And Yet Again

September 6th, 2007

by Gayle Kesselman at ADMC

It never ends.

Just a few short weeks after New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram’s directive to police regarding illegal immigrants, we have another case of murder which was 100% preventable.

Check out the third paragraph in the following excerpt from the New Jersey Courier Post, where it is pointed out that the suspect was out on bail for a minor charge. If Program 287 (g) had been in effect, the suspect would have been put on a plane back to his home country and his alleged victim would be alive today.

Prosecutor: Murder suspect an illegal alien
By Carol Comegno  |  Wednesday, September 5, 2007

A man accused of fatally shooting a Burlington City man and wounding his former girlfriend over the weekend is an illegal alien and a street gang member, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday.

The suspect, Jesus Avila, 22, of Kinsley Road in Pemberton Township, remained in the Burlington County Jail Tuesday after a Superior Court judge reaffirmed his $1 million bail.

Deputy first assistant county prosecutor James Ronca said Avila was not only an undocumented alien from Mexico but was out on bail on a minor charge when the shootings occurred Saturday….

“Jail personnel said they saw tattoos identifying him (Avila) as a member of a street gang…” Ronca told Superior Court Judge Patricia LeBon.

Speaking through a court interpreter, Avila asked for a court-appointed lawyer to represent him… He is charged with murder, aggravated assault and illegal possession of a firearm.
