    Issue: Deportation isn't enough

    Deported criminals return to the U.S. easily and commit more crimes.

    One in five foreign-born inmates in Colorado prisons tagged for deportation as of May 2005 had been ordered deported before, a Rocky Mountain News analysis of prison and immigration records found.

    WHAT LOCAL OFICIALS SAY

    Sheriffs and prosecutors across Colorado say they are seeing the same immigrants back in their jails and courtrooms just months after being deported.

    "I know we tend to get a lot of the violent offenders that come back," said Frank Moschetti, chief deputy district attorney in Arapahoe County.

    "My experiences with them in that regard have been very, very frustrating, because what you find is, of course, they don't enter under the same name. They are not that stupid."

    Grand County Sheriff Rod Johnson said, "If (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) deports to Mexico, at least 50 percent of the time they come back here."

    Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario said, "I personally experienced some of that when I was working in both the drug task force and then on the street. We'd arrest somebody, he got deported, and six months later they're doing a case on him again."

    WHAT FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY

    Immigration agencies are trying to attack the problem by stepping up enforcement.

    Returning after deportation is a federal crime with a possible sentence of up to 20 years, if the person also is convicted of another serious felony. The number of cases prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Denver has tripled in the past six years — from 43 in 1999 to 132 last year, said spokesman Jeff Dorschner.

    But federal investigators say they have neither the staffing nor the ability to stem the flow across the Mexican border.

    At the national level, President Bush proposed in 2004 to fly more immigrants into the interior of Mexico, rather than to the border, to discourage or slow their return to the U.S., according to a congressional budget report.

    But Mexican officials, citing constitutional problems, would allow interior flights only if the deportees agreed, the report said. The program is still in place but is limited to deportees who consent to it.

    In 2004, the U.S. paid about $15 million to deport about 14,000 immigrants to the interior.

    Deported before

    June 13, 2006

    These are some of the criminals who were deported and returned to the U.S.:

    Jose Melendez

    Jose Melendez, 25, was ordered deported by immigration court in Aurora in August 2003, six months after he had been sentenced to two years' probation for drug offenses in Denver.

    He was flown to Honduras on Sept. 25, 2003. About a month later, he made his first attempt to re-enter the U.S., getting caught at Nogales, Ariz. He was caught a second time in Nogales trying to enter the U.S. in March 2004, given 20 days in jail and removed from the U.S. again. He succeeded on his third attempt, and in January 2005, he was arrested in Denver for selling heroin to an undercover police officer. He is now serving two years in prison. He has used four aliases.

    David Cano-Dominguez

    David Cano-Dominguez, 34, was ordered removed by immigration court in Denver on Oct. 9, 2001.

    Two days later, he was arrested by Denver police after an informant warned them that he was going to make a cocaine drop in the 3300 block of West Dakota Avenue. Police found a kilo of cocaine in his car and another half-kilo at his house. The Social Security number he gave police was registered to Darlene Johnson, of Basalt.

    After he was charged in December 2001 in Denver District Court, he posted $25,000 bond and fled. Bail bondsman Charles Elliot notified the court in June 2002 that he had found Cano-Dominguez in Mexico, but the fugitive was working as a federal police agent and could not be arrested.

    By March 11, 2003, he was back in custody in Denver. He had returned to the city and was working a construction job that paid $1,500 a month when he was arrested. In April, he completed his Colorado prison sentence. He was expected to be deported.

    Mario Acosta

    Mario Acosta, 26, was deported by immigration court in Fremont County on Aug. 23, 2000, while he was serving a four-year prison term for the attempted armed robbery of a 7-Eleven store on Santa Fe Drive in Denver in 1999. He threatened the clerk with a knife.

    He previously was given probation for a 1998 burglary in Adams County. After his deportation, he was arrested in Aurora for a minor offense in 2002. He pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge in 2003 and served more time in prison. He now faces a federal charge of illegally returning to the U.S. after deportation.

    Aurelio Garcia-Reyna

    Aurelio Garcia-Reyna, 45, was originally given voluntary departure from the U.S. by immigration court in Aurora in December 1992. He was deported by what was then known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service in June 1997 after serving probation for drug crimes in Jefferson County.

    After he was ordered deported, he was stopped three times: once in 2000 for not having a driver's license and twice in 2002 — once for drug possession and another time as a fugitive.

    Finally, in October 2002, he was arrested by Lakewood police while he was making deliveries of methamphetamine. Police found a McDonald's bag full of meth and a handgun in his car. He was sentenced to nine years in prison. He had a wife and two children living in Lakewood.

    Peyman Bahadori

    Peyman Bahadori, an Iranian, served time in prisonin Colorado and California during the 1990s for drug crimes, burglary and theft, court records show. He was ordered deported by immigration court in Denver in 1996.

    But on June 12, 2002, Bahadori showed up at the IHOP restaurant in Denver at 3780 Peoria St., posing as an immigration agent, court records say. He accosted restaurant worker Aydin Mikilani and told him he was under arrest for being an illegal immigrant. He showed Mikilani a badge and lifted his shirt to reveal a holstered gun. Bahadori then handcuffed him and drove Mikilani to his Aurora home, where they were met by Mikilani’s boss Asghar Hajloo and two other men. Hajloo confronted Bahadori about his identity, and Bahadori ended up pulling a gun on him.

    Bahadori, still posing as an immigration officer, called Aurora police for help, the records say. Three police officers, believing Bahadori was an legitimate agent, showed up to help guard Mikilani while the Iranian searched his home for documentation that Mikilani was in the U.S. legally. When he found it in a suitcase in a bedroom, he took the handcuffs off Mikilani and left.

    Two months later, police unraveled the ruse and charged Bahadori with kidnapping. He is serving a 48-year prison term in Colorado. He told police he was born in Italy to Iranian parents and moved to the U.S. when he was 6 years old.

    Martha Alvarez

    Martha Alvarez was ordered deported by immigration court in San Diego on Jan. 7, 1998.

    She returned to the U.S. and was living in Denver on Sept. 20, 1999, when the 25-year-old woman forced her 2-year-old son Brian Gonzales into a bathtub, hitting his head on the tub, according to court records. Brian turned blue and slipped into unconsciousness. He died the next day at the Denver Medical Center. She attended his funeral three days later under police guard. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison in March 2000 for child abuse. She has four other children.

    Jesus Rivera

    Jesus Rivera, 31, was deported by immigration court in California in 2000 after serving a prison sentence. He had belonged to a California street gang.

    Three years later, he was arrested after stabbing James Wright seven times in Northglenn on April 6, 2003, and throwing his body out of a pickup truck in a dispute over a cell phone, court records say. Wright died on the way to the hospital. Rivera was sentenced to 30 years in prison after a jury found him guilty. The case is on appeal.

    Juan Castaneda Cortez

    Juan Castaneda Cortez , 37, was ordered deported from Laredo, Texas, in August 1997 after he had been arrested for assault, carrying an illegal weapon and illegal re-entry in San Antonio in the previous six months. Five years later in October 2002, he stabbed Javier Reyes to death during a fight in an apartment building at 2460 W. Caithness St. in Denver, court records say. He told police he had arrived in Denver six months earlier.

    He was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

    Jose Aquino

    Jose Aquino, 47, was deported by immigration court in San Francisco in 1998 after he served a prison term for attempted murder.

    In February 1994, he stabbed his wife in a drunken rage at their Pacific Grove, Calif., apartment, sending her to the hospital, court records say. He also inadvertently stabbed his daughter. He was living in California then under the name Abelardo Maldonado Cruz.

    A decade later, he turned up living in Aurora as Jose Aquino when he tried to stab his girlfriend on Jan. 3, 2004. He was also drunk at the time he plunged a knife into the comforter Rosalinda Mansfield had pulled over her for protection, court records show. The knife failed to go all the way through the comforter. He returned with a second knife, sweeping over her. She called police. He was sentenced to six years in prison in March 2005.

    Do you think this is one of the major reasons to secure our borders? Not only will it keep new illegals aliens out, but it certainly will keep those deported from coming back and committing more crimes. All of those 2,179 that were nabbed this week were all ordered to be deported and have been roaming around our country committing crimes for years. I shudder to think of how many people were hurt or killed by these criminals that have been allowed to roam around our country free to commit crimes at their will. This has got to stop
    Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....
