NO VIOLENT CRIMINALS IN THE MIGRANT CARAVAN? GUESS AGAIN: Critics continually scoff at President Donald Trump’s claim that hundreds of violent criminals are among the estimated 8,500 migrants in the latest caravan, the advance elements of which are in Tijuana, Mexico.
Well, Trump critics, meet 46-year-old Miguel Angel Ramirez, fresh out of a Honduran prison where he served 10 years for homicide and three for robbery. Ramirez was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents late in the evening of November 24, along with two other younger men, after the trio illegally crossed the border from Tijuana, according to LifeZette.
“For those of you who criticized DHS warnings and have inaccurately portrayed the caravan as only innocent asylum seekers, we hope that your reporting reflects these facts moving forward,” Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton told journalists in announcing Ramirez’ arrest Friday. I hope he’s not holding his breath.
