Friday, Sep 11: Immigration Issues

WBSM presents the very Richard show streaming live on WBSM.com and the WBSM app call 508-996-0500 text us using app chat on the WBSM app now the very Richard show and welcome back out of the program 207 is our time on a Friday afternoon so Governor Maura Healey has released new guidance and implementation resources for state government agencies, health care providers, law enforcement and employers following the passage of the PROTECT Act. Healey signed the PROTECT Act on August 5th to establish state-level restrictions on civil immigration enforcement tactics. The law limits civil arrests in non-public areas of state property, healthcare facilities, courthouses, schools, child care programs and nursing homes while restricting local law enforcement participation in federal civil immigration actions. Under the guidelines issued by Healey and the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, civil law enforcement activities and civil arrests are prohibited in designated non-public areas of state property unless authorized by a judicial warrant required by law or necessary to address an immediate health or safety threat. State agencies must review property portfolios to designate non-public spaces to preserve public access to government services. Guidelines are intended to protect residents accessing government functions and on and on it goes. None of this stuff is even constitutional anyway and this federal law supersedes anything that Maura Healey puts her signature on. But ICE Boston, which is the lead office for ICE operations in our region, hauled a Jamaican illegal immigrant off the streets of Springfield on Wednesday. A man charged with seven counts of child rape. Seven counts of child rape and ICE that Maura Healey doesn't want in Massachusetts, calls him a rogue agency and all this kind of stuff. Picked up this guy Jermaine O'Neal Thompson faces two pending counts of aggravated rape of a child. On top of that he's under a separate arrest for five counts of rape of a child with force, assault with intent to rape a child and intimidation of a witness. Federal officials picked him up during targeted operations in Springfield according to Mass Daily News. That's the unprofessional, untrained, rogue agency that Maura Healey rails against for political purposes. Mass Daily News says his criminal history includes pending charges for two counts of aggravated rape of a child and arrest on five counts. Meanwhile ICE Boston had a busy August. They pulled six child sex offenders, a convicted Cambodian gang leader that the Biden administration released back onto the street in 2021, a New England sex trafficker, five kidnappers and weapons offenders, three domestic abusers and two foreign fugitives, 18 illegal immigrants with rap sheets so long that ICE needed a spreadsheet to keep them off straight. Continuing with reporting from Mass Daily News here, every arrest is sourced directly from ICE Boston's own posts on X. These 18 arrests aren't ICE Boston's August total, not even close. They are the individual cases the agency chose to publicize because the criminal histories were egregious enough to make the case for enforcement in a state that has spent this year trying to obstruct it. The full Boston office August removal count across the six-state region and covering Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine runs into the hundreds. What follows is the public rap sheet, the arrests bad enough for ICE to want the public to know about. Under the title of child predators, 6 of August's 18 ICE Boston arrests involved the illegal immigrants accused of convicted sex crimes, three specifically against children. You've got Martin Carias Rees of Honduras arrested in Boston, aggravated statutory rape, prior arrests, rape of a child and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. Then you got Fabiano Silvino dos Santos of Brazil arrested on August 1st in Fall River, charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a child under 14. Peking's Azuong of Cameroon arrested in August following his release from Mass. Department of Corrections custody, 12 adult arraignments on his record including convictions for rape and solicitation to commit a crime. Moussa Sai of Senegal arrested in Portland, Maine convicted of felony sexual assault. Steve J. Jokov Mozi of Haiti arrested in August on the 21st in Burlington, Mass. Conviction for battery, prior arrests for assault to rape. Osafa Aguiar da Costa from Brazil arrested August 21 in Suffield, Connecticut convicted of sexual assault, assault and risk of injury to a child. Then there's the gang killer that Biden released that I mentioned. His name is Fai Yu from Cambodia. He was arrested on August 18th, described by Ice Boston as a confirmed gang leader with a conviction for murder and possession of a firearm. He had previously been in ice custody in 2021. The Biden administration released him. Four years later, Ice Boston went back and got him. Then there's the sex trafficking case. Lai Zhang from China arrested on August 4th in New Britain, Connecticut. Pending charges for prostitution of a person 16 or older. The kidnapper, the weapons guy and the riot. Five arrested in this bucket says Mass Daily News. Spanning felony assault, drug trafficking, kidnapping and a failure to disperse at the scene of a riot. Charge raises its own questions about what our subject was doing there. Luis Carlos Teixeira or Teixeira da Costa of Portugal. Arrested August 5th following his release from Rhode Island, Department of Corrections custody, convictions for drug trafficking and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Juggins Jewels from Haiti. Arrested August 8th in Framingham, pending charges for assault with a dangerous weapon. Pierre Laforte Lubin from Haiti. Arrested August 13th in Brockton, pending charges for felony assault with a dangerous weapon and failure to disperse at the scene of a riot. Jimmy Camara from Uganda. Arrested August 19th in North Billerica. Conviction for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery causing serious bodily injury. Avishai Alon from Israel. Arrested August 20th in Concord, New Hampshire. Convictions for kidnapping, criminal threat against the person with a deadly weapon and drug possession. Three August arrests featured convictions or pending charges for assault on family or household members. In a region where domestic violence cases are already among the hardest to prosecute, ICE removed three more offenders from their from the equation this month. Let's see, we have Edras Gudeal Rivera from Guatemala. Arrested on August 7th in Waltham. Drug possession, assault and battery on a family or household member and unlicensed operation. Carlos D'Souza Brazil. Arrested August 11th in Everett. Arrest for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Dishonorly conduct and assault and battery on a family member or a family abuse. Edzas Trenas from Latvia. Arrested August 22 in Middleton, Mass. Pending charges for assault and battery on a household member. Some foreign fugitives as well. Two August arrests involved illegal immigrants who had already been through the U.S. immigration system once and returned. One previously removed by ICE, the other a fugitive from prosecution in his home country. And who have you got here? We've got Miguel Angel Bramal Hermitano from Mexico. Arrested in Fall River. Previously removed from the country. Rap sheet includes hit and run with property damage. Clayton Toledo D'Souza from Brazil. Arrested August 27th in Norwood. A foreign fugitive from Brazil. U.S. records indicate conviction for OUI and arrests for leaving the scene of a collision. Then there's the six child sex offenders. A Cambodian gang killer. Let me hold on here. I think this is just a recap of what I just read to you. Yeah it is. So that's a recap. So hundreds of arrests throughout New England by ICE Boston, which is the regional office. Hundreds of arrests. Those are the 19 worst. They consider them to be the worst of the worst. Taken off the streets in New England. Several in Massachusetts including Fall River by what Moore Healy calls a rogue agency. And every elected Democrat wants to see defunded and eliminated. Sounds to me like they're doing a pretty damn good job and should be given raises. And then there's the case of Judge Shelley Joseph. Remember Shelley Joseph? Her name may not ring a bell to you immediately. She was the other judge in Massachusetts. Newton District Court judge who let in illegal immigrant out the back door as opposed to having to go through the lobby where ICE was waiting for him. Yeah remember that? That happened back in 2018. We talked about it here. Fox News. Some actually some of the some of the local media too. Boston Herald has a piece on it. Fox News National has a piece on it. The highest court in Massachusetts has publicly rebuked a district court judge over her role in a case involving an illegal immigrant who evaded arrest by ICE for Judge Shelley Joseph. The decision brings to a close a legal saga that began on April 2 2018 when Jose Medina Perez left the Newton District Court through a rear courthouse exit. All while an ICE officer was waiting in the lobby to take him into custody. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's ruling centered on a sidebar with Medina Perez's attorney and the prosecutor during which Joseph instructed her clerk to shut off the courtroom's recording system. The respondents statements during that conversation including her proposal to detain Medina Perez overnight in state custody and her conduct in instructing the clerk to turn off the courtroom audio recording system created an appearance of impropriety and violation of her duties according to the Thursday ruling from the Supreme Judicial Court. So according to essentially boiling it down with the Supreme Judicial Court says is this woman was new to the bench it's only on the bench five months had no idea what the hell was going on. She didn't realize according to the court that by letting this guy loose from having to stay overnight in jail was going to mean he was going out the back door and avoiding an ICE encounter in the hallway. She was unaware the SJC said that Joseph was unaware that Medina Perez attorney David Jelinek devised the plan to help his client to evade ICE by escorting him to the courthouse lockup where the court officer would release him through a rear Sally Port exit. The court also found that Joseph neither explicitly nor implicitly approved of that plan. The woman is on the bench still currently in Boston. Medina by the way had a number of charges he was before her on drug charges he had a rap sheet that took him back to Pennsylvania drunk driving and all kinds of other stuff and you know why releasing him was even under consideration in the first place is beyond me but Judge Joseph is still adjudicating cases and she is in Boston right now so good luck to the good folks in Boston right this is what you got on the bench there. Boston Municipal Court Judge and on and on it goes. Quick break we'll come right back stay tuned.

welcome back where are we where are we this goes over here this goes over here so a couple of stories that I make sure anything else I don't need to get in here yeah I got a stack of things that I want to get in I don't always get chance to get them in but I always try to take advantage of a moment or two and I got some free time here to pass information on to you and anybody a fan of Brandon Gill a Republican congressman from California from Texas you probably see him all over the internet he's everywhere and he's really he's a real firebrand he's a sharp sharp guy I think you will see Brandon Gill at some point in a higher position but representative Brandon Gill generated a viral moment Wednesday during his speech the first night of the Republican midterm convention and he opened up his remarks with a land acknowledgment now I've talked about land acknowledgements here before because I've seen I've heard them and never really knew what was going on but then later it was explained to me and then now I'm aware of it when I see them and hear them but you know I was at the Zyterian theater back in the probably in the spring maybe they had the US Coast Guard band concert I think it was Memorial Day I remember correctly actually and we took my mother-in-law there for the afternoon and they opened up the show with a land acknowledgment wasn't a Coast Guard band it was the folks at the Z which doesn't shock me but this is the thing that the left-wingers are doing now okay and they're coming out and they're saying stuff like on this land once sat the Wampanoag Indian tribe and they were a proud tribe and they you know occupied this whole area and blah blah blah blah blah blah the whole point of it is to tell you that you are now sitting on stolen land that's the whole point of it and they do this everywhere now that the Libs do it everywhere so Representative Gill comes out open his remarks of the land acknowledgment and said I'd like to acknowledge that we stand here today in the great state of Texas and the United States of America it's the ancestral homeland of great American patriots pioneers and explorers who put down roots fight for freedom all over the globe and bled and died to build the greatest civilization ever known to man crowd went nuts told Fox News Digital afterward that it was his way of fighting back against Democrats way of viewing the United States listen you see Democrats all the time wanting to begin their conversations or their gatherings by acknowledging making some bizarre land acknowledgment that we live on stolen land and that they essentially want to apologize for our country Gil said I think most Americans believe rightfully so that we live in the greatest country that's ever existed and I'm not going to apologize for it certainly most Americans don't want their elected officials apologizing for it either so if you hear that at the opening of a concert or a lecture or a show or anything you'll know what that's all about in case you haven't heard he had really caught me by surprise when I heard it I wasn't quite sure what was going on then I've heard them since and it's been explained to me what a land acknowledgment you know the funny point about these limousine liberals is they all want to make land acknowledgments but not one of them offers their property back to the Indians that they displaced right I'm sitting here on you know on this Indian land and everything else but I'm not giving back my house sorry this my house is my property but just wanted you to know that once it was Indian property if we didn't steal it we didn't steal it would be Indian property but I ain't giving it back so don't even be asking 508 9 9 6 0 500 you're mixing WBSM thanks for hanging on Oh Barry I just I just love liberals sadly I can't understand them at all what what is it about them that they feel that I mean I like this goody two-shoes you know what I mean it's just shut up something wrong somebody did something wrong somewhere yeah and there you know it's like well we have to pay reparations for slavery oh wait a second you mean for the black people here in the United States yeah well they're the lucky ones because the ones that were kept behind in Africa died you know at the hands of their Muslim slave masters if they couldn't sell you you starve to death so the blacks here are the lucky ones Barry so reparations dear God no they should thank God that there's the United States that saved their lives well I'll tell you what you bring me one slave you know from from the slavery days bring them to me bring me you know one Indian that that lost his land or whatever and I will personally write a check to them but none live hey I didn't take anybody's land and I didn't hold anybody as a slave so sorry ain't got a nickel out of me I don't know they're just guilty two quick points the judge I guess it's it's okay to be ignorant of the law is that what the SJC was saying Barry essentially yes oh that's good cuz yeah I'm gonna use that next time the cops stop me it's a lie I didn't know I didn't know it's a law there's no excuse she made a decision based upon her ignorance and as a result in a criminal illegal immigrant was let free on society and ICE agents had to put their lives on the line and go out capture the guy yeah exactly she didn't know that federal law supersedes state law even though it's part of the oath of office that she swears to but hey what do I know the second quick point we're talking about data centers yes I want you to think of them now Barry as big libraries because when you quote save stuff to the cloud it's going to a data center and all the new information that is derived every day in the world from archaeology or chemistry or medicine or astronomy whatever it is mathematics it gets put into a database and it has to be saved somewhere Barry is there an information is is it's an it's infinite I mean there's no end to it so we're gonna continue to have to I mean we're gonna have more more data centers so we have gravestones I guess at some point you won't be able to swing a cat without hitting a data center yeah Wow hopefully though they'll be able to miniaturize much of the equipment so that it won't take up space or put them in out of space so that they circle a globe or put them on boats so they float in a river or some darn thing but that's what's happening Barry is all the information that used to be in like libraries and such is now going into databases and as the more we learned and it's exponential we need places to keep this information amazing amazing times we're living in just blowing on my socks off Barry it's amazing yes thanks I appreciate it 508-996-0500 is the number and I just you know I just science is just so amazing to me in technology and yeah I always you know we often talk about in here about the data data centers the data centers or whatever I never really understood what they were and yesterday I got a good explanation as to what they are and you know just kind of blows my mind because I save stuff off on the internet or I ask my AI you know hey you know what's I don't know what did I ask today what's what what is the first day of fall and you know just goes right to it and puts prints it right out for me or just puts it on them on my phone or whatever and you know you don't even think that this information is being stored somewhere right there's no live human being sitting on the other side with a Funkin Wagnall looking it up and in you know telling me it's it's stored information it's information stored somewhere and somebody put it in there and so that's what's amazing about the whole thing that's what these data centers are they store data on anything that you could possibly ever want to know and anything you might ask for so that they're within nanoseconds they can go they can go into the into the archive and find things and pass it right on to you instantaneously that's pretty cool stuff actually I mean it really is when you think about it I just like you know it's like like I've often said I don't know the process of you flip the light switch and light goes on it's it I don't need to know that the you know the thing is a circuit breaker and it opens up a line of this that don't even bore me with it I don't care I just want to flip the light and have it on same thing here I want to ask my my phone give me directions to Albuquerque and in poof there it is within seconds a whole map and everything telling me which roads are congested which ones might be closed what's the fastest route and all this guys I just I love that stuff but I don't need to understand how over I you know hearing loss isn't waiting for old age anymore research from the CDC shows that nearly one in five people in their 20s and 30s already have early noise hearing damage and standing standard hearing tests don't always pick it up earbuds headphones loud see everybody walking around with those buds in their ears right a little white buds and you wonder what the hell are those white things hanging out of their ears or their earbuds you're listening to music or podcasts or whatever a lot of noise around you construction sirens all the you know the stuff that people often complain especially young people I hear but I don't always understand in restaurants or busy classrooms maybe they jacked the TV or the phone louder maybe getting intermittent ringing or buzzing after a loud outing so warning signs that you need to see the good audiologist and I can recommend one I just happen to know one dr. Nancy Duncan and Duncan hearing health care my good friend and my personal audiologist for the last 16 years if you notice any of those signs above you want to get in touch with Duncan hearing health

Richard on WBSM call 508-996-0500 and welcome back out of the program it is 247 on a Friday afternoon so this September 11 20th anniversary is a nice day turned out to be a pretty nice day got some rain coming up on Sunday but tomorrow looks like it's gonna be okay probably the bed well definitely the better day of the two and then I'm looking ahead toward like late next week and everything and we're looking at a string of sweater weather coming up temperatures are only gonna be in the 60s during the day and stuff so that's pretty cool if you like that and you know I don't mind breaking out some of my sweatshirts have a collection of hood hooded sweatshirts everywhere I've traveled I buy hooded sweatshirts that's my souvenir some people buy shot glasses some people buy coffee mugs some people buy you know whatever is their souvenir I always buy a hooded sweatshirt from where I go and then what I wear it it's you know it's kind of cool it's like almost like being there all over again but so why am I even talking about this oh yeah the sweater weather next week so I just prepare for that I'm gonna get a little bit cooler it's gonna continue to you right so anyway we had reported to you back in July that legislation in Washington that would have banned members of Congress and their families from my trading individual stocks while in office it passed the house but we never had a breakdown of who voted for it we were just simply told that every Republican voted for it and every most Democrats voted against it including now we're finding out that every single Massachusetts Democrat voted against it the the actual vote was 232 to 198 so some Democrats voted for it it was the stop inside a Trading Act HR 7008 and it passed and again it would it would ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office they should have called it the Nancy Pelosi law but they were kind so again every Republican voted yes we finally got the actually was a mass daily news that had the finally got the boat tally I'm not the tally but in identification of who voted which way on it and a breakdown good word right breakdown of the boat and every Massachusetts Democrat voted against it including Jim McGovern Laurie Trey and Jake Auchincloss Richard Neal Katherine Clark Seth Moulton a Anna Presley Stephen Lynch and Bill Keating your own congressman why would Bill Keating who's up for re-election in 53 days here why would he vote against legislation that bans members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office why would he vote against that you can ask yourself these questions when you're going to vote this year right the Nancy Pelosi law we all will sit and wonder and we all talk about gee how do these guys get so rich when they're in office well you know got these itty bitty teeny tiny salaries and yet they all become millionaires the bill would have banned members of Congress their spouses and their dependent children from buying or selling individual stocks bonds commodities futures and options while in office mutual funds and US Treasury securities would have been allowed members already in office would have been forced to divest place their holdings in a qualified blind trust or unload their portfolios before taking the oath Pelosi's net worth has ballooned during her decades in Congress in significant part because of widely reported well-timed stock trades that were executed under her family's name she made a lot of money off the market so why would the entire Massachusetts congressional delegation all Democrats why would they vote no on that isn't that good government you know there used to be a thing called ethics where you would you would vote for something like that just because you didn't want the perception of any wrongdoing not anymore this was a Republican backed bill in fact it was it was called for by President Trump if you remember that's enough of a reason why the Democrats in Massachusetts would vote against it besides the fact that they must be making money on it right can you think of any other reason why because I sure as hell can't got a release from the city New Bedford today um city New Bedford greater New Bedford refuge management district partnering with black earth compost to launch a new curbside food scrap collection incentive program for New Bedford residents the program provides residents with another convenient option to reduce household trash by having food scraps collected directly from their homes and transformed into nutrient-rich compost try to preserve the capacity of the landfill so free starter kits to try to encourage participants the city and the refuge district will provide free starter kits to the first 100 New Bedford residents who enroll we used to do this we talked about it on this program not that long ago we used to do this in New Bedford I think all around the era we talked about it remember you had the the swill pail in the ground I know in New Bedford they were in the ground guy came in stepped on a pedal and pulled the the swill barrel out of the ground I think back in those days it was sold to pig farms and stuff like that so just think about you're gonna have a garbage can out front of your house now and or along the side of your house or in your backyard and your food scraps gonna push go scrape your plate oh the lineup kids all the kids go out in the yard and scrape their plate into this swill bucket now I don't want to be fun 508 996 0500 new reasons why you got to clean your plates you don't have stinky smelly swill pails in your yard break we're coming right back and welcome back that's gonna do it for us today and on this September 11th 25th anniversary I feel like we're you know on a concert tour September 11th 25th anniversary special and hmm kind of weird but you know it's a sad sad it shouldn't be a real sad day because I mean it is 25 years but it should be a day of learning and educating ourselves about certain things in the world and and in our country and being introspective and stuff like that but in any event I can't think of a better place to be than right here with you guys to think about it
