Democrat Leaders in Illinois Warn Illegal Aliens of Possible ICE Raids

Democrat leaders in Illinois urged illegal aliens to know their rights after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were reportedly seen in a Chicago neighborhood on Thursday.

“If @ICEgov tries to intimidate you or your family, know your rights,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker tweeted. “The state of Illinois refuses to coordinate with federal immigration enforcement. I signed a law ensuring local law enforcement does the same. We’re doing all we can to protect our residents.”

Byron Sigcho-Lopez, 25th Ward alderman, tweeted that his office had received reports of ICE agents approaching businesses and homes in the Pilsen area.

“We’ve confirmed these reports with the National Immigrant Justice Center,” he said.

The reports come after ICE agents arrested 680 illegal aliens in Mississippi this week, the largest single-state raid in U.S. history, Breitbart News reported.

The individuals were arrested at seven food processing plants across six cities including Bay Springs, Carthage, Canton, Morton, Pelahatchie, and Sebastapol.

“According to federal officials, some of the hundreds of illegal aliens arrested on Wednesday have already been ordered deported by an immigration judge and have refused to self-deport. Those illegal aliens will be quickly deported,” the report said.

A press release from the ICE website stated that the agency will investigate the individuals arrested on a case-by-case basis.

“In all cases, all the illegal aliens encountered as part of this operation are either being placed into removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts, and for those who already received due process and have been ordered removed, processed for removal from the U.S.,” the release said.

However, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) called on President Trump during an interview Thursday to stop the raids, comparing them to the tactics of the Nazi secret police.

“I think it’s unfortunate when ICE has to be made into this kind of agency and to be an intimidator rather than an agency that has in the past made sure that we are safe in this nation,” she said.

“But when their neighbors are rounded up in a vile way, when children are left unprotected, I’m disappointed. And the president and Stephen Miller need to stop these Gestapo tactics, and we need to work together to pass comprehensive immigration reform,” Lee concluded.

Hmm… Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead in Prison Cell After Trump Is Cleared in Probe and Top Democrats Are Implicated ONE DAY EARLIER

Over two thousand previously sealed court documents involving the Jeffrey Epstein child sex abuse case were released this week and are now available.

Cernovich.com reported on the highlights of these previously sealed documents on Friday.

Here are a few top revelations from the Friday documents.

** Despite the constant fake news by the liberal media that Trump was a top client of the convicted pedophile — the latest court documents cleared Donald Trump.

Zero Hedge reported:

Following a 2011 article by journalist Sharon Churcher claiming that Donald Trump was a “good friend of Jeffrey’s,” Guiffre was asked to clarify Churcher’s possible misquote that “Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s,” and that Trump “Didn’t partake in any” of — “any sex with any of us but he flirted with me.” 

“It’s true that he didn’t partake in any sex with us, and but it’s not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me,” said Guiffre.

 

And this was also revealed…

** According to one document Bill Clinton held a private party on Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile island.

** Former ‘Sex Slave’ Says She Met Al Gore Through Jeffrey Epstein’s Close Aide, Unsealed Docs Say

** And former Democrat leaders Senator George Mitchell and Governor Bill Richardson allegedly partied with Jeff Epstein on his island.

And then… Suddenly Jeffrey Epstein, the most high profile prisoner in US custody today, is found dead in his cell.
Funny how that worked out, huh?

The FBI and the DOJ IG are investigating Epstein’s death, Barr said.

Sen. Ben Sasse: ‘Inexcusable’ Epstein Not Under Constant Suicide Watch

It was “inexcusable” that deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein was not kept under constant suicide watch in his cell, said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) on Saturday morning.

“It is inexcusable that this rapist was not under constant suicide watch. These victims deserved to face their serial abuser in court,” he said in a statement.

“As a private matter, our house is praying for both Epstein’s family and the many women who were denied justice in this life,” he continued. “But as a matter of public policy, the government has failed these girls yet again.”

Breitbart News reported Saturday that Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell after he committed suicide by hanging himself.

Epstein had been charged on sex-trafficking-related charges in July.

On July 24, Epstein was found semi-conscious on the floor of his cell after an alleged suicide attempt. Authorities said they discovered “marks on his neck” but said his injuries were not serious.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called for answers on Twitter Saturday regarding Epstein’s death.

“We need answers. Lots of them,” she wrote.

Attorney General William Barr echoed Ocasio-Cortez’s comment Saturday in a statement and said he will be looking into the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.

The statement read:

I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death.

Jennifer Araoz, one of Epstein’s accusers, voiced her frustration about the recent events because she was hopeful his indictment would provide answers regarding the alleged crimes.

“I am angry Jeffrey Epstein won’t have to face his survivors of his abuse in court,” Araoz said. “We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed, the pain and trauma he caused so many people.”

“Epstein is gone, but justice must be served,” she concluded.

‘Blood on Their Hands’: Epstein Lawyer Blasts Prosecutors, Judges, Jailers, Media, Politicians and ‘Greedy Plaintiff’s Lawyers’ for Death of Client in Federal Custody

Marc Fernich, an attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, issued a blistering statement on the death of his client by an apparent suicide while in federal custody at the Manhattan Correctional Center in New York City early Saturday morning. Fernich blamed prosecutors, judges, jailers, the media, politicians and “greedy plaintiff’s lawyers” for Epstein’s death, saying they have “blood on their hands.”

Marc Fernich, Fernich Law promo photo.

Fernich said he was not speaking as a member of Epstein’s defense team, but as an “outraged citizen and defense lawyer”.

The statement has been posted by numerous reporters.

UPDATE: Text version of statement typed out below by TGP for our readers:

I speak as an outraged citizen and defense lawyer, not as a representative of Jeffrey Epstein’s defense team.

There seems plenty of blame to go around for this unthinkable tragedy.

Overzealous prosecutors bent on locking up a presumptively innocent man posing no real danger or flight risk.

Pandering politicians who wrote the restrictive bail laws that empower then to do it.

Compliant judges who let them get away with it while paying lip service to the presumption of innocence.

Jailers who appear to have recklessly put Mr. Epstein in harm’s way, heedlessly placing his life at risk and failing to protect him.

An hysterical press corps clamoring to recharge Mr. Epstein with dated crimes for which he’d long since paid his debt to society under an arm’s length plea deal — just because he had the misfortune to be a wealthy man in the #metoo era whose former prosecutor happened to take a job with President Trump.

Greedy plaintiff’s lawyers who instigated and exploited the media frenzy to line their own pockets.

Breathless reporters excavating every corner of Mr. Epstein’s life to pile on, tear him down and kick him at his lowest–while still presumed innocent, before he’d had his day in court.

All these actors appear to bear some responsibility for this calamity. All seem to have a share of Mr. Epstein’s blood on their hands. All should be ashamed of their behavior.

I call for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Epstein’s death. The public needs to know exactly what happened and why — and how his custodians could have let it occur.

Fernich appeared in court with Epstein last month:

PRAGER: America Is Drowning In The Left’s Lies About Trump

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, never said there were "fine" Nazis or Ku Klux Klansmen.
This is one of the two great lies of our time — the other being that all Trump supporters are racists — and perhaps in all of American history. I cannot think of a lie of such significance that was held as truth by so many Americans, by every leading politician of one of the two major political parties and disseminated by virtually the entire media.

Epstein’s victims are angry he has escaped facing justice

Now that Jeffrey Epstein has apparently succeeded in killing himself, some of his victims are speaking up. They’re not happy that he has short-circuited a trial where he would need to face his accusers. Jennifer Araoz who came forward last month and accused Epstein of raping her when she was just 15-years-old released a statement. From NBC News:

“I am angry Jeffrey Epstein won’t have to face his survivors of his abuse in court,” she said in a statement. “We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed, the pain and trauma he caused so many people. Epstein is gone, but justice must still be served. I hope the authorities will pursue and prosecute his accomplices and enablers, and ensure redress for his victims.”

That last point seems like the big one. Jennifer Araoz didn’t wind up at Epstein’s mansion at age 14 because she personally met the billionaire at her high school. She was recruited into Epstein’s orbit by a woman who kept showing up at the school trying to befriend her. So far, none of Epstein’s recruiters have faced any jail time.

Yesterday I wrote about the release of documents from a lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts against Gislaine Maxwell. Roberts named a number of people who are now less likely to face justice because the man who could have confirmed or denied their involvement is dead. Today, Roberts’ attorney suggested it wasn’t a coincidence that Epstein had taken his own life so soon after those materials from his client’s lawsuit were released:

Sigrid McCawley, lawyer to Roberts Giuffre and other victims, said the fact that Epstein took his own life less than 24 hours after the documents were released detailing “the scope, scale and sophistication of the international sex trafficking operation Epstein conducted, is no coincidence.”

“We are hopeful that the government will continue to investigate and will focus on those who participated and facilitated Epstein’s horrifying sex trafficking scheme that damaged so many,” McCawley said.

Bottom line: Epstein was facing serious time and might have been persuaded to talk about all the other people involved in his sex ring in exchange for some leniency. Now that can’t happen. Attorney Lisa Bloom (last seen defending Harvey Weinstein) also represents some of Epstein’s alleged victims:

Bloom told MSNBC this morning that she would continue to sue Epstein’s estate:

“You can’t criminally prosecute someone who is dead. But you can still sue his estate for money damages so that they [the victims] can get full and fair compensation for the life long damage that he caused them. The damage to their relationships, to their self-esteem, their career opportunities shattered, and we intend to proceed with that immediately,” said Bloom on MSNBC. “We are going to get justice for these victims we are not giving up. He is not going to escape justice even in death.”

It really is disappointing that this may all come down to lawyers picking the bones of Epstein’s estate. There were a lot of other people involved in this. Some were apparently supplying Epstein with young girls who wanted to be models. Some were recruiting young girls from high schools. And some were taking advantage of these young girls with Epstein’s blessing. The whole lot of them should be in prison for a long time. To the degree that Epstein’s death makes that less likely now, it’s a real shame.
