Nearly 11,000 "worst of the worst fugitives in the country" were arrested this week in raids in 24 states as part of a law-enforcement initiative to apprehend violent criminals, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales said yesterday. Deputy U.S. marshals, assisted by state and local police, arrested 1,659 sex offenders, 364 gang members and thousands of others sought on kidnapping, robbery, burglary, carjacking and weapons charges. "I am confident in saying that America's neighborhoods are safer today thanks to ... the devoted individuals who carried out its work," Mr. Gonzales said at a Justice Department press conference. The third phase of the initiative, known as "Operation FALCON" (Federal And Local Cops Organized Nationally), focused on sex offenders and gang members in jurisdictions east of the Mississippi River, including Virginia, Maryland and the District.

Sounds like a damn good start.
These means the Dhimmis will lose Tuesday. They were counting on these voters to vote early and vote often.
That is one whale of a lot of fugitives. Will they all be processed and imprisioned or get lost in the shuffle? Do we have the penal facilities to hold them? Amazing.
Have they been saving these guys up? I guess they wanted to surprise them.
The Homeland Security act provided a much more efficient net for grabbing these fugitives, many of whom probably had become almost complacent in their confidence they could continute to evade capture.
There is one other tactic they could use to avoid capture. They could voluntarily surrender.
It is not like a number of persons totally unaware of their status were swooped up at random.
Great news! Hooray Attorney General Gonzales and all law enforcement individuals involved!
They'll be put into prisons and then we'll be told there's no room to hold illegals so we'll have to let the illegals go.
Don't worry, they can still vote by absentee ballot. The Rats will bring them the ballots while they are in jail.
Besides, after the election is over, a dem judge will let them out on bail, probably on their own recognizance..
" On your honor, you promise to show up for court ? "
" Sure thing, Your Honor, I promise.." )
1659 sex offenders & 364 gang members?...99% hispanic males..ya wanna bet?
Most of them are probably already out on bail. How many crimes did they commit while law enforcement waited for the big day. If they were criminals and the police knew where they were, why wait for a big day to swoop down on the whole bunch.
This is proof that those who say that it would be impossible to deport millions of illegal aliens are wrong.
Of course we can't round up 30 or so million illegal aliens now estimated to be here over a weekend. But we can deport them as we catch them. Most are out in the open and easily identified.
It would take years, but if we are serious about saving and preserving our country, it must be done.
Of course, the place to begin is to stop the heavy flow of illegal aliens now crossing the borders every day and night.
Now that we've got 'em, what are we going to do with them?
I mean, if we just process them through the system and let them bail out, cop a plea, or serve a short sentence and them parole them, what good have we actually done? Yeah, we've harrassed a few bad folks, and got them off the streets briefly, which is a good thing. Long term, though, IMHO, there are some of these people who never should be free again.
Shouldn't the headline read:
11,000 fugitives caught in 24 states, 10,999 released after 24 hours. </truth>
Anyone who doesn't see this for what it obviously is, an election cycle stunt, doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. Pitiful. Blackbird.
Exactly.
Thank you for being so observant. I thought I was alone.
Even I get one right occassionally! I'll never claim to be the brightest bulb in the box, but geezzzzz, this is glaring! Blackbird.
