ICE's $50,000 John: Well, Now We Know Why Immigration Wasted Our Tax $$$ on Tommy Lasorda

By Debbie Schlussel

**** UPDATE: Tommy LaSorda's lawyer is claiming he never met the "Hollywood Super Madam." So, maybe he didn't meet her, but that doesn't mean he didn't "meet" one of her "girls." And FYI, the Super Madam claimed, today, on FOX News' "The Big Story," that she has the officially certified court documents showing LaSorda's "invoice" for services, phone calls to her number, etc. And the L.A. Times viewed the court docs and independently confirmed that his name is on the records.****

Last summer, I wrote about how Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Director of Detention and Removal Operations, John Torres, was holding a week-long confab to promote himself and waste hundreds of thousands in our tax dollars. All of the top ICE officials and Detention and Removal Operations Field Office Directors were there, while they could have been doing immigration enforcement and deportation work, getting rid of illegal aliens. The event was held with the full approval and attendance of ICE Chieftess Julie Myers a/k/a "The ICE Princess."

I also wrote how Torres a/k/a ICE's own evil Costanza paid Major League Baseball's Tommy Lasorda between $30,000 and $50,000 of our tax money to be the keynote speaker at this event--a huge hint that the week-long party (at which ICE DRO officials did NOT want to be but were required to attend) had nothing to do with immigration enforcement.

Well, I was wrong. Besides having expertise in keeping aliens like El Duque in the States doing the work "Americans just won't do," it appears that Tommy Lasorda actually has a lot of experience with criminals and some of them might even be illegal aliens.

Hollywood Madame Jody "Babydol" Gibson (yes, she spells "Babydol" with only one "L"--everyone in Hollywood has to spell the wrong way on purpose, just to be noticed) just released the contents of her "little black book" of johns in a new book, "Secrets of a Hollywood Super Madam." The L.A. Times reports that court records of her phone and payment logs and other records (from her 2000 trial and conviction for running an international prostitution ring) show one of her prominent customers was none other than newly-minted ICE Detention and Removal Ops expert Tommy Lasorda.

Since this info on Lasorda came out in a 2000 trial (and has been available to law enforcement since that time), that means that John Torres, formerly an INS investigative agent, could have investigated Lasorda's background--and didn't--before inviting him to speak. How embarrassing for an agency that is mostly involved in "investigations." I guess that explains why The ICE Princess chose an investigator--with no experience in detention and removal of aliens--to head Detention and Removal Operations. Clearly, he wasn't any good as an investigator.

And, as we've mentioned on this site, The ICE Princess and others have tried to work the illegal alien slave sex workers angle for ICE exposure in sympathetic TV movies on Lifetime, etc. Perhaps Lasorda even "encountered" such an alien in his "patronage" of the "Hollywood SuperMadam." Gibson was, after all, convicted of running and "international" prostitution ring.

Either way, one thing is for sure: While Lasorda paid her and her girls a thousand or so for encounter as their john, we--American taxpayers via ICE--paid Lasorda $30-50K as his john.

That's a lot of money for very little "service."

John Torres and Julie L. Myers ought to be ashamed--having one of America's most famous johns as their keynote speaker (and paying him heftily for it). They pimped American taxpayers.

But unfortunately they aren't. There's no shame atop ICE. And that's the real shame.
