it's no wonder why Chicago crime rate is high

[Outlook]

Local law enforcement agencies in Cook County, Ill., which encompasses Chicago, freed 1,070 illegal aliens in 2019, including many charged with violent crimes, in defiance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers.

These agencies refused to inform ICE even when they released criminal illegal aliens, the agency reported.

“Because ICE does not have access to standard Illinois law enforcement databases, it’s difficult to accurately account for all the aliens who have been arrested, released and committed additional crimes,” Lucero continued. “However, with the limited information ICE can verify, we know that police resources are being wasted, more people are being victimized, and it’s a matter of time until something more significant happens.”

Many times, law-enforcement agencies in Cook County would have to re-arrest illegal aliens after releasing them.

Two such examples are 50-year-old Rasheed Abass, a South African national, and 28-year-old Kennete Acevedo Ortiz, a Nicaraguan national.

Cook County-area authorities arrested Abass twice: once in June for indecent exposure and once in July for assault.

ICE lodged a detainer with law enforcement and requested notification upon Abass’s release, but local law enforcement refused to cooperate. Abass remains at large.

Cook County-area authorities arrested Ortiz three times in 2018 and 2019 for driving under the influence, domestic violence and failing to appear in court.

ICE asked local law enforcement, through a detainer, to transfer Ortiz to federal custody or notify immigration authorities upon his release. Cook County law-enforcement agencies refused both requests three times.

This is another example why the crime rate in blue cities are so high.

Yes, the crime rate is so high because of crimes committed by unauthorized immigrants.

But we already have many violent criminals who were born here and whose families have lived here for generations and generations.

This isnt the reason crime rates are high in Chicago. the reason crime rates are high is that several parts of the city...predominantly the Black American communities are impoverished and have had no investment in real education and job growth. Poverty breeds crime and violence, regardless of racial make-up. Similarly...there are parts of Chicago with majority black American families that are NOT suffering the same problems places like Riverdale, Englewood, and Washington Park do. Families in those communities often send their kids to charter schools like Urban Prep Charter Academy...some of which have had extraordinary success rates in both graduation and college scholarship.

I'm sure illegal immigration in the Cook County area contributes to some problems...but historically they are not the source or cause of crime and violence in Chicago.

Deporting criminals also sends a message into the community: be a good citizen or you aren’t going to be here long. Is that asking too much?

One can only wonder why our leaders live behind walls with armed guards and personal drivers.

I can never understanding the argument that because Americans commit crimes, it's okay to justify illegals who commit violent crimes.

Neither do I.

Drunk idiot police chief, idiot for mayor and crooks for alderman. Chicago is a landfill.
