Newark's Mayor Calls Shooting Immigration Status "Irrelevant"

New York, NY



WNYC NEWSROOM August 14, 2007 —Newark's Mayor, Cory Booker, says he has no plans to change police policy, in the wake of a triple murder where two undocumented immigrants are the prime suspects.

BOOKER: In no way is obligation of city police department to be going around and doing the work of INS.

REPORTER: Booker's director of police, Garry McCarthy, says the immigration status of the suspects is "irrelevant." He also is dismissing reports that the execution-style murders were related to the violent Central American gang, MS-13.

Booker and McCarthy announced today extra video cameras for Newark's high crime neighborhoods. The cameras will be equipped with sensors, to allow them to swivel toward the sound of gunshots.

i wonder if bookers family starts getting 'affected', will the immigration status of the suspects remain "irrelevant."?... we need to get our politicans out from behind their gated communities and look at quality of life living among criminals.

What Jerk.

I don't think he will be re-elected if he's planning on running in the future!

Anyone who does not see the seriousness of criminal ILLEGAL ALIENS in our country NEEDS THEIR HEAD EXAMINED!!

Swiveling towards "the sound of gunshots" will make it easier to find the bodies shot by the bullets. Too bad it won't help the victims actually getting SHOT by the bullets.
