Open Borders Rap Sheet: 30+ Crimes by Immigrant Suspects in September Alone

immigration-crime-suspects-mugshots

Breitbart News has compiled a list of criminal incidents across the nation from the month of September, 2016, all of which relate to the United States’ immigration crisis.

In the month of September alone, a Turkish immigrant allegedly shot and killed five people in a Washington State mall; an Afghan immigrant allegedly planted bombs in New York and New Jersey injuring roughly 30 innocent people; a Somali immigrant allegedly stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall; a twice-arrested illegal alien with a prior DUI conviction allegedly murdered a Kansas sheriff’s deputy; an illegal alien and convicted child rapist allegedly shot two California corrections officers; an illegal alien with a prior drug arrest, who had been a recipient of Obama’s executive amnesty, allegedly engaged in reckless driving killing a 12-year-old girl; a three-time deported illegal alien allegedly killed two people on what was described as a crime “rampage;” and a Mexican immigrant and Arizona pastor was arrested after it was revealed that he had allegedly molested children for years, many of whom are believed to belong to his church, and for impregnating one of his victims when she was 13 years old.

At the same time, a Department of Homeland Security audit revealed that over 1,800 foreign nationals who were slated to be deported were instead awarded U.S. citizenship.

The below list is by no means exhaustive—it is simply intended to highlight the scope and scale of the nation’s immigration crisis, which frequently goes unreported or dismissed by establishment media. While the media may report some of these crimes (such as the extensive coverage given to the New York City bombing or the Minnesota mall stabber), their reporting is almost always absent any immigration context.

In addition to the crimes committed by people in the country illegally, this list includes crimes attached to individuals whom our government voluntarily chose to admit, or even decided to reward with U.S. citizenship.

9/27/16 SARITA, Texas

Border Patrol agents arrested Francisco Javier Cruz-Munoz, a Mexican national and moderate-risk sex offender registered with the Texas Department of Public Safety. In 2008, Cruz was reportedly convicted of indecency with an 11 year-old girl by sexual contact. The illegal alien had been previously deported on October 1, 2010 and has now been charged with illegal re-entry.


9/27/16 DALLAS, Texas

Juan Navarro Rios, 43, a three-time previously deported illegal alien was arrested for what was described as a crime “rampage.” CBS described Rios as “a murderer, carjacker and kidnapper whose reign of terror spanned at least from the city of Dallas to just north of Austin.”

During his “reign of terror,” Rios allegedly shot to death a 23-year-old man in his vehicle on the shoulder of Texas State Highway Spur 408, he then “opened fire on at least two other vehicles.” Later that evening, Rios allegedly drove up next to Welton Betts, 44, as he was pumping gas at a Texaco gas station. He allegedly shot and killed Betts, forced Betts’ wife out of the car and stole the vehicle. Betts, a black American who had fallen in love and married his high school sweetheart and raised a family with her, has been described as “a typical Texan: he loved God, his family, hard work, the Cowboys, and his pickup truck.”

Reports note that Rios also allegedly “broke into a home, took the keys to a Lexus, and drove it to Georgetown, Texas, where it was found abandoned. He is also believed to have kidnapped a man at gunpoint Monday morning and then trying to force him to withdraw money from an ATM. Rios set fire to his sister’s apartment in Georgetown, broke through a wall into a neighbor’s apartment, and tried to flee before being captured. He had a gun nearby.”

According to reports, Rios had multiple criminal charges in Williamson County, including felony possession of a controlled substance and burglary of a vehicle.

ABC’s WFAA reports that Rios “had so many aliases—at least eight by last count—that police aren’t even sure of his real name… Records also revealed that he had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border at least 35 times, using a passport with a fake name.”

Reports note that the illegal criminal alien was well-known in his Hispanic community. “In a largely Spanish-speaking neighborhood in southern Dallas, everybody knew Juan Navarro Rios as ‘flaco’ [Spanish for ‘skinny’].”


9/27/16 WILSON COUNTY, Tennessee

Two Mexican nationals, 23-year-old Fernando Limon and 28-year-old Ramiro Limon, were arrested and are facing four counts of rape of a child. According to reports, the child victims involved were “considerably younger than the 13-year-old age limit sentencing guidelines involving adults charged with sex crimes against children.”


9/24/16 BURLINGTON, Washington

Twenty-year-old Arcan Cetin, a Turkish immigrant, allegedly shot and killed four women and one man at a Washington State mall. It was originally reported Cetin was in the country as a lawful permanent resident, but not a U.S. citizen. However, after documentation surfaced showing he had registered to vote in 2014 and had in fact voted in three elections, new reports now indicate Cetin is a naturalized U.S. citizen. On Twitter, Cetin indicated that he had planned to vote for Hillary Clinton.


9/23/16 MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Maryland

Cecil Burrows, 23, a known gang member originally from the slums of Mumbai, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in the 2012 gang rape of a blacked-out teenage girl. Burrows decided to record the gang rape on video.

Burrows came to the U.S. when he was 12 years old and promptly joined a gang. Even still, the government rewarded him with lawful permanent resident status.

The 2012 gang rape was not Burrows’ first run-in with the law. In 2011, he was charged with theft, but a judge was apparently lenient with him and reportedly spared him jail time, allowing him to go back on the streets and eventually take part in a gang rape the following year.

Reports note that the gang rape might never have come to light if one of Burrows’ fellow gang members hadn’t bragged about the rape to his co-worker and showed him the “funny” video recording of the rape, which he had saved on his cellphone. The Washington Post reports that on the 35-minute audio recording of the rape, Burrows can be heard “like a coach” giving instructions to the men on how to rape the girl. “The victim could be heard screaming and saying in slurred speech to stop,” the Post writes. “As the recording continues, Burrows could be heard giving instructions, at one point asking, ‘Who’s next?’”


9/23/16 WASHINGTON, D.C./Virginia

During a six-day operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 47 illegal aliens from the Washington D.C. and Virginia area who had previously been convicted of crimes. According to ICE’s press release:

9/22/16 GARLAND, Texas

Fermin Rivera, 28, allegedly beat a puppy to death while trying to break into a neighborhood home. During the attempted burglary, Rivera had broken into the backyard but was met with barking by a small puppy.

9/17/16 – 9/19/16 ELIZABETH, New Jersey

9/16/16 OVERLAND PARK, Kansas

Adrian Espinosa-Flores, a two-time arrested illegal alien with a prior DUI conviction, allegedly killed a Kansas sheriff’s deputy. Espinosa-Flores, 38, was allegedly driving drunk when he crashed his car into the patrol vehicle of Sheriff’s Department Master Deputy Brandon Collins, 45. The Daily Caller reports that “Espinosa-Flores was previously arrested for DUI in California in 2001 and a traffic violation in Overland Park, Kansas in 2013.” He was cited for driving without a license and paid a $121 fine after pleading guilty. The Daily Caller writes: “ICE has said they were not notified of either of those arrests. Overland Park is located in Johnson County, which is a ‘sanctuary county’ […] 41 Action News reported that the Overland park police department that arrested him in 2013 said didn’t notify ICE because, ‘it could be considered profiling because a lot of people of all races are arrested without a proper ID.’”

The Kansas City Star reports that Deputy Collins “would have celebrated his 21st anniversary with the department next month.” He is survived by his wife and two daughters.


9/14/16 PORTLAND, Oregon

Breitbart’s Lee Stranahan reports:

An Ethiopian immigrant who was working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Portland, Oregon is behind bars, charged with rape, unlawful sexual penetration and other sexual contact with patients who were 87 and 94 years old.

Around a half dozen other alleged victims came forward after the September 14 arrest of Adeladilew A. Mekonen and he is likely to face “many more charges,” the Washington County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to Breitbart News. As the online record of who is in custody in Washington County shows, the 34-year-old suspect is currently facing 18 charges.


9/14/16 DES MOINES, Iowa

Illegal alien Fernando Fernel Lopez-Aguilar, 18, faces criminal charges of homicide by reckless driving, two counts of serious injury by reckless driving, child endangerment, operating without a driver’s license and no insurance. On September 8, Aguilar allegedly was speeding when he ran a stop sign and caused a fatal multiple vehicle accident that resulted in the death of a 12-year-old girl and injured four others. According to reports, Aguilar “told investigators that he had known for at least three days the brakes in his car had been malfunctioning, but he drove the vehicle anyway.”

Lopez-Aguilar is a so-called “DREAMer” who was exempted from U.S. immigration law by President Obama’s executive amnesty (DACA) for illegal aliens who allegedly arrived in the country as minors. Hillary Clinton is campaigning on protecting and expanding Obama’s executive amnesty.

This was not Lopez Aguilar’s first criminal offense: In June, he received a citation of the possession of drug paraphernalia.


9/13/16 PHOENIX, Arizona

Pastor Jose Vicente Morales was arrested and faces charges of sexual abuse, child molestation and sexual conduct with a minor. ABC15 reports that, allegedly, “Morales had been molesting children for years” and had “impregnated one of the victims when she was 13 years of age.” Some of his victims were reportedly members of his church. “One victim accused Morales of molesting her from ages seven to 12, she said she was molested once while in a pool as she was swimming with the man,” ABC15 writes. “Police report that when Morales came to Arizona in 1986 at age 19, he dated an eight-year-old girl and married her in Mexico when she was 10. After returning to Arizona, he impregnated her when she was just 13.”


9/13/16 SANTA CRUZ, California

Ignacio Andrade Duarte, 46-year-old Sonora-native who was in the country on a guest worker permit, was denied his motion to withdraw from a plea deal in which he had confessed to two separate incidents in 2014 where he sexually touched a six-year-old and a nine-year-old girl.

Duarte pled guilty to one count of child molestation and one count of attempted sexual abuse of a minor. Nogales International reports: “Despite the nature of the charges against him and the fact that he is a citizen of another county, Andrade was never arrested or ordered to post bond. Even after he pleaded guilty, Deputy County Attorney Kimberly Hunley did not ask the judge to have him taken into custody. Andrade fled the state after his change-of-plea hearing and was eventually arrested in California on Feb. 19 after a nationwide manhunt.”


9/13/16 LAS VEGAS, Nevada

9/7/16 BOSTON, Massachusetts

Walter Gomes DaSilva, a Brazilian national and two-time deported illegal criminal alien convicted of trying to kill his wife, reportedly “grinned widely” as he pled guilty to murdering his teenage daughter. The 45 year-old father, who has a “Kiss My Ass” tattoo around his neck, was convicted in 2002 and served 10 years in prison for trying to murder his wife. The Boston Herald reports he “vowed to see his teenage daughter ‘in hell’ as he shot her in the face and pumped her back full of bullets for snubbing him on Father’s Day.”


9/6/16  EL PASO, Texas

Two Ecuadorian nationals, Paul Esteban Estrella Villota, 40, and his wife Magaly Alemania Malagon Sandoya, 42, were respectively sentenced to six and five years in federal prison.

9/6/16 AUSTIN, Texas

Nicodemo Coria-Gonzalez, a Mexican national who has been deported five times within the past four years and has prior criminal convictions including three DUIs, is now being investigated in at least 10 cases of sexual assault as well as aggravated kidnapping. Police described Coria-Gonzalez as a “potential serial sexual assault predator.” KXAN reports that Coria-Gonzalez tried to light one woman on fire with gasoline in an empty field, but the woman was able to escape. The next day, Coria-Gonzalez allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted “a 68-year-old woman after picking her up from a bus stop and taking her to his ‘garden.’”


9/5/16 TUSCON, Arizona

Border Patrol arrested Francisco Javier Rosas-Molina, a previously-deported convicted murderer, as he, once again, tried to illegally re-enter the United States. As Tucson News Now reports:

Rosas-Molina was previously convicted in Mexico for the 2003 murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent… [who] had been traveling off-duty when Rosas-Molina attacked him for being a BP agent. Rosas-Molina served 11 years in prison for the killing. This is not the first time BP agents have arrested Rosas-Molina, in 2002 he was apprehended by the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office for possession of marijuana for transport or sale. He served 108 days in county jail for that offense. Rosas-Molina now faces prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for illegal re-entry of an aggravated felon.


9/5/16 FRESNO, California

Thong Vang, a 37-year-old illegal Laotian national and convicted child rapist, allegedly shot and critically injured two unarmed California corrections officers.

As the Fresno Bee reports, “Court records say Vang was once a leader in the Mongolian Boys Society, a Fresno street gang that engaged in a sex-slave ring at a local Motel 6 in the 1990s.” Following Vang’s parole in 2014, he was supposed to be deported. Instead, Vang was released into the U.S. interior. Immigration experts say he was released to roam free because Hillary Clinton failed to follow U.S. immigration law and take actions to force his home country to take him back.
