Some of the most violent criminals in Nebraska at large today and in our prisons are illegal aliens who have committed drunk driving, robbery, murder, shootings and drug trafficking.

Because of so-called “sanctuary policies”, a city’s employees, including the police, generally are prohibited from reporting immigration violations to federal authorities.

Local Nebraska governments must end their criminal-protecting sanctuary directives. Such public policy insanity is directly responsible for terrible crimes to innocent victims, as well as making the jobs of police far more difficult.

Omaha: Sudanese immigrant sentenced for cowardly act that killed 4-year-old son

The judge said, “it was a cowardly act — and a small child paid the price for it.” Changkouth Kor, a Sudanese immigrant was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum for the Christmas Eve manslaughter conviction in the death of his 4 year-old son.

The Nebraska Observer would like to know if this immigrant was legal or illegal. If he was legal, did he contract HIV prior to being diagnosed? If so, why are people with HIV being routinely admitted into the United States? It is our understanding that, some Sudanese routinely filter through the Douglas County court system for “wife beating” and “drugs”.

In the two years he has been in the United States, he has had two DUI convictions so who watches over that? Why doesn’t the World-Herald delve into the “real story” behind the Sudanese? What church sponsored them, if any? Why aren’t they coached in our customs?

Oh..yes..by the way, if you haven’t noticed, most Sudanese man are tall and thin! World-Herald story

Public’s help sought in finding man’s attackers

BY ANDREW J. NELSON – WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER – Wednesday May 28, 2008

A Bellevue man hit in the head with a baseball bat during an attack early Monday appeared to be doing better Tuesday, one of his brothers said. But the injuries Buna Wurok suffered are still life-threatening.

Although Wurok, 20, is awake and can speak to his family, he is in pain, his brain is swelling and he cannot move the left side of his body, said Shan Wurok, 32.

“The condition is not good right now,” he said.

Buna Wurok told officers a group of men approached him at 30th and Burt Streets and challenged him to a fight. After Wurok declined, one man bashed him in the head with a baseball bat. He is hospitalized at the Creighton University Medical Center.

Police did not announce any arrests in the case Tuesday.

Buna Wurok was born in Sudan. He and others in his family immigrated to the United States in 2004, Shan Wurok said. Buna Wurok graduated from Papillion-La Vista South High School in December and worked at Tyson Foods at the time of the assault.

Wurok’s family is asking for the public’s help in locating his attackers. Those with information that could help police can call Crime Stoppers at 444-7867.

Man shot by Omaha officer won’t face another trial

BY Todd Cooper – WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER – Published Friday May 23, 2008

The prosecution of Koko from Togo is a no-go.

The Douglas County Attorney’s Office on Friday dropped its remaining attempted first-degree assault charge against Koko Sessou, 24. Prosecutors had accused the immigrant from West Africa of trying to run down an off-duty Omaha police officer who had ordered him to leave the parking lot outside Eli’s Bar and Grille in Rockbrook Village.

A jury acquitted Sessou of trying to assault a DJ who was standing near Officer Dave Brumagen that night in April 2006. Sessou’s attorney, James Martin Davis said, Sessou is relieved that he no longer faces felony charges — charges that he feared could affect his immigration status in the U.S.

Lincoln: Three arrested in connection to break-ins

By the Lincoln Journal Star – Tuesday, May 13, 2008 – 10:55:33 am CDT

Deputies arrested two men and a teenage boy in connection to two rural residential break-ins in March.

Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner asked for helping finding a third man, 46-year-old Robert Rice, who he described as a “person of interest” in the case.

Deputies have arrested Jose Granado, 22, and a 15-year-old relative on suspicion of break-ins March 6 at two homes near Conestoga Lake, Wagner said.

In the first break-in, a door was forced open and a 40-inch LCD widescreen TV and alcohol taken, adding up to a $1,050 loss. About that same time, a couple of rifles and jewelry were taken from a nearby home. The loss was estimated at $13,650.

On April 30, deputies searched a duplex at 1619 S. 29th St., which led to the recovery of some of the stolen property, Wagner said. In all, investigators have found two rings, two firearms, the TV and power tools at four addresses, he said….story & pictures

Police release IDs of two men found dead

WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITERS

A man who lives next door to the duplex said Wednesday that he may have heard the fatal gunshots.

Kenneth Coup said he thought he heard two gunshots come from the duplex about 7:30 a.m.

“It sure sounded like gunshots, but I couldn’t swear to it,” Coup said. “I was getting my son ready for school, and that’s when I heard two loud pops from over there.”

Coup said the people who lived in the duplex had moved in about six months ago. Once in a while, he said, they would sit in the backyard, but they generally kept to themselves.

“The folks over there looked to be in their mid-30s,” Coup said. “I saw a lot of different people coming and going all the time.”

The duplex is in the Deer Park neighborhood, just north of Interstate 80 and across the street from Fire Station No. 3.

Associated Press – January 7, 2008 6:05 PM ET

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) – Authorities who detained an illegal immigrant during a traffic stop in Plattsmouth found he’s wanted for murder in El Salvador.

The Plattsmouth Police Department says a background check on 35-year-old Mario Ramirez-Canizales revealed that he is in the U.S. illegally and is wanted by Interpol for homicide.

He and three other men found to be illegal immigrants were reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following Monday morning’s traffic stop.

Gerardo Acacia-Cortes, a fifth man who was driving the vehicle, was arrested for suspicion of driving with a suspended license. There is also an outstanding warrant for the 24-year-old’s arrest by Omaha Police.
