin en el Comité de Trabajo y la Reforma Reguladora el jueves votaron 3-2 a lo largo de líneas partidarias, a favor de avanzar el proyecto de ley SB 275 anti-Sanctuary City (copia al proyecto de ley SB4 de Texas, que ha sido impugnado legalmente en el tribunal por las ciudades de Cenizo, Houston y Dallas) al pleno del Senado. Los senadores estatales republicanos Stephen L. Nass, Van H. Wanggaard y Frank G. Lasee votaron a favor, y quienes votaron en contra del proyecto de ley antiinmigrante fueron los senadores Robert W. Wirch y Janise A. Ringhand, ambos demócratas.

La propuesta SB 275 de Wisconsin obliga ilegalmente a las agencias estatales de aplicación de la ley (policías locales y departamentos de alguaciles de condados, incluida la Patrulla Estatal de Wisconsin) a solicitar el estatus migratorio y cumplir (aceptar) solicitudes de retención (para detenciones) por parte del Servicio de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE), que en el caso de Galarza v. Szalczyk en 2014 estableció la precedencia de que los pedidos de ICE para detener a personas que creen (sospechan) de ser indocumentados no eran vinculantes jurídicamente.

El caso federal Galarza v. Szalczyk (2014) en Pensilvania se convirtió en una decisión histórica al declarar que las detenciones de ICE son solo solicitudes y carecían de validez legal. Ernesto Galarza, de Nueva Jersey, de nacionalidad puertorriqueña decente y ciudadano estadounidense, fue retenido ilegalmente durante tres días en 2008 en la prisión del condado de Lehigh por un límite constitucional debido a una solicitud de detención de ICE.

Hoy, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) de EE. UU. Ya no utiliza el formulario de solicitud de retención DHS-ICE I-247 bajo el Programa de cumplimiento prioritario (Priority Enforcement Program, PEP). DHS ahora emite varios formularios de solicitud voluntaria, uno es Formulario I-247N, una Solicitud para notificación voluntaria de liberación de sospechoso de prioridad presunta. El Formulario I-247N solicita que la agencia local de cumplimiento de la ley (LEA) notifique a ICE sobre la liberación pendiente de la custodia de una persona sospechosa de prioridad eliminable al menos 48 horas antes de la liberación, si es posible. El Formulario I-247N no solicita ni autoriza a la LEA para retener a un individuo más allá del punto en el que de otro modo sería liberado. Además, en el Formulario I-247N, ICE debe identificar la prioridad de cumplimiento bajo la cual cae el individuo.

El segundo formulario es una solicitud de detención emitida por el DHS, que es el Formulario I-247D, un Detención de Inmigrantes - Solicitud de Acción Voluntaria. El Formulario I-247D solicita que la LEA receptora mantenga la custodia de la persona prioritaria por un período que no exceda las 48 horas posteriores al momento en que de otro modo hubiera sido liberado de la custodia. En este formulario, ICE debe identificar la prioridad de cumplimiento bajo la cual cae el individuo, así como la base para su determinación de la causa probable. La LEA también debe entregar una copia de la solicitud a la persona para que surta efecto. 

Wisconsin State Senate Committee To Vote On Anti-immigrant SB 275 Bill Behind Closed Doors

Madison, WI - The Wisconsin State Senate Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform (CLRR) will conduct a closed door paper ballot whether to move forward with the anti-immigrant SB 275 bill known as the "Sanctuary City Bill" on Thursday, according to an announcement by the CLRR committee. The SB 275 bill is sponsored by State Senator Stephen L. Nass from La Grange, Wisconsin.

The SB 275 bill if approved by the State Senate would force law enforcement agencies to abide by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement  (ICE) detainers, which a U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled are not legal binding to hold someone without probable cause (Galarza v. Szalczyk 2014).

The SB 275 Relating to: prohibiting local ordinances, resolutions, and policies that prohibit the enforcement of federal or state law relating to illegal aliens or immigration status, authorizing certain elective officeholders to commence an enforcement action, providing a reduction in shared revenue payments (between $500 to $5,000 per day in penalties), and creating governmental liability for damages caused by illegal aliens.

A federal judge in California place an injunction on President Donald Trump executive order that threaten to cut federal grant funding to sanctuary cities, county and municipalities, if they refused to enforce federal immigration laws, which enforcement is reserved for the federal government and not the states.

Judge Orrick said only Congress could place such conditions on spending.

"The ruling, which applies nationwide, was another judicial setback for the Trump administration..."

Senator Nass's SB 275 bill was created as a copycat bill from Texas and based in an incident that happened in California involving the July 1, 2015 fatal shooting incident of Kathryn Steinle who was shot and killed in San Francisco by Francisco Sánchez, an undocumented immigrant who was a convicted felon who was previously deported five times by ICE. Nass blamed the San Francisco District Attorney's office for refusing to prosecute a drug charge. Sánchez was released by ICE after serving a third prison term for entering the country illegally. San Francisco is a sanctuary city.

What Senator Nass failed to understand is that the federal government including ICE failed to apply the stiff sentences for re-entering the country illegally. According to ICE, if a person enters the country illegally, the first violation is a federal civil offense, which a person gets deported at a cost of more than $10,000 per person, the second re-entry violation is a federal offense with a penalty of 5 to 10 years in prison and a third violation, an undocumented immigrant can get a federal prison term of 20 years in prison. So, who actually is at fault in the Sánchez case, it was the failure of the federal government and ICE including the U.S. Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security not to fully apply the law and prison terms for re-entering the U.S. and not the local, county of state governments as Senator Nass's argument to propose the SB 275 in Wisconsin attempts to imply.

Manhattan, New York - On Wednesday, Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, 29, of Tampa, Florida was charged by federal authorities with two federal counts for material support of ISIS, and violence and destruction of motor vehicles used to commit multiple murders. Authorities recovered a note from the Home Depot truck that he rented to plow into unsuspecting bicyclists and pedestrians at a bike trail in Manhattan.

Several cellphones were also recovered and authorities discovered videos of ISIS beheading victims and also ISIS tanks running over victims, which according to the feds, it inspired Saipov to commit a terrorist act. 

On Tuesday, Saipov was taken into custody after he was shot in the abdomen by a NYC police officer assigned to the area responding to a report that a truck driver had gotten into a bicycle/pedestrian path (trail) and struck multiple bicyclists and pedestrians at a busy West Side lower Manhattan bike trail and then crashing into a school bus. Saipov killed 8 bicylists and injured more than a dozen people at a bike trail just several blocks from the World Trade Center, acording to police. 

Saipov was taken to a local hospital for a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He is a permanent resident and is originally from Uzbekistan, according to federal authorities who joined the investigation with local police. Saipov legally immigrated to the U.S. in 2010 and holds a valid immigration green card.

Saipov apparently rented a Home Depot flatbed truck in New Jersey and used to strike bicyclists on Tuesday afternoon around 3:05 p.m., police reported. Witnesses at the scene say that he chanted in Arabic, "Allah' Akbar" which means God is Great when he exited the truck after crashing into a school bus. Two adults and two children were in the bus.

Milwaukee, WI - On Wednesday, a wrong-way driver going southbound on the northbound I-43/I-94 on the high-rise bridge on W. National Ave. around 3:45 a.m. was burned to death after the vehicle crashed head-on into a UPS semi-trailer heading northbound and caught fire, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Acting Milwaukee County Sheriff Richard Schmidt during a press conference described the incident at the high-rise bridge as "catastrophic" and that an off-duty police officer on the highway who stopped at the scene attempted to pull the unconscious driver from the vehicle, but flames forced him to fall back.

The unconscious driver and the vehicle were burned to the point that authorities are having a difficult time in identifying the deceased driver and the type of vehicle that it was.

The semi-driver who survived the crash told deputies at the scene that he noticed a vehicle coming at him head on without lights and couldn't swerve to avoid it because another vehicle was on the lane next to him. When the crash occurred, the UPS semi-trailer driver managed to exit the trailer with reported injuries to his knees and feet. Most of the packages in the UPS trailer were burned as well.

The high-rise bridge going northbound remained closed for eight hours during the investigation.

Sheriff Schmidt says, that 81 wrong-way incidents have been reported for 2017 in Milwaukee County and most involved drugs or alcohol except one when an elderly driver got into the highway the wrong-way by mistake.

Michelle Lavin Filed Lawsuit Against JetBlue Three Years After A Hot Tea Spilled And Burned Her Bottom

Lavin claims JetBlue "treated her like dirt", according to a recent lawsuit filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court.

Manhattan, New York - Michelle Lavin, 25, filed a lawsuit against JetBlue after an incident in 2014, where a cup of hot brim accidentally spilled on her and burned her bottom during the Labor Day weekend. Lavin was on a flight from NYC to Las Vegas and was wearing a seat belt at the time when she turned to look at several passengers arguing over a dog barking. When she complained to the flight attendants, they would only offer her ice and a aspirin.

In the lawsuit, Lavin claimed she received second-and-third-degree burns on her butt after bumping a tray and spilling the hot tea on herself. The flight attendant failed to secure the lid on the hot tea to prevent the spill and the hot tea was unfit for human consumption at the time, according to the lawsuit.

Lavin also had to pull her pants down to show the JetBlue flight attendants the severe burns on her butt because they weren't taking her seriously.
