Not the 2018 case of the Fort Myers police officer shot and killed in the line of duty by an illegal alien visa-overstay nor the 2017 case of two paramedics in Jupiter killed by an illegal alien driver charged with the driving while intoxicated second degree felony death of the EMTs would sway the Democrats steadfast objections to the rule of law and supporting the lives of all Florida first responders and law enforcement.
Florida Democrats just didn't think law enforcement should cooperate with the Feds to remove dangerous illegal aliens from Florida communities; Governor DeSantis was right to push the Legislature to pass that bill.Opponents called it "one of the worst anti-immigrant laws in the country."
Now in just a few seven months after the Governor signed the bill into law comes ANOTHER illegal alien arrested in Florida only this time for the brutal assault of a federal agent.
Jorge Asencion Monge, 48 years old and an illegal alien living in Bonita Springs, Florida was arrested and booked into the Lee County jail on November 14, 2019 on charges of first degree felony assault on a federal Department of Homeland Security agent and second degree felony resisting arrest with violence. And YES, the jail booking records reflects he was subject to an ICE hold.
According to the arrest record reviewed by County Examiner, the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call for assistance from two Department of Homeland Security agents the evening of November 14. Due to an incident at a federal hearing that took place on an unknown date and regarding a fake identity the agents were out in the community to take Monge into custody.
The probable cause statement explains how Monge assaulted one of the DHS agents after also making a move for the agents firearm.
Think about it.
Monge HAD a prior interaction with law enforcement and that's when ICE should have taken him into custody--THATS why honoring immigration detainer requests with other jurisdictions in accordance with the rule of law and passing SB 168 was necessary.
