Getty Images New York’s criminal-justice system desperately needs the attention of US Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon — who’s had enough of woke district attorneys protecting illegals from prosecution to shield them from deportation, and so put law-abiding citizens at risk
Dhillon has begun with Soros-backed DA Steve Descano of Fairfax County, Va.
She just announced a probe of Descano policies ordering prosecutors to “consider immigration consequences where possible,” especially “the collateral immigration consequences of the specific crime(s) the defendant is charged with” as they decide what charges to file, what plea bargains to take, and what sentences to recommend.
That is: Go softer on an illegal immigrant than on a citizen who commits the same rape or assault, because the noncitizen is also at risk of deportation.
The wokists see that as an “unequal” outcome: The illegal gets deportation on top of his other sentence.
But it’s added “punishment” as the result of having committed an additional crime, namely border-hopping or another immigration offense such as overstaying a tourist visa.
Such “lenience for illegals” policies blatantly ignore the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.
The leniency is also a clear violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act — which forbids agencies getting federal tax dollars from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin.
Descano already has blood on his hands: His office dropped charges against illegal thug Marvin Morales‑Ortez and let him walk free — and within 24 hours he had murdered a man.
But the madness is also rampant in New York too. A few recent examples:
Democrats in New York have long embraced this bias:
Mind you, none of this is about protecting anyone whose only crime is being here illegally: It’s about protecting those who then commit more crimes — including violent ones.
Which is crazy: An overwhelming majority of New Yorkers favor deporting violent-criminal illegal immigrants — it’s a complete no-brainer.
But our local political class somehow confuses protecting the guilty with protecting the innocent (and not just when it comes to immigration).
New York desperately needs the feds to straighten the woke injustice-warriors out: Dhillon (and the rest of Main Justice) need to get investigating, ASAP.
Demand Bragg’s emails around charging decisions. Put Gonzalez — who openly declared he was violating Title VI — in front of Congress.
Get the federal courts to strike down the New York laws that deny the Constitution’s equal-protection guarantees.
Put a glaring spotlight on all the politicians who think their first duty is to protect criminals from the consequences of their actions.
