Gov. Jeff Landry spoke about it on national television this week and Kenner Police confirmed it: The city is seeing a crime problem it has linked to illegal immigrants and gangs


quote:

“In the city of Kenner, which is right next to New Orleans, the chief has already well-documented the fact that illegals in the City of Kenner are basically recruiting the young juveniles who came into the country, to basically become criminals,” Landry said.


quote:

“Ninety-five percent of them have intent -- they’re working, they’re being good community neighbors -- but there’s a percentage of them that come in here, they break the laws, they violate our communities, they’re obstructed to quality of life,” Conley said. “And it just seems to me that if they’re not in this country legally, we shouldn’t have to deal with them.”


quote:

“So, we’ve linked everything from stolen vehicles (to) property crimes, such as burglaries, the pulling door handles. They’re all well-armed. They all have assault rifles. They all have the necessary ammunition.”

Conley said there are reports of guns being fired along some Kenner canals.


quote:

Kenner Police say some juveniles have racked up multiple felony charges, ranging from weapons possession and gun discharges to property crimes.

“It’s a challenge to us, because we can arrest that juvenile and they’re out the next day,” Conley said. “But as they get more and more brazen, our fear is it’s not going to be long before they take a life or kill a police officer.”

NEW ORLEANS Kenner Police announced a large roundup of 28 people they say had ties to violent street gangs, such as MS-13, Latin Kings, Frontline Soldado and Surenos, according to Kenner Police spokesman Lt. Wayne McInnis.

The individuals picked up during a three-day, multi-agency operation, involving local, state and federal authorities, and are facing criminal charges or deportation, according to police. Of the gang members and gang associates arrested during the enforcement action that concluded today, 18 are from Mexico, six are from Honduras, three are from El Salvador and one from Guatemala,' said McInnis in an e-mail. 'Five individuals will be considered for federal prosecution for re-entry after deportation--a federal violation that carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison--fraud and misuse of visas and misuse of social security cards. Two other individuals face state prosecution on drug charges. Those foreign nationals who are not being prosecuted on criminal charges are being processed for removal from the United States.'

Thanks, federal government.

Do progressives really not want to live in a safe, nice country?
It’s crazy.

Jefferson Parish needs to bring the hammer down. Convictions and sentences that guarantee them a trip home at the end.

With no record of ever being here, it seems it would be easy to make them disappear if that’s what they wanted to do.

Gang activity by immigrants is a problem in Kenner, whether they have a peice of paper or not.

When immigrants were practically nonexistent in Kenner so was the crime.

If Texas can slow down illegals crossing Biden could if he actually wanted to do so.

It would help to go back to Trump policies of enforcing the law and also not allowing people passing through countries while not claiming amnesty in them to then get to our border and claim amnesty.

Pushing to remove the ones already here and build wall would also help.

I wondering what is going to come about with the new law in Texas and fed lawsuit. They have to 1st get past how they are making it a different type of state crime from what was decided went against fed law in the Arizona case as even in dissent Alito agreed with majority on that.

Some liberal states have gone against fed domain since Arizona by helping them avoid the feds. Arizona’s also had a provision making something else illegal that didn’t go against any federal law but was ruled to go against fed preeminence to decide - Congress not doing anything was in itself a decision which certain Presidents haven’t always followed since Arizona.

The law starts a conversation which I am told overrides anything wrong done…

If states can’t do anything then feds should be forced to do their job in law and in the constitution with invasions.
quote:

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas on Monday signed one of the harshest state immigration laws in modern U.S. history, authorizing state officials to arrest and seek the deportation of migrants suspected of crossing the border with Mexico illegally.

The law, known as SB4, gives Texas law enforcement authorities the power to stop, arrest and jail migrants on new, state-level illegal entry charges…

quote:

The offense is punishable by up to six months in jail, though a judge could order a defendant to return to Mexico in lieu of continuing with the case, as long as the defendant consents.

quote:

… Those who don't leave could face serious felony charges if arrested again. Those ordered to leave would be sent to ports of entry along the border with Mexico, even if they are not Mexican citizens. The law can be enforced anywhere in Texas, but some places are off-limits, including schools and churches.

… Republican lawmakers have rejected charges that SB 4 clashes with federal immigration law, arguing it deliberately “tracks the language of existing statutes” while exempting people who’ve been granted asylum and other forms of legal status.

Just heard this today. Williams looks like a 3rs world country, as does David Drive. We don’t need anymore Mexican, etc. restaurants. I also was told these foreigner businesses don’t have to pay taxes or get some sort of special break. Biden and the progressives are ruining our country. Hopefully, JPSO won’t put up with it if it comes to Metairie.

Seems like it’s time to take them for a ride to the train station vs the police station.
