An illegal immigrant in New Jersey managed to get arrested for burglary twice last week after forgetting his correction center intake papers in the second burgled home, leading to his arrest during an in-progress third burglary.

Douglas Baudriz-Diaz was first arrested May 22 after a witness saw him break into a South Plainfield, N.J. home at 1:30 a.m. He arrived at Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center (MCACC) at 8:30 a.m., according to a press release posted on the South Plainfield Police Department Facebook page. Baudriz-Diaz was released without bail later that day due to a January Bail Reform Act passed in New Jersey.

With the old bail guidelines, he would have been held in the MCACC with a bail between $10,000-$50,000 due to the degree of his charges, the police report said.

Police called the illegal immigrants release unfortunate.

Intended to lessen the strain on New Jerseys prisons, the January bail law created a risk assessment tool to determine if a defendant is likely to either not appear for trial or commit another crime. Offenders deemed not likely are released. The assessment takes into account the offenders age, past convictions and whether the offense was violent, among other factors. It doesnt consider race or ethnicity, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The assessment apparently also ignores immigration status, as Baudriz-Diaz was being held on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant due to being in the country illegally.

Police said he is suspected of four other burglaries in the South Plainfield area.

Illegal Immigrant Robs More Homes After Getting Released On New Bail Law - The Daily Caller

TOWSON, Md.

The Baltimore County Council is taking up a controversial measure that takes aim at sanctuary cities, which prompted a large protest Tuesday in Towson.

Democratic leaders in Baltimore County, activists and immigrant-rights advocates rallied outside the old courthouse to protest County Bill 32-17, which would require the Baltimore County Detention Center to screen for illegal immigrants.

"Ladies and gentleman, this is a time for real leaders to stand up against hate and bigotry," Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said. "Not only is this bill unconstitutional, it's Un-American."

The protesters called the measure flawed and racist.

"That is not the Baltimore County that so many of the friends and neighbors that are here today support and live and breathe every day," said Elizabeth Alex, a regional director for CASA. "I think the introduction of this bill on May 1 signaled for a lot of folks a red flag that this is not the country I want to live in."

The protest came a week after the Trump administration released its proposed budget that essentially rewrites federal rules in order to pressure so-called sanctuary cities to help enforce immigration laws. Jurisdictions that don't comply risk losing millions of federal dollars.

The protest was staged two hours ahead of a public work session on the legislation, which is backed by the three Republicans on the County Council, including Todd Crandell, who said the bill is modeled after ones already adopted in Frederick and Harford counties.

"The 287G program has been around since 1996, in various forms," Crandell said. "It's a model that's very simple, (there's) no cost to implement to the taxpayers of Baltimore County, and will increase the level of public safety in our communities."

Crandell said the bill calls for teaming up with federal officials to enforce existing immigration laws.

"This isn't about detaining people beyond a release date," Crandell said. "(It) simply

would train Department of Corrections officers in Baltimore County, in our detention center, to assess the immigration status of someone who has committed or allegedly committed a crime egregious enough to be placed in the Department of Corrections."

Crandell told 11 News that he currently doesn't have enough votes to pass the bill, let alone by a veto-proof margin. The county executive has threatened a veto.

The bill goes up for a final vote on Monday.

Bill would require jail to screen for illegal immigrants - WBAL Baltimore

Republican lawmakers are trying for the third time to pass an immigration bill that is considered a key issue for President Trump, reports The Hill.

Called 'Kate's Law,' it is named after 32-year-old Kate Steinle who was shot and killed on July 1, 2015, in San Francisco by an undocumented immigrant who had been deported multiple times, notes the Washington Times.

Democrats had previously blocked the bill in 2015 and 2016; last year, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid explained that the move had to do with the expense and burden of imposing what he called "unnecessary mandatory-minimum sentences."

The current Senate version of the bill, sponsored by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, requires "a 10-year maximum prison term for an alien who re-enters after being denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed on three or more prior occasions."

It also establishes "a 5-year mandatory minimum prison term for an alien who re-enters after being removed following a conviction for an aggravated felony or following two or more prior convictions for illegal re-entry."

The future of the Senate bill is uncertain, at least in part, because it has been folded into broader legislation involving border security.

As Lynn Tramonte, deputy director of the liberal group America's Voice, pointed out to The Hill, "...the more radical they make their bill, the less likely it is to pass."

Trump has maintained a hardline stance on illegal immigration since his campaign; he even invoked Kate Steinle's name during his speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination, notes KRON.

While her brother has spoken out against Trump's use of her name and his immigration policies, her parents are reportedly suing the federal government for a number of reasons related to her death.

Back in the early days of 2016, Donald Trumps eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reportedly reached out to John Kasich with a tantalizing offer: if Kasich dropped his own presidential campaign and joined the Trump ticket as vice president, he would be the most powerful vice president in historyin charge of all foreign and domestic policy while Trump, presumably, would play to his strengths as a cheerleader, browbeater, and mere figurehead. Just as he made his money licensing his name, Trump would focus his diffuse energies on making America great again.

Its an intriguing picture of a presidency that might have been if Trump werent so bad at delegating authority. And it could be at the forefront of Vice President Mike Pences mind as the Trump presidency sinks deeper into scandal. As his boss grapples with a stalled legislative agenda and growing worries of a 2018 midterm election bloodbath, the otherwise diminished, frequently forgotten Pence appears to be stepping into the spotlight as he strives to shore up a Republican field made increasingly vulnerable by Trump himself. With Republican candidates suddenly facing uphill battles in usually reliable red districts and states, Pence is preparing to tour the country this summer to stump and fund-raise. He has an appetite to fight, so hes going to get out there and fight on the presidents behalf, Pence strategist Nick Ayers told Politico.

Its an extraordinary move for a vice president to make alone, without the president, so early in an administration. But nothing about the Trump administration is ordinary. And with the word impeachment now being whispered through Capitol Hill, its a move that is sure to further fuel speculation that Pences whistle-stop tour is another portent of his planning for a possible post-Trump era. As my colleague Abigail Tracy reported earlier this month, some Republicans are open to the ideaand already maneuvering to protect Pence in the event that Trump, one way or another, doesnt make it to the 2020 finish line. I think some of them are doing some scenario planning, some of them just want somebody that they know speaks their language, Republican strategist Rick Wilson said. So a lot of them are protecting him and keeping him sort of a little bit above the fray because they would like to have a backup plan just in case. Pence has done little to tamp down the rumors, filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch his own PAC, the Great America Committeethe first time a sitting vice president has established his own independent political arm.

If Pence does have designs on his bosss job, hes keeping his cards relatively close to his vest. A source close to Pence dismissed the idea that Pences move signaled a presidential bid, telling NBC News, Dont read into 2020 as anything other than his running for re-election as vice president in 2020 and supporting other candidates. And Pence has remained unflaggingly loyal to Trump, rarely deviating from the script. While delivering the keynote at an anniversary gala of the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthonys List, Pence, one of the most ardent anti-abortion politicians out there, spent most of his time praising Trump and describing his views on abortion, Politico notes. If anything, Pence seems too out of the loop, purportedly misinformed or sidelined on details of Trump scandals, from the firing of Mike Flynn to the timeline surrounding the dismissal of James Comey.

If Pence does have post-Trump ambitions, he is smart to keep them under wraps. The president notoriously dislikes any hint that his underlings are outshining him, once rebuking Steve Bannon for not pushing back against the perception that he, not Trump, is the real power behind the throne. And as several political strategists told Politico, it just isnt in Pences nature to steal the spotlight. But in an administration that has little energy left over to protect the Republican majority in the upcoming midtermsand with a president who is likely too toxic to be an effective campaignerPence, a former congressman and a quiet party insider, may have a new sandbox in which to experiment with the scope of his power.
