Oh Noes: NICE Arrested A Whole Bunch Of Illegals In Memphis Opinion - Conservative

Stories like these should simply be a few paragraphs long, basically crime reports where a bunch of people were arrested. But, when it involves illegals the Credentialed Media puts their all into the Sob Stories How a Memphis Gambling Raid Became a Sweeping Immigration Operation For the people dressed up in sparkly skirts and cowboy boots, Saturday nights were best spent at El Corralón. The cantina, tucked in the middle of Berclair, a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in Memphis, Tenn., was a rowdy joint where the mix of regional Mexican music and bachata was loud, the pool tables plenty and beer cheap enough. Gambling machines jangled by the wall. Then, in recent weeks, neighbors started spotting drones overhead. Suspicious vans parked by the dumpsters. Unfamiliar patrons came in and left quickly. Some in the neighborhood believed the gambling machines, illegal in Tennessee, might make the business a target. Gee, ya think? But the cantina remained open. Last Sunday, a crush of agents raided El Corralón, searching for the owner, Marco Sabillon-Urbina, an immigrant from Honduras, but detaining anyone who was in the country illegally. In the end, the operation targeting illegal gambling and drugs spiraled into one of Tennessee's largest sweeps of undocumented immigrants this year, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalates its operations across the country. More than 120 people were detained, inflaming tensions in Memphis, where many residents were already on edge over a separate federal anti-crime task force that, among other things, has also targeted immigrants. Wait, so, what happened to the sparkly skirts and cowboy boots? They were exchanged for illegal gambling and drugs, eh? How is arrested a whole bunch of people 'inflaming tensions'? Would anyone in the news and politics give a damn if it was a bunch of whites, blacks, or Asians? If they were all lawful citizens of the US? 'This takes them back to being afraid and not wanting to go out again,' said Jose Salazar, a community organizer who assists the immigrant community in Memphis. 'All those fears and concerns are worse now.' Maybe illegals shouldn't be engaged in open crimes which allows the to be easily caught Tennessee and other Republican-led states have also deepened coordination with the Trump administration and immigration authorities. In May, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation asked ICE for help identifying an undocumented man it suspected was involved in criminal activity at El Corralón, court records show. The man, Mr. Sabillon-Urbina, first arrived in the United States in 1994 and received Temporary Protected Status in 1999; that status lapsed in January 2020 after he failed to renew the paperwork, federal law enforcement said in court record He was sent back to Honduras in 2023 as part of a federal plea agreement in connection with possession of drugs and a firearm. He was deported again in 2024 after trying to re-enter the United States. Those are felony violations of US immigration laws for illegal re-entry, along with the other felonies. This is who the Democrats are trying to protect. So, here's a question: how in the fuck was he the owner of the cantina? Who loaned the money? How did this illegal with multiple deportations and felony charges get a business permit? Who was ignoring him having illegal gambling machines? The DOJ should sweat the hell out of him for names. Several relatives of people were who detained said they were angry at both ICE and Mr. Sabillon-Urbina. They said the bar owner had risked the lives of the very immigrants his business catered to. Sofia, an undocumented immigrant from Honduras in her 20s who asked to be identified by only her first name because of her status, said her mother was detained that night and could soon be deported. She was saddened to see comments on Facebook criticizing people like her mother who had risked going out. Her 8-year-old brother believes their mother is out on a work trip. But soon, Sofia said, she will have to tell him what really happened. Sob sniffle.
