#ncpol: Cooper, his nutty followers side with illegal alien criminals
It is absolutely astounding that a major political party in this country is openly advocating the obstruction of a federal law enforcement agency’s work. It’s even more astonishing that Governor Roy Cooper – our state’s most recent past chief law enforcement officer – is taking a leading role in this obstruction.
Leftists have made it their mission over the years to hammer home the importance of respecting the federal government. We fought a war over that question in the 19th century. In the 1950s and 60s, leftists hammered home the message that the federal government’s mandates on civil rights had to be followed to a tee.
Fast forward to 2019, and we have leftists comparing a federal law enforcement agency — ICE — to Hitler’s Gestapo. Leftists are openly calling for resistance to ICE — the agency charged with protecting our national borders and enforcing our immigration laws. Leftists in Wake and Mecklenburg counties have even elected sheriffs who openly pledged to not cooperate with ICE. If ICE alerts either of those departments that they have a person of interest to ICE in custody, the local sheriffs will refuse to hold the suspect until ICE can arrive.
Imagine. A sheriff who can pick and choose what laws he will or will not enforce. I sure thought we confirmed that as a bad idea in the 1950s and 60s.
Well, the General Assembly has passed legislation mandating that sheriffs cooperate with ICE or risk being removed from office. Ol’ Roy has vetoed that bill, suggesting that it “divides North Carolinians.” (I don’t believe we’re talking about North Carolinians here. It’s more like a lot of Mexicans, Guatemalans and Hondurans who sneaked across the border and are likely partaking in identity theft and not paying taxes. )
ICE, interestingly, called out the radical leftist nut Mecklenburgians elected sheriff:
Cooper and his fellow nuts want to demagogue and play politics with our safety and national security. Here’s ICE with plenty of cold hard facts to demonstrate just how foolish our governor and the Mecklenburg County sheriff truly are:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested fugitive Oscar Pacheco, 33, a Honduran national, and repeat immigration violator during a targeted enforcement operation in Mecklenburg County August 9, nearly two months after the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office refused to honor an ICE detainer, or even notify ICE of the release, and instead released Pacheco from local criminal custody following his arrest on first-degree rape and indecent liberties with a minor charges.
By releasing a previously deported alien facing serious criminal charges, Mecklenburg County chose to release a serious public safety threat onto the streets of Charlotte where he was free to potentially harm others for nearly two months until his capture by ICE.
Pacheco was previously removed from the U.S. to Honduras in July 2006, and he subsequently illegally reentered the U.S. after deportation, which is a felony act under federal law. After the resolution of any potential federal criminal charges, he is subject to removal again to Honduras.
Pacheco was arrested by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for First Degree Rape and two counts of Indecent Liberties with a Child on June 14. ICE issued a detainer June 15, but the detainer was not honored, and Pacheco was instead released from Mecklenburg County custody June 16.
ICE’s Charlotte Fugitive Operations Team (FUGOPS) located and arrested the man without incident August 9 and he remains in ICE custody.
“This is yet another example of a clear public safety threat being released onto the streets of Mecklenburg County rather than into ICE custody due to the current sheriff’s policy on ICE non-cooperation,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Atlanta Field Office Director Sean Gallagher. “The Mecklenburg County sheriff’s decision to restrict cooperation with ICE serves as an open invitation to aliens who commit criminal offenses that Mecklenburg County is a safe haven for persons seeking to evade federal authorities, and residents of Mecklenburg County are less safe today than last year due these policies.”This arrest is simply the latest in a continuing list of unlawfully present foreign nationals released from Mecklenburg County custody over the past nine months despite serious criminal charges that pose a clear threat to public safety.

Only a flake like Pat McCrory could have lost to this guy. A tragedy for the people of NC.
This remnant son of the American Revolution says our current Governor needs to be ICED by Dan Forrest in 2020. There is no effective argument to the contrary that Gov Cooper is of a dangerous mindset. Dangerous to “we the people”.
I dont want my ancestors mad at me when I arrive to meet them. Run Forrest RUN!!!!
Browny Douglas
WE would not be having all these problems if McCrory was still in office! We can fight all we want to during the primaries, but we must have party loyalty during the general election. Please, let’s don’t savage the reputations of fellow Republicans.
We want to defeat the Dems! right?
Do the sane, common sense people of North Carolina need any more proof that Democrat Governor Roy Cooper does NOT have the safety of North Carolinians at heart? When the Democrat run Mecklenburg County thinks it is fine, and dandy to release an ILLEGAL ALIEN charged with rape, and child sexual abuse, back into the community then, ” Houston we have a problem “. It was bad enough letting pedophiles, and other sexual predators posing as transgender women, go into women`s restrooms to prey on young girls, and defenseless women. The Democrat Party has become the most anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Christian, immoral, perverted, twisted political party in the history of the United States. If it is allowed to spread, then California will look like the ” Garden of Eden ” compared to the rest of the nation. Roy Cooper wants North Carolina to look like California, wants the citizens of North Carolina to pay for free health care, free education, free housing, free food, for all of the ILLEGAL ALIENS that the Democrats want to come into the State. We will be taxed to death, lose our rights, and become the work mules providing all of the money for the Democrats, and their new voting class of illegals. We need an adult in the room, and that adult is Dan Forest. If we fail to do so, then North Carolina will not look as good as California, or Chicago, or Baltimore, it will look worse.
I really hope Lt. Dan is preparing some great campaign commercials to defeat this moron. It seems Ol’ Roy is going to do the exact opposite of common sense in every situation possible. Also, Lt. Dan needs to find some rural area(s) to bank a lot of 11th hour ballots to counteract the Derm’ factor when they “find” additional Cooper votes there. I would expect he needs to have at least 50,000+ ballots to find at 11pm election night.
All the Democrats in the legislature who were present voted to keep sanctuary counties. The political ads on this fiasco almost write themselves. This blunder can sink not only Cooper but lots of Democrat legislators.
Question, though, is why the NCGOP is MIA on holding a press conference on this issue.
Probably don’t want to offend their Jones Street paymasters who need the cheap labor these aliens provide.
Coy Roy Cooper and his Democratic cronies in the legislature have likely committed suicide and be defeated next year, due to this illegal aliens fiasco, letting men going in restrooms, and a lot of other perverted things they have passed.
