A 21-year-old MS-13 member from El Salvador was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday for his role in the gang-related slaying of a Virginia man who was hacked to death with a machete last year.

Walter Antonio Argueta Amaya was sentenced to 15 years for first-degree murder and 15 years for murder by lynching in the brutal killing of 24-year-old Marvin Joel Rivera Guevara, the Daily Progress reported. The sentences will be served consecutively.

Police found Guevara’s mutilated body in Moore’s Creek near the Woolen Mills neighborhood in Scottsville in July 2017.

Amaya, who is in the country illegally, is one of the MS-13 gang members who pleaded guilty to brutally killing Guevara. He will be eligible for deportation upon release from prison.

According to court documents, Guevara was also an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador but was not associated with any gang. He was targeted by the gang because he made a comment disparaging the notorious gang to a fellow employee – who also happened to be an MS-13 member in the country illegally – while working at a Charlottesville restaurant.

The night of his death, Guevara drove with his work colleague, 19-year-old Juan Carlos Argueta, because he believed they were meeting a woman, the newspaper reported.

Instead, the pair met Jose Luis Escobar-Umana, 23, and Juan Carlos Zelaya, 19, -- both of whom are El Salvadoran nationals and in the country illegally.

Police said Escobar-Umana forced Guevara at gunpoint to walk toward a creek before striking him with a machete.

Guevara suffered more than 140 laceration wounds to his head, neck, body and limbs. The attack reportedly left him unrecognizable, the newspaper reported, and Guevara had to be identified by his DNA.

Escobar-Umana pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and lynching. He is scheduled for sentencing next week.

Zelaya and Argueta both pleaded guilty to gang participation and lynching in exchange for dropping the first-degree murder and abduction charges. Their sentencings are scheduled for February 2019.

In Virginia, the lynching statute allows murder charges to be filed against every person involved in a mob, group or gang action that inflicts violence on another person resulting in death. It’s the first time the statute has been used in Albemarle County, prosecutors said.

Tammy Bruce: Why Trump's border wall could help save thousands of lives

By Tammy Bruce | The Washington Times
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a shocking report last week revealing American life expectancy is down as a result of higher drug overdose deaths and suicide. For those watching, the advent of ObamaCare, the Republican failure in reversing that debacle and the refusal of politicians to secure our southern border all have a hand in this monstrous development.

The Guardian reported earlier this year, “Drug overdoses killed more than 72,000 people in the United States last year – a new record driven by the deadly opioid epidemic, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC estimates that 72,287 people died from overdoses in 2017, an increase of about 10 percent from the year before.”

For perspective, those overdose deaths in that one year are more that the U.S. deaths in the Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined.

The suicide rate is also skyrocketing. There were more than 47,000 suicides last year, the highest in 50 years, according to the CDC.

The CDC said it doesn’t want to speculate about the reason for the uptick in suicides, but we do know it’s rarely one factor. CBS reported on an earlier CDC investigation into suicide that “researchers found that more than half of people who died by suicide during the study period did not have a known diagnosed mental health condition at the time of death. Other issues, including relationship problems, substance abuse, physical health problems, job- or money-related stress, legal or housing problems often contributed to risk for suicide.”

We do know the Obama years were a disaster economically and otherwise for this nation. Yes, he also inherited an economic collapse delivered by the Bush administration and made possible by an establishment on big government auto-pilot. In the mix of this malignant neglect by the swamp, Americans lost their homes, their jobs and their savings. The system, then under Obama, was still in the taking mood, and we lost our doctor, hospital and access to health care.

Americans have always been resilient, and we still are. We have faced hardship before, and have fought to come out of it. We aren’t suddenly choosing to be drug addicts and suicides because we’re tired. Something intervened, and that something is a combination of government meddling in health care and a deliberate lack of control of our southern border.

As we finally address the prescription opioid epidemic, many turned to street drugs as an alternative. Heroin addiction climbed, and the even more deadly fentanyl is now destroying lives.

“The problem now is not doctors and legitimate prescriptions. It is criminals and illegal drugs. These illegal drugs are being trafficked into the U.S. by criminal smugglers primarily from Mexico and China. Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, the criminal enterprise once led by Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, is a driving force in the surge in fentanyl crossing the border,” USA Today reported in June. “Currently, 80 percent of the illegal fentanyl seized by the DEA has been traced to Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel. Illegal opioids are being imported into our country through and from Mexico on a daily basis. These are being sourced by Chinese factories and Mexican cartels.”

In May, “Fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border have jumped 750 percent in the first seven months of fiscal year 2018 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson,” the Washington Examiner reported.

The revelation about life expectancy, drug overdoses, and suicide is alarming for our country. At first blush, one might see it as a sign of an irreversible decline of life or the breakdown of the American character, but neither is true. It’s imperative we recognize the life and death role political decisions have on our lives, and as we see, our deaths.

As a nation, we are in denial about the source of these deadly problems because the solution would disturb the establishment’s drive for nationalized health care (which would be ObamaCare on steroids) and the refusal to secure the southern border.

There is some hope as President Trump remains focused on securing the border, but reminding the U.S. people that the open border allows the drug cartels to mass murder Americans every year must be a priority. The wall, which Democrats and Never Trumpers still like to mock (and still work to obstruct) is a singularly important mechanism that will help save thousands of U.S. lives every year by finally locking the open door into this country available to the drug cartels.

At the Group of 20 summit in Brazil, Trump continued his commitment to confronting this war on the American people.

“As part of a wide-ranging deal between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, China has reportedly pledged to designate the potent synthetic opioid fentanyl and similar drugs as controlled substances …,” Time magazine reported.

“Last month, a Congressional commission said China – which it previously called the ‘largest source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-like substances in the United States’ – was not doing enough to stop the drug and its related analogs from reaching U.S. borders. The Trump Administration has also made it a priority to crack down on the flow of fentanyl-like substances from China, which may enter the country either directly through the mail, or indirectly via cartels,” the news magazine noted.

In their pursuit of money, votes and power, politicians for far too long have accepted a certain percentage of U.S. deaths as collateral damage. The only way this madness will stop is when we say enough is enough. Renewing our demand for the southern border wall, and refusing to be led quietly into the nightmare of nationalized health care, is where we start to take our lives back.

Two groups of Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them into the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home.

On the one-month anniversary of their arrival in Tijuana, caravan members are pressing the United States to take action, but they are dwindling in numbers since more than 6,000 first arrived at the city’s shelters.

Approximately 700 have voluntarily returned to their country of origin, 300 have been deported, and 2,500 have applied for humanitarian visas in Mexico, according to Xochtil Castillo, a caravan member who met with Mexican officials Tuesday. The remaining migrants are presumed to have crossed illegally into the United States, moved to other Mexican border cities or simply fallen through the cracks.

Mexico’s National Institution of Migration did not respond to a request to verify those numbers Tuesday.

Denmark plans to banish unwanted migrants to small, remote island

By Kathleen Joyce | Fox News
Denmark plans to banish rejected migrants or those with criminal records to Lindholm, a small island. (AP)

Denmark is trying to banish migrants whose applications have been rejected or who have a criminal record to a small, remote island that currently contains a crematory and laboratories.

The plan adopted Friday by the center-right government and right-wing Danish People’s Party, which together hold a majority in parliament, calls for officials to decontaminate the isolated island of Lindholm by late 2019 and open facilities for some 100 people in 2021. From 1926 until earlier this year, Lindholm, a 17-acre island, was a laboratory facility for a state veterinary institute that researched contagious animal diseases.

The facilities would house migrants who have been denied asylum but cannot be deported, and those with criminal records.

The New York Times reported the asylum-seekers would be required to go to the island center every day or face being imprisoned. Ferry service to travel to and from the island would also be limited.

DENMARK JOINS SOME EUROPEAN NATIONS IN BANNING BURQA, NIQAB

Inger Stojberg, the country’s immigration minister, wrote on Facebook that asylum-seekers are “unwanted in Denmark, and they will feel that.”

Martin Henriksen of the Danish People’s Party told The Associated Press the government’s move “is a signal to the world that Denmark is not attractive” for migrants.

Henriksen told TV2 the country was going to “minimize the number of ferry departures as much as possible.”

DENMARK FINES WOMAN $156 FOR WEARING FACE VEIL AFTER BANNING BURQA, NIQAB

Denmark has in recent years started tightening its laws for immigrants, including extending the one year period that family members must wait before they can join a refugee in the country to three years, reducing benefits for asylum-seekers, shortening temporary residence permits and stepping up efforts to deport those whose applications are rejected.

Earlier this year, Denmark joined other European countries by banning garments that cover the face, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

There's an idea. We should take all the immigrants and put them in some remote little town in central Oregon. Do you know of any that has a population of about 2000?

Looks like 95% of the deportees are criminals and none of them are citizens obviously.

Some of the targeted immigrants had green cards but had not been naturalized as citizens, and the vast majority of them had at some point committed crimes — roughly 7,700 of the 8,000 or so of the Vietnamese immigrants who were classified as deportable.

California illegal immigrant ‘cop-killer’ taken into custody, officials say
By Elizabeth Zwirz, Greg Norman | Fox News

Sheriff of Stanislaus County calls officer Ronil Singh's death 'preventable,' blames California's sanctuary laws
The illegal immigrant fugitive who was wanted in the murder of a California police officer was taken into custody on Friday after being on the run for more than two days, according to an official, who made the case that the fatal encounter may have been preventable.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson announced the arrest of the suspect -- identified as Gustavo Perez Arriaga -- in Bakersfield, about 280 miles southeast of Newman, where Police Cpl. Ronil Singh was gunned down early Wednesday. The arrest was confirmed by the Fresno County and Kern County Sheriff's Offices.

Christianson, whose department has been handling the case, told reporters at a news conference that Arriaga is from Mexico and was in the U.S. illegally after previously crossing the Arizona border. It wasn't clear when that crossing occurred, though.

Christianson said the suspect had been in the country for a number of years and was seeking to cross back over the border before the shooting occurred.

The suspect had known gang affiliations, as well as two past DUI arrests, Christianson said.

The suspect was stopped by Singh for a DUI investigation before getting into a gunfight with the officer, during which Singh tried to defend himself, Christianson said at a separate news conference Thursday.

Authorities also said they've arrested two others -- 25-year-old Adrian Virgen and 27-year-old Erik Razo Quiroz -- who Christianson said had attempted to mislead investigators in an effort to protect the suspect. The sheriff's office said on Facebook that Arriaga would be charged with homicide. Virgen and Quiroz were arrested and accused of being accessories after the fact to a felony, the post said.

As for whether Singh's death was preventable, Christianson noted that had law enforcement previously been able to report the suspect to Immigration and Customs Enforcement because of his criminal record, the loss of life might never have occurred.

"While we absolutely need to stay focused on Officer Singh’s service and sacrifice, we can’t ignore the fact that this could’ve been preventable," Christianson said. "And under SB54 in California, based on two arrests for DUI and some other active warrants that this criminal has out there, law enforcement would’ve been prevented, prohibited from sharing any information with ICE about this criminal gang member. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not how you protect a community."

At a separate news conference, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood told reporters that he'd been notified on Thursday that the suspect was somewhere between Modesto and Bakersfield and was thought to be heading toward Mexico.

Surveillance teams set up in different communities, and authorities were able to obtain a search warrant for the residence where the suspect was located, Youngblood said. As a SWAT team moved in, the suspect came out with his hands up and surrendered, he added.

Officer Singh's handcuffs were later used on the suspect, according to the sheriff.

"When you use a firearm against a police officer, you can run but you can't hide," Youngblood said.

The arrest was made by Kern County deputies, in tangent with officials from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), FBI, Homeland Security, as well as Newman and Bakersfield police departments, the sheriff's office said on Facebook.

Additionally, three others -- identified as Bernabe Madrigal Castaneda, 59, Erasmo Villegas, 36, and Maria Luisa Moreno, 57 -- were arrested for aiding and abetting, Youngblood said, adding that he expected more arrests may be coming.

The announcement of it came nearly a day after Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson made an emotional plea for the suspect to turn himself in.

“A coward took his life," Richardson said. “We need closure. His family needs closure."

The suspect may have connections to a violent Mexican-American street gang, according to an image circulating on social media and confirmed as authentic by investigators early Friday.

The photo shows the alleged “cop-killer” posing in a tank top, with a metal chain necklace draped around his neck and a large flaming skull tattoo visible on his right arm. Underneath the tattoo is the word “$ur3no$,” which, according to police in Washington State, is Spanish for “southerners”.

“Sureños are a group of Mexican-American street gangs with origins in southern California (south of Bakersfield),” reads a profile on the group in a police gang recognition guide. “The gang has allegiance to the [California] prison gang, Mexican Mafia, aka “La Eme”.

An image of the suspect in Officer Singh's murder, confirmed to be authentic by California police. (Facebook)

The gang recently has been blamed for murders and human smuggling crimes along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Christianson said Thursday that police have possession of a truck believed to have been driven by the suspect in Singh’s killing.

The man appears to have at least five Facebook profiles, each with a different alias. Four of the pages say he is from Mexico’s Colima State on its Pacific Coast and contain images of him with the “Sureños” tattoo and silver chain necklace visible. Some of the pages are Facebook friends with one another.

One of the profiles purportedly belonging to the individual contains numerous images of pistols and weapons, and several images of him crossing his arms while holding a pistol.

Singh was a native of Fiji and left behind a wife and 5-month-old son. The officer, who joined the force in the summer of 2011, was remembered fondly by the Newman police chief, who said Singh “truly loved what he did.”

“He came to this country with one purpose, and that was to serve this country,” Richardson said.

The Stanislaus Sworn Deputies Association has established a memorial fund in Singh's honor.

You're talking about misdemeanors even if they entered illegally. And you don't know they entered illegally until they are adjudicated.
Not counting the misdemeanors, undocumented immigrants commit a serious crime at a lower rate than U.S. citizens. I can back that up with a credible link if you need one.
