Drunk-Driving Illegal Alien Paid Cash for Being Held for ICE

When it comes to placing the interests of foreign criminals ahead of those of law-abiding American citizens, no extreme of injustice is too outrageous for the liberals running “sanctuary” jurisdictions. In California, an illegal immigrant who had been arrested for drunk driving was actually paid cash for having his “rights” violated because police detained him for a few hours for immigration authorities.

Via Judicial Watch:

The 29-year-old perpetrator, Edgar Torres Gutierrez, eventually pled guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving and his pro bono attorneys from a nearby public university sued the city for violating his Constitutional rights as well as a statewide sanctuary law. Under the agreement, Gutierrez will receive $18,750 from taxpayers in the California coastal municipality where he lives illegally. Local police officers will also be forced to watch a training video involving sanctuary measures for the next two years.

No doubt the video entails sensitivity training. The officers sure need it, if they think immigration laws apply even to historically oppressed groups like illegal aliens from Mexico.

In all, Gutierrez spent around 15 hours in Laguna Beach Police custody and several more hours in a Los Angeles immigrant detention facility, according to a local news report. Apparently, Gutierrez wasn’t deported because he is protected by an Obama-era amnesty program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that temporarily shields illegal immigrants that came to the U.S. as children. Government figures show that more than 100,000 illegal immigrants who have requested DACA have serious criminal histories that include murder, rape and assault charges.

Those with criminal histories are also historically oppressed. That is, they are unlikely to vote Republican.

After taking a victory lap, his publicly-funded lawyers filed another complaint [last] week with the Laguna Beach Police Department that will require more taxpayer resources to defend.

Gutierrez isn’t the only illegal alien waging lawfare against a host country that doesn’t take its own immigration law seriously.

Emboldened by sanctuary policies and open-borders groups that offer free legal representation, a growing number of illegal immigrants are filing lawsuit demanding rights in the U.S. Last year seven illegal immigrants detained in a workplace raid sued the federal agents that arrested them, claiming that they were racially profiled for being Latino.

If the Imperial Japanese had just waited a couple generations, they could have invaded California; if anyone had put up resistance, they could have sued them for racially profiling Asians.

Another lunatic lawsuit resulted in a federal ruling that illegal immigrants can sue American employers who discriminate by not hiring them because they are not legal residents. This suggests that Democrats will not have to import many more Edgar Torres Gutierrezes to turn the whole country into California — that is, into a mental institution run by the inmates.
