Mara Salvatrucha, aka MS-13, is a Central American-based gang best known for the bizarrely intricate tattoos worn by its members and for killing people.

Especially for killing people.

So youd think that when an illegal-immigrant MS-13 gang-banger turned up in NYPD custody, the de Blasio administration would quick as a wink deposit him with the feds.

Not so. New York is a sanctuary city the mayor and City Council having embraced the contempt for law and custom that the term implies. So last week, MS-13 stalwart Estivan Rafael Marques Velasquez tap-danced away from Rikers Island following a short stint for disorderly conduct never mind that immigration enforcement officials had requested that he be turned over to them.

This man is by his own admission a member of a violent street gang, Thomas Decker, field office director for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit in New York, told Post reporters. Honoring a detainer request is not about politics, it is about keeping New York citizens safe.

Ah, but in New York, it certainly is about politics the were above the law sanctuary-city movement having devolved into another dreary vehicle for flipping the bird to President Trump.

Street gangs are nothing new to New York. But while classic gangs tended to avoid harm to innocents children in particular MS-13 targets them.

The gang has its roots in Salvadoran prison culture, but it has long since moved beyond that first hiring out as drug-cartel enforcers and eventually moving into the trade itself. Its appetite for casual, seemingly pointless violence has placed it in a category all its own.

On Monday, 26-year-old gang member Michael Christopher Mejia who sports both the trademark MS-13 face and neck tattoos and an appallingly long record of violent crime was charged with the murder of one Whittier, Calif., cop and the wounding of another. Just hours earlier, police said, Mejia had murdered a relative.

At a glance, this seems like just another garden-variety though tragic crime spree. And it certainly is nothing out of the ordinary for Southern California, which has long been in the gangs vicious grip.

But it does serve to underscore one undeniable fact: Where MS-13 goes, gross violence follows. Consider:

All of this is just scum off the top of the pond. Law enforcement officials are under no illusions about the MS-13 threat.

And so its impossible to believe that the NYPD is unaware of the danger and in any way condones the catch-and-release approach embraced by de Blasio & Co. regarding illegal aliens in general, and MS-13 in particular.

But good cops follow the orders of their elected superiors as they should and must who have developed an intricate list of offenses that merit the attention of federal immigration officers.

Being in America illegally isnt on the list, sad to say, and neither is disorderly conduct thus Marques Velasquez was kicked free last week. Happily, the feds swiftly scooped him up.

Indeed, left to their own devices, US Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents seem to sort things out rather quickly. Last week, ICE cops in New York corralled 40 illegal immigrants almost overnight and it turned out that, in addition to immigration violations, 95 percent of them had serious criminal convictions.

The bust horrified the usual suspects Shame on ICE! scolded the New York Immigration Coalition and no doubt the mayor disapproved. Also, MS-13.

But New York City doesnt need illegal-immigrant gang-bangers wandering its streets. Keep up the good work, ICE. Bob McManus is a contributing editor to the Manhattan Institutes City Journal.

Tucker Carlson was joined tonight by a civil rights leader who says that black males are disproportionately hurt by illegal immigration.

Peter Kirsanow, a member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, explained that black males are more likely to experience competition from illegal immigrants.

"It's Econ 101, Tucker. When you have an oversupply of labor, the price of labor is going to be depressed,"Kirsanow said, adding that there's a striking oversupply of low-skill labor.

He noted that this doesn't effect just black males, but all low-skilled American workers.

He said that black males, however, are disproportionately concentrated in low-skill labor markets, which is also where the bulk of legal and illegal immigrants over the past 20 years are concentrated.

"We're talking about, at the very low end, hundreds of thousands of blacks losing jobs, probably if you do the math, up to 1.2 million blacks losing jobs,"Kirsanow said. "This has significant, obviously, impacts on the black community."

He lamented that many on the left and many black congressional leaders have embraced the "open borders philosophy" that's done such damage to black employment prospects.

Watch more above, and see Tucker battle an anti-Trump protester who says the president is "more dangerous than Hitler."

Local police help for feds on illegal immigration? - Auburn Journal

During a discussion Wednesday morning on MSNBC, co-hostJoeScarborough claimedPresident Donald Trump has ablind spot on the issue of illegal immigration and attributed the wellbeing of the nations entire economy to undocumented aliens.

We have an economy, lets face it, we have an economy that is built on illegal immigration, Scarborough told Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, We have an economy that is built on that.

That phrase right there makes him sound more like a dictator in training.

The discussion was based on new memos issued by the Department of Homeland Security instructing border and immigration officials to ramp up enforcement. The enforcement guidance made clear the administrations priority targets arecriminal aliens with felony convictions.

But to Scarborough even a crackdown on newcomers at the border and the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants was too much. The MSNBC co-host instead suggested blanket amnesty for all theroughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the nation.

That is why I say why dont you just legalize it? Scarborough quipped.

Scarborough suggested many of the same conservatives who support Trump's immigration position have directly benefited from illegal immigrant labor.

"But the hypocrisy," Scarboroughsaid, "when we had Hurricane Ivan in 2005 you couldnt get insurance fast enough to fix up home. Guess who went up without workers comp. And fixed those homes?"

Brzezinski suggested Trump hasundermined the media to such a degree "that he can actually control exactly what people think." "And that is our job," Brzezinski claimed.

"Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts," Brzezinski added.

Scarborough responded with what has become a common Trump attack line from him,arguing Trump'sattacks on the media are similar tothe actions of the 20th century's brutal dictators.

"It's when he says the media is the 'enemy of the people,' where he sounds like Mussolini or Lenin," Scarborough said,"that phrase right there makes him sound more like a dictator in training."

The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday began rolling out President Trump's plans for a wider crackdown on people coming into the United States illegally.

The moves, outlined in a pair of memos signed by DHS Secretary John Kelly, include an end to the policy of releasing people caught at the borders pending deportation hearings, hiring thousands more federal agents, sending more judges and officers to deal with asylum claims, enlisting more help from local police and speeding up removal proceedings for a larger number of people who are in the country illegally.

The memos also recommend authorities seek prosecution of parents who pay smugglers to bring their children into the United States decisions that will ultimately be made by federal prosecutors.

Kelly's memos are nearly identical to executive orders signed by Trump last month as part of his campaign promise to take a harder line on illegal immigration. The memos add detail on how the new priorities will be carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

These moves are separate from Trump's ban on travel from seven majority-Muslim countries, which is has been blocked by federal courts and could result in a newly written executive order this week.

The memos largely override previous orders from former President Obama.

But, significantly, the memos leave two orders in place: one concerning young people who came to the United States as children but were allowed to stay, known as "dreamers," and another that allows parents to to stay in the country if they came here illegally to join their U.S. citizen children. The second, however, has been blocked in federal court.
