LA Race War: Hispanic Gang Member Sentenced in 2014 Fire Bombing

“The defendants in this case perpetrated hate crimes that targeted innocent victims in their homes simply because of their skin color.”

(Acting Central California U.S. Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison)

In a recent post I highlighted an interview by Los Angeles radio personality Jesse Lee Peterson of a Washington DC libertarian lobbyist, Alex Nowrasteh, in which Peterson told the open borders pusher that illegal aliens from south of the border attacked and made life miserable for American inner city blacks.

Peterson says illegal aliens are “destroying black communities” while Nowrasteh says race relations between “new Americans” and blacks are going well.

For years I have been hearing about how ‘new Americans’ of all stripes were making life harder for struggling blacks as the immigrants and refugees pushed their way into traditional African American neighborhoods.

Here is corroboration of Peterson’s allegations that Nowrasteh didn’t want to believe.

After all, everyone knows that minority groups naturally love each other in the great American (mythical) melting pot, right?

From Courthouse News Service (hat tip: Cristina):

LA Gang Member Gets 16 Years for Firebombing Black Homes

(CN) — Carlos Hernandez, ranking member of the Big Hazard street gang, was sentenced Tuesday morning to 192 months in federal prison for his role in orchestrating the 2014 firebomb attacks in Los Angeles that targeted African American families.

Hernandez, 36, also known as “Rider” and “Creeper,” was sentenced nearly seven years after he and several other Big Hazard gang members arranged a plan to firebomb several apartments at the Ramona Gardens housing complex in Boyle Heights with the intent to target African Americans and force them from their homes in the dead of night.

According to court documents, Hernandez led a team of seven gang members on May 11, 2014 – Mother’s Day – to the housing complex in the middle of the night to attack four separate apartments, three of which were occupied by African Americans. After Hernandez divided the gang members into groups and armed them with lighters and hammers, as well as arming himself with a semiautomatic handgun, the gang threw lit Molotov cocktails into the occupied apartments.

In one of the attacks, a mother with a sleeping infant on her chest only just missed being hit directly by one of the explosives after she rolled onto the floor upon hearing the window shatter.

“The defendant planned, coordinated, and led these racially-motivated attacks that targeted vulnerable families, including grandparents and infants, while they were sleeping peacefully in their own homes,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pamela S. Karlan of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement.

Well-planned attack

Law enforcement officials determined that this plan was by no means a random assault. Hernandez made sure that all of his members were masked to conceal their identities and had all ditched their cell phones prior to the attack to avoid being tracked. The group even traveled to the L.A. complex using a preplanned route that kept them clear of surveillance cameras.

Hernandez managed to cover the group’s tracks so well that the case went unsolved for two years following the firebombing before law enforcement managed to determine who was behind it. Once caught, all of the gang members in the case admitted to police that they went out of their way to specifically attack African American families and wanted them to move away from the complex, which receives federal funding.

[….]

Acting Central California U.S. Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison said the sentence should serve as a reminder that the federal government will continue to prioritize bringing to justice those who would engage in these kinds of violent and racist acts.

“The defendants in this case perpetrated hate crimes that targeted innocent victims in their homes simply because of their skin color,” Wilkison said. “These despicable acts are simply unacceptable in our society.

And, see that later in 2014, the feds busted the Big Hazard gang. The UK Daily Mail covered the story.

Trump was Right! Jihadists Attempting to Get Across our Southern Border

03/23/2021 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ 7 Comments

Writing at the Center for Immigration Studies, author and expert on how terrorists seek to exploit our weak borders, Todd Bensman, reports on a stunning admission by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee last week. In 2019, Trump was right when he said terrorists are attempting to come across our borders.

If the invading armies of teenaged males aren’t enough to damn Biden and Harris border policies, this should seal the deal.

From the Center for Immigration Studies:

DHS acknowledges that suspected Islamic terrorists are crossing the southern border

Just so you know, Mayorkas served on the Board of Directors of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, a major federal refugee contractor, prior to his role as Biden’s head of the Dept. of Homeland Security. **https://www.hias.org/blog/opinion-biden-appointee-who-carries-jewish-story-itself**

“U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week asserted that suspected Islamic terrorists can and have crossed the porous southern border for years, a claim that major media organizations and lawmakers widely pilloried as a fear-mongering falsehood when President Donald Trump and his administration made the same claim in 2019.

Mayorkas’ comments that migrant suspects on U.S. terrorism watch lists cross the border came amid the latest round of controversy about the terrorist infiltration claim, which began when a delegation of 13 Republican lawmakers, returning from the border, relayed that Border Patrol agents told them that three Yemeni migrants and a Serb on the U.S. terrorism watch list had been apprehended since October.

Major media such as ABC News and the Washington Post quickly published stories, largely featuring Democratic lawmakers and self-described border security experts lashing out at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other delegation members as lying and re-disseminating a disproven conspiracy theory.

“Weird as the Chairman of the subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations and a border state member of Congress haven’t heard anything about this,” tweeted Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Democrat who represents the Phoenix area. “Gonna ask for a briefing. Pretty sure he is either wrong or lying.”

“The notion that the Southwest border is open to terrorists is ludicrous,” Alex Nowrasteh,*** the director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, told ABC News, for instance.

“The government has shown no evidence that terrorists use the Southwest border to get into the United States.”

But all such talk disappeared mid-stride after a routine weekly U.S. House Homeland Security Committee hearing Tuesday March 16. During it, the Democratic DHS appointee Mayorkas acknowledged that suspected terrorist migrants routinely travel to the southern border. The remarks were stunning in that they came from the Democrat side of the aisle, rather than the usual Republican side.

**https://www.toddbensman.com/americas-covert-border-war/**

“A known or suspected terrorist — KST is the acronym that we use — individuals who match that profile, have tried to cross the border, the land border, have tried to travel by air into the United States, not only this year but last year, the year prior and so on and so forth,” Mayorkas testified.

Mayorkas then issued another remarkable revelation. He disclosed that the American homeland security establishment has fielded a “multi-layered security apparatus” that has been in place at least since the 9/11 attacks to catch and neutralize the heightened threat of this category of land border-crossing migrants from countries of terrorism concern.”

More here plus links to background information.

*** Libertarian ‘think tanks,’ like the CATO Institute, are openly open borders.

In 2015, Nowrasteh argued in an op-ed at The Hill for the US resettlement of Syrian refugees. It is all about the free flow of (cheap) labor that the Koch Brothers and other globalists promote.

I found this 2019 interview with the clever and cagey Jesse Lee Peterson very amusing. Hope you do to. The discussion about the southern border begins at about the 27 minute mark.

Peterson says illegal aliens are “destroying black communities” while Nowrasteh says race relations between “new Americans” and blacks are going well. (I think POC stands for People of Color. Is that right?)

Pro-Immigration Church Awarded $1 million from Tyson Foods

09/23/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ 5 Comments

Grants are “given to organizations that are advancing the cause of lasting change for our society.”

(Tyson press release, September 1, 2020)

If you have followed Refugee Resettlement Watch for the last decade you know that Tyson Foods is one of a handful of BIG MEAT companies with global reach that depends heavily on low-skilled migrant workers for a constantly overturning workforce.

And, while we are all focused on the election, the Chinese Virus and burning cities (as we should be!), pro-immigrant churches (the religious Left) and other non-profits are continuing their quiet work of changing America by changing the people.

For more than you ever wanted to know about Tyson Foods, go here at RRW.

Earlier this year the Tyson Foods plant in Logansport, Indiana was closed due to a huge percentage of the workforce testing positive for the Chinese Virus. **https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nearly-900-workers-tyson-foods-plant-indiana-test-positive-coronavirus-n1197776**

Now this, from the Wesleyan Church:

Immigrant Connection receives $1 million corporate donation

Tyson Foods announced on September 1 that Immigrant Connection (IC), a nonprofit affiliated with The Wesleyan Church, was one of five organizations “advancing the cause of lasting change for our society” awarded $1 million. The Equal Justice Initiative, The Executive Leadership Council, The National Urban League and The Smithsonian were the other four. IC was the only organization voted a recipient by Tyson Food team members.

Wow! Zach Szmara has a direct pipeline to God

“Apart from God, this is utterly unimaginable,” said Immigrant Connection Director Rev. Zach Szmara. “To even be in the same conversation as organizations like The National Urban League, The Executive Leadership Council, The Smithsonian and The Equal Justice Initiative is a witness to two profound truths I have learned — God has favorites, and immigrants are one of his ‘favorite four’ (the poor, the widow, the orphan and the foreigner living among us).

God absolutely loves seeing the marginalized lifted up in counter-cultural ways so he receives all the glory that he is due.”

An employee at Tyson Foods, which has a plant in Logansport, Indiana, where Szmara also pastors The Bridge Church [see photo above about the plant closure there—ed], relayed to Szmara that he has “never encountered anything like Immigrant Connection” — that IC is doing important work that is needed and is making a difference.

Twenty-one IC sites have been launched in Wesleyan churches within the U.S. since its inception in 2014. Two new locations are pending approval as IC sites with the U.S. Department of Justice.***

More than 8,000 immigrants from over 125 countries have been assisted through IC which has become the largest Protestant church-based immigrant legal aid organization in the United States.

***I did not know what this was about: “approval” from the DOJ? So I looked around and found that the US Department of Justice has an entire branch that helps immigrants connect with legal services, see here. I suspect there is federal grant money involved as well.

Pelosi Removes Draconian Homeland Security Funding Provisions from Bill

07/31/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ 3 Comments

NumbersUSA says she blinked.

By the way, if you don’t follow NumbersUSA, you should because they do cover the often tedious goings-on on Capitol Hill. I’m posting this bit of news here because I want to refer to it in a post at RRW shortly.

Here is what Numbers reported in an e-mail last night. See why she pulled the funding measure.

Pelosi Blinks

Good news! House Democrats have pulled funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a spending bill. This is good news because Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee planned to use Homeland Security funding to impose extremist immigration provisions.

Too funny! Have you noticed that Miss Nancy coordinates her masks with her outfits?

Reportedly, Democrats from vulnerable districts didn’t want to have to defend the extremist, immigration-related provisions contained in the bill.

I list those provisions below, so you can see just how extreme they are. These vulnerable Democrats from more moderate districts balked because they knew we would be hammering them if they went ahead!

[….]

…we saw that even she just might temper the radicalism of some of her more extreme colleagues.

Here are some of the worst provisions of the bill that was pulled from consideration:

1) Would have limited ICE detention beds to 10,000, compared to a recent high of 55,000.

2) Would have prohibited detention of families, all but guaranteeing their release and encouraging future surges of family units at the border.

3) Would have prohibited the removal of aliens who have been given Temporary Protected Status but have since lost it.

4) Would have exposed more blue-collar jobs to foreign worker competition and called for an increase in temporary work visas, despite the tens of millions of Americans looking for work.

5) Would have drastically cut funding for immigration enforcement, and prohibited reallocation of funding.

In essence, the bill would have made it take far longer to remove illegal aliens, but at the same time, it would gravely restrict holding them. In short, the bill would have required something close to open borders.

[….]

Politico, the Capitol Hill newspaper, quoted a congressional staffer explaining why the bill was pulled:

“Front-line members raised serious concerns that the Homeland bill was a tough vote in swing districts because of its progressive provisions. At the end of the day, front-liners are our majority makers and there is no reason to force them to take a tough vote.”

Interesting admission about “front-line members.”

Are you in a district with a vulnerable Democrat? If so, find out where he/she stands on NumbersUSA’s immigration scorecard and exploit the bad scores you find there.

Biden Could Choose Atlanta Mayor with Soros Connections for VEEP Slot

06/13/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

“[R]evolution is not a one-time event.”

(Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms)

I’m sure you have heard the possibility elsewhere, but just in case here is a piece this week published at Liberty Nation about Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms who would fit the Biden ticket perfectly as a black woman who checks all the boxes—age (she is young), race, gender, geographic location.

And, definitely more attractive than her fellow Georgian Stacey Abrams! I can’t see ol’Joe nuzzling Abrams’ ear, can you?

See an AP story yesterday that does discuss Bottoms as a choice.

Dear Joe, Please pick Susan Rice for your running mate! It would be so much fun for those of us who followed her career with Obama!

Another option for Biden, says the AP reporter Julie Pace, is Susan Rice.

I would love to see that because Rice has a very checkered history with the Obama Administration that would surely create (fun) fireworks during the campaign.

Bottoms, I think, is a more difficult candidate for the Trump people to attack.

You might have seen her impassioned plea to looters and rioters to “go home” in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

Her connection to the Soros Open Borders agenda is one area of vulnerability.

America firsters worry about more migration to America, but so do many educated black voters who understand that more immigrants depress wages for all Americans at the lower rungs of society.

Could Atlanta’s Soros-Tied Mayor Bottoms Be Biden’s Pick For VP?

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has been making a lot of noise lately, and it looks like it might pay off. From her clash with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) over Coronavirus to her attacks against President Trump over the death of George Floyd, Mayor Bottoms has virtue signaled herself right into the national spotlight as a strong option for Biden’s running mate.

Radical Agenda

Bottoms is very much a progressive Georgia politician in the same mold as Stacey Abrams, the former state representative who narrowly lost to Kemp in the 2018 governor’s race and is very publicly pining to be Biden’s VP choice. Throughout her tenure, Bottoms has taken an antagonistic approach against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to capture and deport illegal aliens in Atlanta and federal police operations in her city.

This is not mere policy for Bottoms, but a part of what she has described as a “revolution” at two forums hosted by agents of notorious globalist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

The Concordia Annual Summit is a yearly gathering of globalists with uniquely intimate ties to Soros. The progressive money lord first publicly discussed his infamous pledge to “invest” $500 million to support refugee resettlement at the group’s 2016 meeting. Bottoms appeared at a symposium at the 2018 Concordia Summit titled “Cities & the Private Sector Take the Lead for Refugees & Migrants.” Open Societies Foundation exec Dr. Colleen Thouez, who is listed as “Director, Welcoming and Integrated Societies ” on the OSF website, introduced the mayor. Immediately after Thouez handed the microphone over to her, Bottoms said the following:

“As we spoke this morning there is a quote from one of my favorite writers Audre Lord that kept playing in my mind, and it was that revolution is not a one-time event. And I think of that often, especially in the work that we are doing throughout our various cities in ways that may seem to be small in scale but really are a part of a larger conversation and a larger revolution, if you will, as it relates to how we address our issues of immigration and migration.”
