The final day of a Texas state legislative session turned ugly when rowdy protesters showed up to speak out against the new state law banning sanctuary cities.

Republican State Rep. Matt Rinaldi called Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the protesters, some of whom carried signs saying they were illegal immigrants.

Democratic Rep. Poncho Nevrez and other Hispanic lawmakers were outraged.

Nevarez and Rinaldi engaged in a shoving and shouting match that collected several other lawmakers.

Nevarez allegedly threatened Rinaldi a number of times, saying he would "get him" on his way to his car.

"I'll put a bullet in your head," Rinaldi shot back.

He later said the 'bullet' comment was meant in self-defense.

Nile Gardiner, former aide to Margaret Thatcher said on "The Fox News Specialists" that Texas is leading the way in cracking down on sanctuary cities.

"The idea that you can have cities that violate the rules of the land ... is absolutely preposterous," Gardiner said.

Top terror prosecutor Andrew McCarthy disagreed.

"If they want to have a policy that's more open to people of questionable pedigree in terms of their legal right to be here, that's okay with me. I just don't want to pay for it," McCarthy said.

Shoving Match, Threats Explode in Texas Capitol Over Illegal Immigration - Fox News Insider

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) appeared on "Fox & Friends" this morning to discuss a proposed bill that takes aim at a program that protects illegal immigrants.

More than 300,000 illegal immigrants living in the U.S. are shielded under theTemporary Protected Status program.

Gohmert, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the program was started under former President George H.W. Bush with good intentions, but it was abused under the Obama administration.

He explained that it was intended to protect refugees fleeing war-torn countries, but it now essentially offers illegal immigrants de facto amnesty, as it allows them to repeatedly renew their temporary protected status.

He said we must force the countries designated for the program, including Syria, Yemen and Sudan, to take these individuals back, since those are hotbeds of radical Islamic terror that pose a threat to American citizens.

"They took a good program started underGeorge H.W. Bush for humanitarian purposes, and they turned it into a program that can be a way to hurt our country," Gohmert said. "And so it has to stop."

"This bill will force that to be reviewed and send people back that shouldn't be there," Gohmert said. "The bottom line is: If you're coming as a radical Islamist from a country that you've torn up with war, don't plan on staying to celebrate 9/11 in the United States."

A Washington Post piece describes the vast majority of sheriffs across the U.S. as being aligned with President Donald Trumps immigration enforcement measures:

A week ago Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that any city that refuses to share information with the federal government about immigrants could lose federal funding. Called sanctuary cities and states, these geographic entities resisting the Trump administrations efforts to increase immigration enforcement have gotten a great deal of news coverage.

But what about their opposites the local governments eager to enforce the new immigration mandates? County sheriffs, who are largely elected via popular vote, play an important and often ignored role in immigration enforcement and are more likely to support federal enforcement efforts than comparable local officials.

According to Mirya Holman with Tulane University and Emily Farris of Texas Christian University, 85 percent of sheriffs believe there should be more federal money spent on enforcing immigration and closing the U.S.-Mexico Border.

About 70 percent of sheriffs said they supported law enforcement being able to ask about a persons immigration status.

Although American sheriffs prefer Trumps immigration enforcement measures, the researchers found that they did not hold views that were personally directed towards immigrants, themselves.

While immigration arrests of criminal illegal aliens continue to rise under Trump thus far, the number of sheriffs signing onto federal-local agreements to cooperate with federal immigration agents has increased as well.

In sanctuary jurisdictions, like the New York City, the NYPD released nearly 180 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets in the first four months of 2017, Breitbart Texas reported.

WaPo: Sheriffs 'Enthusiastic' About Helping Deport Illegal Immigrants - Breitbart News

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.
