'Private Police Force' to arrest "illegals."

by JOSE CARVAJAL Monday, Aug. 14, 2006 at 1:25 PM
jcarvajal@californian.com

LA CRESTA -- Fed up with what it says is a failure on the part of authorities to act on the area's illegal immigrant problem, a group purporting to be residents of the affluent, sprawling and isolated La Cresta, Tenaja and Santa Rosa communities is vowing to take matters into its own hands.

LA CRESTA -- Fed up with what it says is a failure on the part of authorities to act on the area's illegal immigrant problem, a group purporting to be residents of the affluent, sprawling and isolated La Cresta, Tenaja and Santa Rosa communities is vowing to take matters into its own hands.

A group calling itself Private Police Force announced last week on a new Web site that it will begin doing the job U.S. Border Patrol and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department aren't doing by conducting citizens' arrests on illegal immigrants and detaining them.

If it follows through on its promise, the group would be taking things further than other anti-illegal immigration groups, such as The Minutemen Project, which have previously deployed their members to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border and only report illegal immigrant sightings.

The Private Police Force is threatening to actually detain illegal immigrants.

"They will be handcuffed to the Oak Trees," according to the group's Web site, so they can be picked up by authorities.

"Don't treat this website lightly," the group states. "We will make Citizens Arrests on Illegal Aliens. We will File Criminal and Civil Complaints if you Hire or House an Illegal. If you have sold a vehicle to an illegal, we will prosecute you under the DMV law too. If you house an illegal, we will also prosecute you under the Zoning Laws."

Wendy Lee, a San Diego-based spokeswoman for the U.S. Border Patrol, defended the job her agency has done in the area. The La Cresta-Tenaja-Santa Rosa area is handled by the agency's Murrieta station, she said, and it has done a good job of both being proactive and being responsive when individuals come to the station with tips.

In this case, that isn't happening, she said Tuesday.

"We haven't had a complaint from the community around (Murrieta) stating there is a problem there," Lee said. "We haven't had any reports that I know of. ... If they want to report it to us, we will take care of it."

When asked whether the Private Police Force group could legally conduct citizens' arrests, Lee said she did not have an answer. If the group is found to be violating the rights of individuals, she said, it will have to answer for that.

"This is a free country," Lee said. "They will have to face authorities."

Though it states it is prepared to identify those in the community sympathetic to illegal immigrants, the group ---- which launched its Web site through an anonymous Internet-hosting company ---- is not yet identifying any of its own members.

The names and photos of those who oppose the group's efforts will be posted on the Web site, http://www.privatepoliceforce.com, according to a statement on the site. The names and photos of known illegal-immigrant workers will also be posted, the statement says.

Also, arrests will be recorded on video and offered for viewing on the Web site, the group states.

The only information provided on the site about the group's members is that "We have three lawyers and several regular police officers who have pledged private investigation time in our area," and that the group would be hiring "a few security professionals."

Requests for interviews through the group's e-mail address were not returned this week.

According to the group's statement, "Many Mexican illegals are stealing from many residents on the Santa Rosa Plateau, including La Cresta, Tenaja and the surrounding communities." The immigrants camp in the nearby canyons and other areas and are employed by homeowners in the community, the statement says.

Many of them have escaped or have been released from Mexican jails and have lengthy criminal records that include child molestation, rape and murder, according to the statement.

Proof is not offered to support any of those claims.

Longtime La Cresta resident Vicki Long said Tuesday that the area has had its share of problems with illegal immigrants over the years. Though she said she is not aware what the situation is now, Long said there was a time several years ago when illegal immigrants would deal drugs and fire guns from a camp near her property.

The group and its Web site, she said, are an indication that it is probably still a problem.

"I just question why they're having to do that when we've got other agencies that should be handling the problem," Long said. "We pay our taxes for that sort of thing. I don't know why law enforcement isn't helping these people. They sound quite desperate."

Though the group echoes some of the things Long said about the illegal immigrant problem in the area on its Web site, it does so with much more inflammatory language.

In a section of the Web site ---- which appears professionally done and features photos of police officers, barbed wire and a set of hands cuffed behind someone's back ---- titled "How to Recognize an Illegal/Thief," the group offers several tips.

Among the things to look for, it states, are "If they carry a short garden hose, used to siphon gas from your car at night" and "If they carry their lunch in a plastic bag composed of stolen oranges and burritos."

I can't wait to see the illegals also "take matters into their own hands" in self defense against these white supremacist racist scumbags.

Um, yeah

I'd like to consider establishing a policy of holding a public party, a celebration, a ritual to mark the joy and satisfaction every time a racist scumbag brandishes a firearm and threatens an illegal Mexican's life, motivating the Mexican to defend himself to the point where said racist scumbag is no longer able to commit his terrorist threats and attempted murder.

If you look at what these scumbags do, it's a mirror repeat of the "Brown Shirts" and their activities in Jewish neighborhoods. Victims of racist and other ideology-predicated hatred are well within their rights to defend themselves, wouldn't you agree?

My opinions only and only my opinions.

Laugh

Damn and golly!

Any way, what's amusing is that it wasn't all that long ago that a handfull of white supremacists brandished firearms and kidnapped illegal Mexicans who were tresspassing on their ranch lands, holding them against their will for a period of time until the police arrived.

The illegal Mexicans ended up owning the white supremacists' ranch after the court cases and hearins and such were done.

Along comes a web site -- with probably just one individual behind it, a single individual who wants to play pretend, no doubt -- who apparently wants to whip up racists into a repeat of the brandishing and kidnapping fiasco. Amusing.

"Citizen's arrest" doesn't include making terrorist threats, death threats, kidnapping, violent assault, and the host of other activities the anonymous individual behind the web site appears to me to be calling upon racist scumbags to commit.

It's also funny -- or at least it would be if it ever happened -- to see illegal Mexicans capable of defending themselves.

Got to wonder which group of individuals constitute a greater threat to America:

1: Republican fascist traitors
2: Racist scumbag white supremacist right-wing extremists
3: Mexicans that mow our lawns

My opinions only an donly my opinions.
