Houston Sanctuary Policy Keeps Illegal Alien Sex Trafficking Operation in Business

www.judicialwatch.org

JW investigators recently obtained documents from the Houston Police Department detailing a shocking sex trafficking operation run by illegal aliens, including a former prostitute, Maria Rojas, who had previously been deported. Importantly, the evidence uncovered by Judicial Watch shows the criminal activity continued unfettered for almost a decade right under the noses of Houston police officers who were hamstrung by the Houston Police Department’s sanctuary policy.

According to the documents, police officers responded to service calls to the business co-owned by Ms. Rojas on at least 60

Summary: In 2009, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the City of Houston, the Houston Police Department, and Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt on behalf of Houston Police Sergeant Joslyn M. Johnson. Sgt Johnson is the widow of former Houston Police officer Rodney J. Johnson, who was killed in the line of duty by an illegal alien named Jose Luis Rojas in 2006.

Rojas had numerous run-ins with the law and had previously been deported. The Houston Police Department’s "sanctuary policy," which prohibits law enforcement officials from detaining illegal aliens or inquiring about a person's citizenship status, allowed him to roam free to commit his crimes.

In Feb., 2011, Rojas and his sister, Maria (a legal resident who had a past arrest for prostitution and previous deportation) were indicted for running a sex slave trafficking ring believed to have been operating for almost a decade. It involved young women being lured into the country illegally from Mexico with false promises of employment, thereafter being forced to act as sex slaves at local Houston bars.

Judicial Watch learned that the sex slave ring continued to operate despite at least 60 calls for service by Houston P.D. that led to numerous prostitution arrests over a five-year period.

According to the Houston Chronicle, even law enforcement officials at the federal level were aware of the goings on at these establishments, but made little effort to investigate on a large scale.

Investigations by Judicial Watch and the Houston Chronicle suggest law enforcement knew of this sex slave ring, but failed to do anything about it, as vulnerable young women endured physical and psychological abuse while being forced to act as prostitutes out of fear.

It appears that not only did law enforcement officials turn their backs on this horrific crime, Houston's "sanctuary policy" gave them a red light to do this by prohibiting investigation into the citizenship status of those they encountered.

These circumstances not only allowed untold numbers of women to be victimized, but resulted in the death of a police officer at the hand of an illegal alien with a criminal past who remained free in their population.

Being a former police officer myself, stories like these really outrage me. Given the circumstances, it is highly doubtful that law enforcement was oblivious to this sex slave ring. And as for this "sanctuary policy"........it's just another failure on the part of the govt. to keep the criminal element on their own side of the border.

What kind of alien claw do they have for rent

All the more reason to get the illegal aliens out of our country. Why are these "sanctuary" cities not being sued by owebowmao? He sues Arizona for wanting to enforce federal laws, but lets these sanctuaries operate with impunity? What really surprises me is that this is happening in Texas though. Governor Perry's run for the presidency as a repuklicant is over before it starts. Pundits will keep beating him with it since it is in his state.

The lack of enforcement with respect to illegal immigrants is widespread in the U.S. Where I used to work, we had a huge influx of Mexican illegals. Many of them came to work the grape fields, but we had just as many who came to run drugs. We could arrest them and have Border Patrol take them back to Mexico, only to find them roaming the streets again three days later. It was an unbelievable waste of time and money. Not only that, but it's very hard to ascertain the true identities of some of these illegals because they have so many aliases. It's really a joke.

Well I guess we could always "tag and release". Put those mini rfid chips in their spines where they could not be easily or safely removed. Then send them home after confiscating anything and everything they own to pay for it.

I'm sure the boys from the company operating south of the border will know how to turn them off. Then they will use that as an excuse to chip the citizens. Be careful what you wish for.

The "alien claw" technology has not been disclosed, as the government wishes our country to undergo further disruption at the hands of illegal aliens before activating this top secret weapon.

You want to aggressively implant someone with something against their will and steal all of their property. I thought you were against big govt? You sound like a govt.

building a fence across the whole border seems like the cheaper alternative once everything is taken into perspective.

Maybe if our government would stop sending these cities financial aid, as well as tell the State government that they will get no financial aid either if they continue sending state funds to the cities.

Hit them in the pocket book.

Oops, my bad, there ARE states trying to rein in illegal immigration and the Feds are punishing them.

What is this? Opposite world? Do bad, get money, try to do good and get punished for it.

Not sure I want to know what you mean by that....

It is a shame that young women are being used and abused and nothing is being done about it! There is no excuse for this! Obama, if given his way will make an amnesty for all. Amnesty didn't help before, it only made things worse!

U.S. To Suspend Countless Deportations
"In a first for any administration, President Obama has implemented a new system to spare a myriad of illegal immigrants from removal by authorizing—and encouraging—low-level field officers to block deportations by using an outrageously broad list of exemptions."

"Clearly, this is the Obama Administration’s latest effort to fulfill a secret amnesty plan in case Congress doesn’t pass legislation to legalize the nation’s 12 million undocumented immigrants."

There have been thousands of deaths of US citizens because of ilegals. Many of those illegals had numerous arrests and deportations only to return again and cause more harm. How many more people have to suffer because our laws are not enforced?

Night Star, you are right about that.....not to mention the fact they are one of our country's primary producers of methamphetamine. This is a bigger problem than most people know about. They set up their operations in rural areas in and go undetected by the majority of the population while they crank out (pardon the pun) large quantities of meth to distribute. Once again, their use of aliases and their affinity for running back across the border if the heat gets hot makes them more difficult to capture.

Usually when any of us post the negative aspects of illegal immigration, we are called racist and a number of other colorful words.

Some people just want to see that nice folk are coming here and fail to see the murderers, pedophiles, rapists, drug lords, gangs, thieves etc.

And many of our citizens are un-employed and displaced in the workforce. There are people who still think that illegals are just working on farms.

Illegal immigration hurts us on many levels.

I can attest to the fact that those who come here to work, do work very hard--then, there's the element that is concerned with nothing but committing crime.
