Refugee/Migrant Crisis

[Bar Sinister]

Canada isn’t a White or Christian country. Europe certainly is White, but Europe is declining fast. The future is in Asia-Pacific, especially Malaysia, which is a Muslim country. The future of immigration will be to Asia-Pacific. Even White people will want to move there since Europe is declining fast. Russia, Europe’s largest country, will be a disaster soon. They are not only paralyzed by sanctions, the value of Ruble is ridiculously low, they are in high debt, capital flight, population shrinking, widespread alcoholism, extremely high suicide rate, and a dictator (Putin) who is making things worse driving his country off a cliff. White people will no longer be top dog, it’s inevitable, it’s already happening.

Somehow I think that most Europeans are pretty happy right where they are. That is why Canada originally began to accept immigrants from non-European nations. Given that most Asia-Pacific nations other than Australia and New Zealand are already pretty crowed I doubt that they will be accepting many immigrants. And I'm not sure why you chose Malaysia as an example. True, it has done quite well in the lat couple of decades, but it is a rather small country. China and Indonesia would be better examples.

OTTAWA — New figures released today show the number of asylum seekers arriving at the Canada-U.S.. border almost doubled last month.
The latest data shows 5,712 people were stopped by the RCMP in August, up from 3,134 in July.
More than 5,550 of those encounters were in Quebec, but British Columbia also registered a small surge of its own, with numbers there doubling from 51 people stopped in July to 102 in August.
In total, 13,211 people have been intercepted by the RCMP in between official points of entry since the start of the year.
The vast majority came to Canada in search of asylum, although at this point it is unknown how many have actually filed claims.
But the latest statistics show that asylum claims being lodged in Canada continue to rise as well — 4,905 were filed in August, compared to just over 4,000 in July.

Canada border agent detentions of Mexicans surge to highest levels in decade

TORONTO — Detentions of Mexican nationals by Canadian border agents have surged dramatically this year to levels not seen in a decade, new figures obtained by The Canadian Press show.
According to Canada Border Services Agency, the total number of detentions from Jan. 1 into the first week of September hit 2,391 — roughly six times the 411 in all of last year — and equal to the previous five years combined.
“CBSA cannot speculate why the number has increased,” spokesman Barre Campbell said in an email Thursday. “The agency’s role is to apply Canadian law at the border.”
The sharp increase has contributed to a rise in the rate of detentions of all foreign nationals this year. Figures show agents detained 1,032 people each month this year, compared to 877 a month last year and 993 in 2015.
Experts point to two main factors as the most likely cause of the upswing in Mexicans running afoul of border agents in Canada.
Last December, the Liberal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lifted a visa requirement for Mexicans coming to this country, making it easier to do so. The result was an immediate jump in detentions.
Additionally, the crackdown on undocumented migrants under U.S. President Donald Trump and his threat to remove deportation protections from those foreigners who entered the States illegally as children — the vast majority Mexicans — may also have prompted many of those affected to look north to Canada.
Scott Bardsley, spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, said on Thursday that Canada was working with Mexican officials to monitor migration trends and address any risks.
“Canadian officials have co-operated closely with Mexican counterparts to lay the ground work for the visa lift and ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place,” Bardsley said in an email. “These efforts include measures to identify and deter irregular migration, including bolstering co-operation on travel-document integrity and traveller screening.”
The last time the Mexican detention numbers were anywhere near current levels was in 2008, at 3,301, border agency numbers show. That year also saw the number of Mexicans seeking refugee status in Canada reach record levels.
In response to what they characterized as phoney refugee claims, the former government under then-Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper imposed an onerous visa requirement in 2009 that meant all would-be Mexican visitors had to provide numerous supporting documents.
“We are spending an enormous amount of money on bogus refugee claims,” Harper said at the time. “This is a problem with Canadian refugee law, which encourages bogus claims.”
Harper’s visa decision resulted in an immediate plunge in detentions and asylum claims that lasted until 2015, with a slight uptick happening last year. However, the requirement angered the Mexican government and civil-rights groups in Canada among others, ultimately leading to Trudeau’s reversal of that decision late last year.
Bardsley defended dropping the visa requirement as a boon to bilateral relations, trade, investment and tourism that he said will result in lasting economic benefits for Canada.
Recent Immigration and Refugee Board statistics also show a dramatic increase in asylum requests from Mexicans this year, although the vast majority of such applications are rejected as unfounded.
In 2016, for example, 242 Mexicans applied for refugee status. Almost three times as many — 660 — were recorded in the first seven months of this year alone. The board does not keep statistics of how many people came via the U.S. rather than from Mexico itself.
The law allows the border agents to detain foreign nationals or permanent residents on reasonable suspicion they pose a danger to the public, may go underground, or where identity is in doubt. The CBSA data relates to detentions not detainees and may include a person detained more than once.

FREDERICK, Md. — Authorities in Maryland have charged two teens with kidnapping and raping a classmate and police say a third suspect is at large.
The Frederick News-Post reported Wednesday that police said in court documents that a female acquaintance of the victim may have persuaded the suspects to act.
Police said the girl told them she was grabbed while walking home on Sept. 2, taken to an apartment and sexually assaulted. According to police, she said two were classmates who allegedly told her they were acting on orders from the younger female acquaintance.
Frederick authorities charged 19-year-old Victor Antonio Gonzalez-Guttierres and 17-year-old Edgar Natanal Chicas-Hernandez, who’s charged as an adult. Police didn’t identify the third suspect.
Court documents don’t identify the female acquaintance, who repeatedly denied involvement.
It wasn’t clear if any had lawyers.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement Thursday that the agency has lodged an immigration detainer for Gonzalez-Guttierres. ICE says he is from El Salvador.

Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY


The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.

And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.

President Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and conservatives in Congress are moving aggressively to deal with illegals, especially those with long criminal records. But their effort is being fought by courts and some 300 so-called "sanctuary communities" that refuse to work with federal law enforcement.

Approximately 50% of refugee claims rejected after spike in crossings

OTTAWA — About half of the asylum claims heard so far from those who’ve crossed the Canada-U.S.. border since July have been rejected, the Immigration and Refugee Board said Tuesday.
But the actual number of cases the board has heard since then is a mere fraction of the 8,000 or so claims that have been filed to date.
Shereen Benzvy Miller, the head of the IRB’s refugee protection division, told a House of Commons immigration committee hearing that 240 have already been finalized, and a further 373 had been scheduled as of earlier this week, with the rate of rejection around 50%.
That’s in line with the historical acceptance rate for claims by Haitian nationals in past years; the vast majority of the asylum seekers who have arrived in Quebec in particular since the summer are Haitian.
In August, the board set up a dedicated team of 17 members to hear asylum claims solely from the border crossers. The fate of those who crossed before July remains unclear, as those claims were just part of the board’s general caseload and aren’t specifically tracked.
The dedicated team is aiming to hear about 1,500 cases between now and the end of November. After that, claims from the border crossers will go back to being part of the regular workflow.
It’s a case load that has overwhelmed the board, Miller told the committee Tuesday.
The board is funded to hear at most 24,000 cases a year and at present, is anticipating more than 40,000 to be filed in all of 2017.
Read government asylum claim numbers here
There are currently 40,000 cases in the backlog as well, she said. Wait times for a hearing are currently about 16 months with nowhere to go but up, she added.
“The math is clear — unless you put more resources to this problem, then it takes longer time to schedule so there will be longer wait times.”
The reason so many people have chosen to cross illegally into Canada in order to claim asylum is the Safe Third Country agreement with the U.S., which prohibits people from making asylum claims at land border entry points, though there are some exceptions.
Critics of the deal say current immigration policy in the U.S. makes that country anything but safe for asylum seekers, but immigration officials insisted Tuesday they believe the U.S. asylum system is still functioning.
A policy review carried out on the agreement indicated that the asylum system in the U.S. had not changed as of January, said Andre Baril, the director of asylum policy for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Still, a legal analysis of the deal is also being done, and two international experts have been drafted to do another to “confirm the conditions that existed continue to be met,” he told the committee.
Both the NDP and Conservatives have called for the Liberal government to either suspend or amend the deal. The NDP say suspension, which would allow asylum claimants to just enter at regular ports of entry, is the humane choice. The Conservatives say the deal should apply across the entire border so claims can’t only be lodged at land entry points.
A report on focus groups held by the department earlier this year on immigration policy describes two predominant positions on the deal. One group couldn’t understand why illegal border-crossers are allowed to stay, while those who show up at designated points of entry are turned away.
“For these participants, the agreement is counterintuitive and the logic of the agreement should be either reversed or more complete so that those who cross ’illegally’ are also turned back.”
While no one in the focus groups proposed suspending the deal, some participants agreed it made some sense when the idea was put forward as a hypothesis.
“There was a sense that these refugee claims are justified and by having more, even if not all, claimants present at designated ports of entry, Canada is at least establishing more control over who crosses our border.”

WINDSOR, Ont. — Two truck drivers from Quebec are facing multiple charges after allegedly trying to smuggle 11 people from the United States into Canada.
The Canada Border Services Agency says the truckers were stopped at the Ambassador Bridge crossing into Ontario while carrying a load of produce.
The agency says the men aroused suspicion after failing to declare anything other than the produce shipment despite being away for a week.
It says agents searched the truck and found 11 foreign nationals from an unspecified country hidden in the sleeper area of the vehicle.
The 11 people were returned to the U.S.
The two men, aged 42 and 50, are now facing 23 charges each under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

CBSA's most wanted: drugs, sex and terror
By Brad Hunter, Toronto Sun

There are hundreds of foreign-born criminals wandering the streets of Canada.
They are ruled inadmissible, then vanish into the ether.
Take Somali national Abdulahi Sharif, 30, if you will. Sharif is accused of stabbing an Edmonton cop then tried to ram his car into innocent bystanders.
Beside him, he had an ISIS flag.
He was granted refugee status in Canada in 2012 after being ordered booted from the U.S.
In 2015, the RCMP learned he was allegedly pushing his jihadist worldview. Then they dropped it.
Here are the Canadian Border Services Agency’s most wanted:
NAME: Mohamed Ratni
ALIAS: Jerome Breche
AGE: 42
NATIONALITY: Algeria
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Montreal
411: CBSA’s rock star. Ratni has made the most wanted list TWICE. He was released under strict conditions then, poof, vanished. He has ties to al-Qaeda-linked Algerian terrorists and was busted at a Montreal coffee shop in 2012 — and was never kicked out. The big-hearted IRB thought that he should be sprung because of the time it was taking to give him the boot. Maclean’s reported that Algeria dragged its feet. But, uh, red light: he was “cagey” from the moment he landed at Pearson and wouldn’t tell CBSA officials which airline he flew in on. IRB shot him down saying his tale of woe was “devoid of sincerity and honesty.” He was found complicit in crimes against humanity. And so he stayed.
NAME: Belhassen Trabelsi
ALIAS: None
AGE: 54
NATIONALITY: Tunisia
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Montreal
411: One of the richest and most powerful members of the Tunisian regime toppled during the Arab Spring acted as a quasi-mafia don in the corrupt country. It’s believed he stole billions of dollars from the Tunisian people. He went off the radar in 2016.
NAME: Lucien Ngola Litsika
ALIAS: Lucien Ngola Mosenge Bumba
AGE: 36
NATIONALITY: Democratic Republic of the Congo
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Montreal
411: Information on Litsika is slim other than the fact he was ruled inadmissible to enter Canada.
NAME: Jose Guadalupe Ocampo Arizmendi
ALIAS: None
AGE: 63
NATIONALITY: Mexico
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Toronto
411: Arizmendi is inadmissible to Canada for running a U.S. drug ring that peddled heroin, crack and cocaine.
NAME: Abdirahman Moumin Okie
ALIAS: Kaff Okie
AGE: 45
NATIONALITY: Ethiopia
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Montreal
411: Okie — who sometimes sports a moustache — was convicted of forcible confinement, committing a sexual assault along with another person and conspiracy to commit sexual assault.
NAME: Casmour Rallin Wray
ALIAS: Kevin Johnson
AGE: 34
NATIONALITY: Jamaica
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Orillia

'I'll kill you!'; Mother of girl beaten to death by bat throws shoe at defendant

FAIRFAX, Va. — Four months after a 17-year-old girl’s death rattled northern Virginia’s Muslim community, emotions remained raw as the girl’s mother disrupted a pretrial hearing by hurling a shoe at the man accused in her slaying.
More than 200 family members and friends of 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen turned out at the hearing Friday in the Fairfax County courthouse. Darwin Martinez-Torres, 22, of Sterling, is charged with murder in the death of the popular student at South Lakes High School in Reston.
It was the first face-to-face encounter between Nabra’s parents and the suspect. They charged at him, and deputies had to hold them back.
Her mother, Sawsan Gazzar, shouted “I’ll kill you!” after throwing her shoe at Martinez-Torres, who was quickly hustled out of the courtroom. The father, Mohmoud Hassanen Aboras, shouted “He killed my daughter!” as deputies removed him as well. A third person who shouted expletives also was ordered out.
Eventually, deputies cleared the entire courtroom, and held a truncated hearing in a smaller courtroom, closed off to the vast majority of spectators. Martinez-Torres waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and the case will be sent to a grand jury, where an indictment is expected next week.
Hassanen was killed June 18 as she was walking back to her mosque, the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, for pre-dawn Ramadan services. Hassanen and more than a dozen friends had been at a fast-food restaurant, eating ahead of a daylong fast.
Police say Martinez-Torres encountered the group at about 3:40 a.m., got into a confrontation with some of the kids who had been in the roadway, and then chased after them. Police say Martinez-Torres caught Hassanen and bludgeoned her with a baseball bat.
A police search warrant says Martinez-Torres led police to Hassanen’s body, which he had dumped in a lake.
The circumstances of the girl’s death led many to speculate about a possible hate crime, but police have said the slaying is a case of road rage.
After Friday’s hearing, Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh said it is possible that additional charges will be submitted to the grand jury beyond the preliminary murder count.
Asked about a hate crime, Morrogh declined to discuss the evidence in any detail. He said he remains open to considering any evidence of a hate crime, but so far has not seen anything to lead him in that direction.
Morrogh also did not rule out a potential death penalty charge. Virginia law allows a capital murder charge only under certain conditions, including premeditated murder in the commission of a robbery, or premeditated murder during commission of an attempted rape.
Hassanen’s father thanked the community after Friday’s hearing for supporting the family.
“Every day I think about my daughter,” he said. “All of us came here today for justice for Nabra.”
Gadeir Abbas, an attorney for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is representing the family, said “the community’s expectation is that justice will be done.”
“There is no question that this community will be watching the process,” he said. “They will see to it that there is justice for Nabra.”
After the hearing, many of those who were forced to leave the courthouse rallied on a plaza under a large U.S. flag, chanting “Justice for Nabra.”
Martinez-Torres’ lawyer, public defender Dawn Butorac, declined comment. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has lodged a detainer against Martinez-Torres, who is from El Salvador, meaning federal authorities believe they have evidence he’s in the country illegally.

U.S. appeals court blocks immigrant teen's access to abortion
Jessica Gresko, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
First posted: Saturday, October 21, 2017 09:18 AM EDT | Updated: Saturday, October 21, 2017 09:48 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — An appeals court is blocking, for now, an abortion sought by a pregnant 17-year-old immigrant being held in a Texas facility, ruling that the government should have time to try to release her so she can obtain the abortion outside of federal custody.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued its ruling Friday hours after arguments from lawyers for the Trump administration and the teenager. The court ruled 2-1 that the government should have until Oct. 31 to release the girl into the custody of a sponsor, such as an adult relative in the United States. If that happens, she could obtain an abortion if she chooses. If she isn’t released, the case can go back to court.
The judge who dissented wrote that the court’s ruling means the teen will be forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy for “multiple more weeks.”
The teen, whose name and country of origin have been withheld because she’s a minor, is 15 weeks pregnant. She entered the U.S. in September and learned she was pregnant while in custody in Texas.
She obtained a court order Sept. 25 permitting her to have an abortion. But federal officials have refused to transport her or temporarily release her so that others may take her to have an abortion. A lower federal court ruled that she should be able to obtain an abortion Friday or Saturday, but the government appealed.
Federal health officials said in a statement that for “however much time” they are given they “will protect the well-being of this minor and all children and their babies” in their facilities.
Susan Hays, legal director of the Texas group Jane’s Due Process, which works with pregnant minors seeking an abortion and had offered to help pay for the teen’s abortion, said the court appeared to be “punting” the final decision on whether the teenager would be entitled to an abortion.
Brigitte Amiri, the ACLU lawyer who represented the teen in court, said in a statement that the group is “investigating all avenues to get justice for her.”
“Justice is delayed yet again for this courageous and persistent young woman. She continues to be held hostage and prevented from getting an abortion because the Trump administration disagrees with her personal decision,” Amiri said. “Our client and women across this country should be able to access a safe, legal abortion without federal officials stepping in to interfere.”
The teenager’s lawyers have argued that even a brief delay in allowing her to obtain an abortion could mean she may need a more complex procedure, one possibly not available in the region where she lives. If that happens, she could have to travel hundreds of miles to obtain an abortion, and if her case drags on she could lose her right to an abortion all together, her lawyers said. Texas law bans most abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
During arguments at the appeals court, Amiri told the judges that all the government needed to do was “get out of the way.” An attorney appointed to represent the teen’s interests had said she could transport her to and from appointments necessary for the procedure, and the federal government would not have to pay for it.
But administration lawyer Catherine Dorsey told the judges that the federal Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for sheltering children who illegally enter the country unaccompanied by a parent, has a policy of “refusing to facilitate” abortions and that releasing the teenager would require arranging a transfer of custody and follow-up care.
During arguments, Judge Brett Kavanaugh said releasing the girl to a sponsor seemed to be the best option. That, he said, would get her out of the facility where she is being held, allow her to obtain an abortion and leave the government out of it. But Amiri said a sponsor hadn’t yet been found and that the process could take months. At least one potential sponsor has fallen through.
In a two-page order, Kavanaugh and Judge Karen Henderson, both of whom were appointed by Republican presidents, said that if a sponsor is found by Oct. 31 and the teenager released, the government agrees she “will be lawfully able, if she chooses, to obtain an abortion on her own pursuant to the relevant state law.”
Judge Patricia Millett, who was appointed by a Democrat, President Barack Obama, would have allowed the girl to obtain an abortion as the lower court had ruled. Millett wrote that the girl “has already been forced by the government to continue an unwanted pregnancy for almost four weeks, and now, as a result of this order, must continue to carry that pregnancy for multiple more weeks.”

BERLIN — A 15-year-old Afghan asylum seeker is in custody in Germany after allegedly fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend, a German of the same age, in a drugstore.
Authorities say the stabbing followed an apparently chance meeting between the two on Wednesday in Kandel, near the French border. The girl died of her injuries after being attacked with a kitchen knife.

Prosecutor Angelika Moehlig said Thursday that a judge ordered the suspect, who wasn’t identified, kept in custody on suspicion of manslaughter. She said the motive is still under investigation.
Police said the suspect arrived in Germany in April 2016 and had apparently been in a several-month relationship with the victim, who broke up with him this month.
The victim’s parents had filed a criminal complaint against him on Dec. 15 alleging slander and threats.

Kangni Fiowole-Kouevi is shown at the Hospitality House Refugee Ministry in Winnipeg on Tuesday. Fiowole-Kouevi says he was not sure he had made it to Canada when, struggling to work with frozen fingers in -23C weather, he dialled 9-1-1 on his cellphone.David Lipnowski / THE CANADIAN PRESS
"I fell, I cried, I was in agony. I didn't know how I would survive the cold."
Kangni Fiowole-Kouevi says he wasn’t sure he had made it to Canada when — overcome by bitter cold and barely able to use his hands — he took a risk and dialled 911 on his cellphone.
Fortunately for the 36-year-old from Togo, he had made it across the border near Emerson, Man. in the dead of night. He is the latest African asylum-seeker to face the possibility of losing his fingers to frostbite after crossing the border on the open prairie in the dead of winter.
“I started to suffer enormously,” he recalled in French Tuesday as he sat at the kitchen table in a home run by Hospitality House Refugee Ministry, a Winnipeg non-profit group. His hands remained in bandages.
“I fell, I cried, I was in agony. I didn’t know how I would survive the cold.”
Fiowole-Kouevi said he fled religious prosecution in Togo, where he converted to Christianity in defiance of his family’s wishes. After making it through South and Central America, he said he arrived in the United States, was detained and eventually rejected for asylum.
He said he decided to head to Canada via Minneapolis where he paid a man $700 for the seven-hour drive to the border. The night of Jan. 5, he was dropped off somewhere along the highway south of Emerson and started to walk, he said.
The temperature was below -20 C. He was dressed for winter but his gloves were not enough. He said he walked for more than four hours.
“I started to raise my hand to trucks that were passing but they did not stop.”
Eventually he found what appeared to be an abandoned building of some sort, got out of the wind and called 911.
RCMP say they received a call at 5:45 a.m. on Jan. 6 from a man who had crossed the border alone and could not describe his location. Spokeswoman Tara Seel said it took two hours to find him and the man was taken to the border office and the hospital for treatment.
Fiowole-Koeuvi said he is hopeful he will not lose any fingers, but doctors had yet to make a final decision. His refugee claim is expected to take months.
His story is similar to that of Razak Iyal and Seidu Mohammed, two men from Ghana who walked across the border Dec 24. 2016. Iyal lost all his fingers to severe frostbite, but kept his thumbs. Mohammed lost all ten digits.
The two men had walked seven hours in the frigid cold and had walked past Emerson before they were found 14 kilometres further north.
The long walks have the reeve of Emerson-Franklin — a merged community that includes the town and surrounding rural area — scratching his head as to why drivers are not dropping off asylum-seekers closer to the border.
“I don’t know if there’s something going on in the U.S. that these drivers that are bringing these people — if they’ve been threatened or something at the other end — but it seems like they’re almost dropping them off further away,” said Greg Janzen.
“Even to walk two miles in this weather is ludicrous.”
There is an old border station immediately southeast of Emerson in Noyes, Minn. It’s been closed for more than a decade, but the road is still there and a gate is the only physical barrier. Anyone who ducks under or walks around the gate is within 200 metres of the outskirts of Emerson and about 600 metres from a hotel.
A kilometre to the west lies the official port of entry along the main highway between Winnipeg and North Dakota.
Most asylum-seekers avoid that crossing because, under the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, people who applied for refugee status in the United States first must be turned back at official border points. If they manage to get on Canadian soil before being apprehended, they are allowed to stay while making a refugee claim.

Mexican Uber driver in U.S. illegally charged with raping four women

LOS ANGELES — A Mexican Uber driver living in the U.S. illegally was charged Monday with raping, assaulting and robbing young women in California, prosecutors said.
Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez’s four alleged victims are between 19 and 22 years old and three were intoxicated when they were assaulted, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow told reporters.
Officials said Alarcon-Nunez was not always driving for Uber when he picked up those women but said the alleged crimes show that the company should improve its driver screening process, Dow said.
Alarcon-Nunez, 39, faces 10 criminal charges including forcible rape, rape of an intoxicated victim, oral copulation of an intoxicated victim and first degree burglary. It wasn’t immediately known if Alarcon-Nunez has an attorney. His arraignment was scheduled for later Monday.
Detectives are looking for potential witnesses and trying to determine if there are additional victims in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties northwest of Los Angeles, where the Alarcon-Nunez had been driving for Uber since September of last year, Dow said. He had a valid California license issued in 2015.
Prosecutors said Alarcon-Nunez solicited rides as an Uber driver, targeting drunk women. Then he drove women to their homes, assaulted them, and stole property including cellphones, computers, and jewelry, officials said.
He collected his fare payments through the smartphone app Venmo to disguise his identity and his Uber records, officials said.

Alarcon-Nunez has also gone by the name “Bruno Diaz” and his Venmo username was “Brush Bat,” prosecutors said.
Predators in cars parked outside bars or restaurants “jump in front of the actual Uber driver and they will take someone unsuspecting to their home. And that’s a way of putting someone at risk, and in this case that’s exactly what’s alleged to have happened,” Dow said.
Dow urged Uber users to make sure they are getting in the car of the correct driver by verifying the license plate and other information provided to clients.
DNA evidence helped lead detectives to Alarcon-Nunez, who was arrested at his Santa Maria home last week, Dow said. The alleged crimes are said to have occurred in December and January in San Luis Obispo, a city of about 45,000 with a large population of college students.
Dow urged Uber and other ride-hailing companies to beef up background checks. Uber spokesman Michael Amodeo did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Alarcon-Nunez returned to the U.S. illegally after a voluntary deportation from New Mexico in 2005, officials said. Dow did not have details about why he was deported or whether he has a criminal record in the U.S.
Alarcon-Nunez’s immigration status will not have a bearing on the prosecution, Dow said. He could face life in prison if convicted on all charges.

Terror suspect Mohamed Harkat given more freedom

OTTAWA — A judge has granted terror suspect Mohamed Harkat more freedom — though not as much as he asked for.
In a judgment made public Wednesday, Federal Court Justice Sylvie Roussel gave Harkat permission to travel anywhere in Ontario or Quebec for 72 hours without notifying authorities.
The Algerian refugee — who faces deportation on national security grounds — can also report to officials in person just once a month, not every two weeks.
Roussel denied Harkat permission to have a laptop computer with internet capability for personal use outside his home. But she opened the door to the possibility of internet access for employment purposes.

Terror suspect Mohamed Harkat seeks to have monitoring relaxed
Overall, the judge found the existing release conditions were “disproportionate with the danger posed by Mr. Harkat” and that they should be relaxed.
Harkat’s wife, Sophie, expressed disappointment with the ruling, saying the hurdles set out for internet use at work could scare prospective employers away.
At a two-day hearing in November, Harkat asked the court to impose less strict monitoring of his everyday activities by the Canada Border Services Agency as he awaits the outcome of his extended legal saga.
Harkat, 49, was arrested in Ottawa in December 2002 on suspicion of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent. He denies any involvement in terrorism.
The federal government is trying to deport the former gas-station attendant using a national security certificate — a legal tool for removing non-citizens suspected of ties to extremism or espionage. Harkat fears he will be tortured if returned to his Algerian homeland.
Following his arrest, Harkat was locked up for more than three years. He was released in June 2006 under stringent conditions that have gradually been eased.
At home with Sophie, Harkat has access to a computer connected to the internet. Prior to Wednesday’s ruling, he was required to report in person to the border agency every two weeks. And, though Harkat could travel within Canada, he had to provide the border agency with five days’ notice of his plans as well as a full itinerary when leaving the national capital. He also had to report to the border agency by phone once a day while travelling.
Harkat’s submission to the court said he “presents no threat to Canada or to any person” and that he has diligently complied with requirements. “A continuation of these conditions is not justified.”
The couple said the restrictions had caused great stress and hardship.
Harkat works part-time as a church custodian. But Sophie testified the limitations on computer use have denied her husband opportunities to be a retail cashier or parcel courier.
Roussel said if Harkat is to fully embrace the values of his adopted country, it is “important that he be given the opportunity to obtain gainful employment.”
She instructed Harkat and the border agency to discuss the sort of internet-linked devices he could use at work. The agency would approve or reject specific proposals, with the court having final say in a disagreement. Harkat’s employer would be obliged to report any unauthorized internet use to the agency.
Sophie Harkat said Wednesday the conditions mean her husband “will continue to be dehumanized around his employers,” adding the couple could be forced into further costly court proceedings.
Roussel said she didn’t have sufficient evidence of Harkat’s need for personal internet use outside the home.
She also turned down Harkat’s request that he be allowed to travel anywhere in Canada without restriction.
Border services officers have followed the couple on trips to a cottage and to the funeral of Sophie’s grandmother.
Roussel expressed concern about the “degree of intrusiveness” of the border agency’s physical surveillance, saying there should be better guidance on when and how it is done.
Meanwhile, the border agency is in the process of seeking a “danger opinion” as a step toward deportation.
A delegate of the immigration minister will determine whether Harkat poses a danger to national security and, if so, whether the risk to Harkat of removing him outweighs the danger or severity of the acts he allegedly committed.

Sweden Is Preparing For A "Civil War": PM Wants To Deploy Army In No-Go Zones

The booklet will serve as a manual of "total defense" in case of a war, and provide details on how to secure basic needs such as water, food, and heating, the FT reported. The manual also covers other threats such as cyber attacks, terrorism, and climate change.

"All of society needs to be prepared for conflict, not just the military. We haven’t been using words such as total defense or high alert for 25-30 years or more. So the knowledge among citizens is very low," said Christina Andersson, head of the project at the Swedish civil contingencies agency.

The survivalist manual or better known by some as a preppers guide is called “If Crisis or War Comes,” will be published by the government in late spring. Its publication comes at a time when the threat of war from Russia is high, well, possibly, but that is what the mainstream media has conditioned many to believe.

What if the threat is not from Russia, but one that is domestic?

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...se-of-army-to-end-gang-violence-idUSKBN1F629L that Sweden would do whatever it takes, including sending in the army, to end the wave of gang violence situated in the no-go zones around the country. Sweden’s murder rate has been relatively low over the years, but thanks to the migrant crisis, police are powerless in many areas across the country.
