Dreamers Arrested in Protests
Helped Those who
“Were There to Commit Crime
and Damage”

Illegal immigrants protected by an Obama-era amnesty for
adults who came to the U.S. as children are among the
rioters arrested and charged with crimes in Arizona.
One of them, 30-year-old Mexican illegal alien
Maxima Guerrero, is a community organizer with a
Phoenix-based grassroots migrant justice organization
called Puente Movement. She has been shielded
from deportation under Obama’s controversial program
known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
since 2013. The former president issued the DACA
executive order after Congress repeatedly rejected
legislation offering illegal immigrants similar protections.
The failed measure was called Development Relief
and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) and DACA
recipients are often called “Dreamers.”
More than 100,000 DACA applicants have criminal histories,
according to figures released late last year by the
U.S. government. Many have been arrested for serious crimes
such as murder, rape and driving under the influence.
The government can deport those charged with crimes,
immediately stripping them of the Obama protections but
that rarely occurs. The recent Phoenix arrestees were
apprehended in the course of criminal behavior, according
to a local news report and information obtained by
Judicial Watch from police sources on the ground.
Guerrero and two other Dreamers were out rioting and
looting in a “Justice for George Floyd” protest in downtown
Phoenix, city police sources tell Judicial Watch.
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said this in the media
about the vehicles occupied by the arrested Dreamers:
“Those cars were used to fortify and give rocks and water
bottles, food to those individuals who were there to
commit crime and damage, to do dangerous things to
our community.”
The information is especially relevant considering the source
is an open borders advocate. A few years ago Williams,
who joined protestors in downtown Phoenix, tried to make
her law enforcement agency an illegal immigrant sanctuary
at the request of a leftist group. Judicial Watch obtained records
of a secret meeting in 2017 in which the police chief of
Arizona’s largest city took orders from Will Goana, policy
director for the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU). The private session occurred just weeks
before the Phoenix Police Department quietly implemented
a policy banning officers from contacting the feds after
arresting an illegal immigrant and forbidding them from asking
about suspects’ immigration status. The order violated
key provision of a state law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court
and left the city vulnerable to costly lawsuits. Chief Williams
posted on social media that she attended protests because
demonstrators invited her as part of ongoing meetings to
find viable solutions to their genuine concerns.
“I’m confident our community can come together and be
stronger,” she writes in the post.
The illegal immigrant Dreamers recently arrested by her officers
are Mexican citizens who came to the U.S. illegally as
youngsters and enjoy perks and protections that many other
undocumented aliens do not. Part of the deal is that they
respect law and order to avoid being deported. Instead,
they were out at 3 a.m., well past a statewide curfew, and
up to no good. A vehicle occupied by the illegal alien Dreamers,
was “loaded with incendiary devices,” according to a high-level
Phoenix Police source, who confirmed to Judicial Watch that
Guerrero was among them. The Center for Immigration
Studies (CIS) obtained a list from Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) of those arrested that night.
Besides Guerrero they include 26-year-old Jesus Manuel Orona,
21-year-old Roberto Carlos Cortes Mondragon and
22-year-old Johan Montes Cuevas. CIS reported last week
that all of the illegal aliens were briefly detained, released
on supervision and face deportation in addition to serious
criminal charges.
DACA has shielded nearly 800,000 illegal aliens under the
age of 31 from deportation and allowed them to obtain work
permits and drivers licenses. The Trump administration tried
to end DACA in 2017 but open borders groups sued to keep
it going and now the Supreme Court is set to decide the matter.
Regardless of how the high court rules, the fact remains that
a big chunk of DACA applicants have arrest records,
according to the figures released by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency
that administers the nation’s lawful immigration system. The
stats show that nearly 110,000 DACA requestors out of
nearly 889,000 had arrest records, accounting for 12% of
applicants. “Offenses in these arrest records include assault,
battery, rape, murder and driving under the influence,” USCIS
wrote in a statement announcing the report in November.
Here is another disturbing fact; of approved DACA requestors
with an arrest, a whopping 85% (67,861) were arrested right
before the U.S. granted them amnesty. Nearly 25,000 DACA
recipients with arrests had multiple arrests and 218 had
more than 10 arrests. Incredibly, around one-fourth of the
illegal immigrants with more than 10 arrests were approved
by the government. In all, the government reveals that it has
approved 79,398 DACA requestors with arrest records.
Not all the delinquents are approved, the figures show.
More than 100,000 with criminal arrests were
denied or terminated.
