WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A man, who the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said is undocumented, was previously cited for driving without a license, according to court records.
Andres Felipe Morales is one of three men facing charges after the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office said he along with two other men kidnapped a woman and she was sexually battered by him. The sheriff's office said the other two men are facing charges related to the sexual battery, Darinel Ordonez Jimenez and Marcos Felipe Ramirez, and also are undocumented.

Sheriff says government putting 'people in jeopardy' with border security​



According to court records, a woman was walking to an Orion gas station on Second Avenue. Then, records say a white pickup truck with metal poles approached the woman before a man grabbed her from behind, put her in a chokehold and dragged her into the pick-up truck.

According to the detective from the sheriff's office, the group went to two locations before she escaped near Lake Osborne.
According to the sheriff's office, the three men facing charges related to the event are from Guatemala.

Court records also show Morales was cited for driving without a license by the Palm Springs Police Department in January. WPTV reached out to the department late Wednesday about its policy for checking immigration status if a driver has never been issued a driver's license. We didn't receive a statement by publication.

Court records show the citation was “Nolle Prose," meaning the state attorney abandoned the charges. Court documents show the state agreed to abandon prosecution if the defendant provided or showed proof of paying $100 and obtaining a driver’s license, which is illegal for undocumented individuals. The charges were dropped after he paid $100 and successfully completed a diversion program.
Marc Freeman, who is a spokesperson for the State Attorney's Office in Palm Beach County, said the office wasn't aware of the man being undocumented and doesn't check for people it prosecutes.
Richard Hujber, who is an immigration attorney, said most law enforcement agencies don't regularly check immigration when they pull over drivers for traffic violations. He said the policy can differ by law enforcement agency, but it's usually a federal issue.

Richard Hujber, who is an immigration attorney, said most law enforcement agencies don't regularly check immigration status when drivers are pulled over for traffic violations.
"The local police generally speaking look at immigration matter as a federal matter," Hujber said. "It's not generally within their jurisdiction to see if somebody is here with immigration status because there are so many levels of immigration status."
He said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement performs checks once somebody is within custody like a jail. But a department could lose resources quickly for arresting people without a driver's license because it would have to apply the law equally to all people rather than just people suspected of being undocumented.
"I don't think there's anywhere near the resources," Hujber said. “Especially after COVID (-19) where they started releasing and issue of spaces, etc. They don’t have the resources to hold people based on a traffic ticket."

He said departments could and have faced challenges in court for selectively arresting people suspicious of being undocumented individuals.

A CALL FOR HUMANE TREATMENT OF MIGRANTS; Congressional Record Vol. 170, No. 9

(House - January 17, 2024)


The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from
Illinois (Mrs. Ramirez) for 5 minutes.
Mrs. RAMIREZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as the proud daughter of
Guatemalan immigrants, the wife of a Dreamer, and the Representative of
Illinois 3, a district proud of the contributions of the migrants who
call it home,
and a member of the Humboldt Park United Methodist
Church, a church that is formed by immigrants, a church that has been
serving the community for decades, and a church that built me and
taught me to put my faith into action and to advocate for our shared
humanity.
As a Methodist, I would like to share a call for prayer and action
from ``Metodistas Asociados Representando la Causa Hispano Americana,''
``Methodists Associated Representing the Cause of Hispanic/Latinx
American,'' the National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry of the
United Methodist Church, and the General Board of Church and Society of
the United Methodist Church.
As we just celebrated the season of Epiphany, we are reminded again
of the story of those three wise travelers who journeyed through many
lands and over borders in search of a newborn king.
We are reminded that after they found the infant Jesus, his mother,
and Joseph, the true peril of their mission began.

Herod's anxiety and paranoia led to one of the worst infant massacres
recorded in the Gospel text, and their earnest pilgrims' story
transformed the Holy Family's existence into a family like so many
today seeking asylum in other lands and, in particular, at our southern
border.
Therefore, we join in a call for the humane and sacred treatment of
migrants, refugees, and those who seek asylum at our borders as a
recognition that the same Jesus who traveled with his family on that
fateful night, can still be found in the faces of all of the families
we see on our TV screens and our social media spaces.
Along with this, we stand in opposition to the State of Texas SB 4
law, signed by Governor Greg Abbott, which allows police officials to
arrest and charge migrants with misdemeanors or more serious offenses
if they do not agree to leave by order of a State judge.
This law incentivizes racial profiling and further limits the rights
of due process for migrants fleeing unthinkable violence, poverty, and
death.

Furthermore, we oppose the inhumane treatment of migrants, refugees,
and asylum-seekers by Governor Abbott in transporting migrants to other
States without their knowledge or consent, only to abandon them on cold
streets without concern about the extreme cold weather and safety
issues they would face.
We call on this administration to honor the principles of so many of
the world religions that call us to mercy, to compassion, and to
welcome and hold sacred lives of immigrants, refugees, and asylum-
seekers when engaging in budget negotiations and stricter border
security measures.
We urge the administration to consider prayerfully those measures
that will lead to a safe and just resolution with a path toward
effective immigration solutions, funding to be able to process asylum
and refugee claims faster and more effectively, and intentional steps
to work with countries of origin to understand and combat the reasons
for this mass migration.
We call on our colleagues, Members of the House and Senate, to
negotiate in good faith with this administration, not in the hopes of
gaining political points, as we have seen, but in the spirit of their
shared citizenship in the world and with a deep conviction of what it
means to be a beloved community.
The Gospel of Matthew tells us that Herod tempted the wise men to
carry out his evil intentions toward the Christ child and his family.
However, in a dream, an angel warns them not to return to Herod.
Instead, they chose to return by another route.
Their courage and conviction should inspire all of us to choose
another route, one filled with compassion, with justice, with mercy,
and the belief that we are all made in the image of our creator and
endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We call on all Methodists and all humans everywhere to join us in the
call of action for prayer.
May we lead differently. May we recognize our shared humanity. May
our faith lead us to action. May we be reminded that we, in fact, have
a shared humanity and a responsibility to act justly and mercifully.

How does immigration then ethnic COLONIZATION really work?

They form ethnic tribal groups, COLONIZE AN AREA, we're 'sacred' human beings, constant push to bring in more family, friends. Get elected to office for their 'now' expanded group. Send money to their home country, taking away from city/state economy, apply for welfare EBT SNAP. The more free stuff the better.
They NEVER admit their ethnic group's crimes. They use religion, oh poor immigrants, oh the humanity.

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — An undocumented immigrant from Guatemala is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 11-year-old girl in Lake Worth Beach, deputies said.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the suspect, Marvin Perez Lopez, 20, was arrested Saturday.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the incident occurred Thursday in a parked van near the family's home.
The child's mother told investigators that she thought her daughter was inside their home but wasn't, so she went outside to find her.
After walking around, she realized her daughter was in the van with a man.

She told them she banged on the van and asked them what they were doing and the suspect ran out of the van, saying he was sorry and asked for forgiveness. The affidavit said the child and Lopez live in the same apartment building.

The affidavit said the mother didn't call the police because she was afraid due to her immigration status and a prior incident when her daughter was taken from her by authorities for a short time.
Investigators also interviewed the 11-year-old girl, who is in the sixth grade. The affidavit said she told investigators that her attacker grabbed her hand and told her to "get into the van." She said he started touching her and pushed Lopez away. The child said she was able to get out of the van, however, he grabbed her and pulled her back into the vehicle.
The girl then outlined to investigators how Lopez sexually assaulted her.
Detectives said they went to Lopez's home on South K Street on Friday night to speak with him. When they knocked on his door, detectives said Lopez exited a window in the back of the home and ran west into an alley.
Investigators spoke with a family member at the suspect's home who said he knew why Lopez ran "because of what happened yesterday," saying that the girl's mother came to their door and told him.

Hermencia Vasquez told WPTV that she was home when her brother-in-law was accused of sexual assault.

"It was 9 at night and the lady/mom came into my house saying that something happened with her daughter and Marvin," Vasquez said. "I asked Marvin what would he do if she got pregnant and if he would be responsible, and he said yes he would be responsible for the child."
Detectives said Lopez left Guatemala in early January, crossed through Mexico and turned himself in to U.S. Border Patrol. The sheriff's office said Lopez was given a court date for some time in 2027 and released from custody.
According to investigators, he found his way to Florida at the end of January 2024.
In a Monday post on the sheriff's office X page, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said workers at the Guatemalan Maya Center alerted them about the sexual assault.
"Our work in the community paid off because we have a good relationship with that center," Bradshaw said. "We have a lot of people here in Palm Beach County that may or may not be illegal, and they become victims. They shouldn't be afraid to call us. We're not going to call Border Patrol if they're a victim and haven't committed a crime. We're going to help them."
Bradshaw said Lopez has confessed and will face trial in the U.S.

"Before he even remotely even thinks he's going to get deported, he's going to do the time here first," Bradshaw said.

'Courts Are Overwhelmed'

Why was Lopez given a court date for 2027? Immigration attorney Richard Hujber said he knows the answer.
"So, the courts are overwhelmed, for sure, that's the answer," Hujber told WPTV.
He said vetting at the border is poor.
"They know they'll get a hearing date many years from now and during that time, just with that hearing notice, for example, they can get a driver's license," Hujber said. "If they seek asylum, they can also get a work permit, and nobody is looking at the merit as to whether they have a legitimate valid asylum claim."
Lopez faces charges of kidnapping a minor under 13 years of age and sexual assault.
He is being held in the main Palm Beach County Jail without bond.
