VINELAND, N.J. POLICE USE IMMIGRATION DATABASE TO CATCH FUGITIVE ALIEN CHILD MURDERER

Jamaican stopped on traffic violation was an absconder fleeing deportation
VINELAND, N.J.-- Vineland police used ICE's Law Enforcement Support Center Tuesday to identify a violent fugitive alien convicted in 1987 of beating his own child to death.

Robert Lettman, a citizen of Jamaica, was observed by police making an illegal U-turn when he was stopped and identified through ICE's immigration database.

Lettman was arrested Aug. 14, 1986 for killing his child in March 1986. He was convicted Jan. 28, 1987 in Broward County, Fla., of 3rd Degree Murder. He was sentenced to 15 years prison and was released after serving two years, with the remainder of his sentence to be completed on probation.

In December 1996, a federal immigration judge ordered Lettman deported. Convicted aggravated felons are presumed deportable under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Lettman appealed numerous times and exhausted all forms of legal relief in July 2002. An arrest warrant was issued on Lettman by ICE's Miami detention and removal office and Lettman failed to surrender as ordered.

"The Law Enforcement Support Center's immigration database is a powerful tool for police on the street, and the Vineland police used it to help us take a violent criminal alien off the streets," said Field Office Director Raymond Simonse, who leads ICE detention and removal efforts in New Jersey. "It's clear how immigration enforcement can be a matter of public safety and it takes a unified approach to law enforcement and shared resources like the LESC to protect the public."

ICE placed a law enforcement detainer on Lettman from the LESC and Vineland police took him into custody until ICE's New Jersey fugitive unit responded to take custody of him. Per the law, ICE holds fugitive absconders in detention until the are deported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was established in March 2003 as the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security. ICE is comprised of five integrated divisions that form a 21st century law enforcement agency with broad responsibilities for a number of key homeland security priorities.

WOW!! What a surprise!!

So, WE DO HAVE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN DATABASE!!

Told you!!

They know how many there are here. There is no mystery. Just numbers too large to reveal without causing a riot!!

So, let me get this straight:

1) we've had an illegal alien here since at least 1987

2) who beat his own child to death and who knows how many other children

3) we're spending our money catching him

4) he was caught by a LOCAL POLICE OFFICE on a routine traffic stop

5) now how much more money is the foreign freak gonna cost us

6) ICE is proud, they caught ONE.

7) now what are they gonna do with him

bog down the courts

9) house him, feed him, treat him, clothe him, guard him and

10) give him an ACLU attorney or some Public Defender the chance to earn thousands of dollars at public expense to try and get it off

THIS is like trying to survive a hurricane at sea clinging to a rubber life boat.

ANY COP who doesn't want to be part of this round up, needs to turn in his badge and find another line of work.

HEY VIRGINIA....WAKE UP!

HEY NORTH CAROLINA.....WAKE UP!!!

HEY TEXAS.....WAKE UP!!!

HEY CALIFORNIA....WAKE UP!!!!

The next time someone wants to do something positive for our society like authorize state and local law enforcement to get in on the ACTION of enforcing immigration law, be GROWN UP and tell the opponents like the subversive immigration groups to TAKE A HIKE!! You aren't afraid of 'em.

OK?

The life you save, could be your own or someone's dear to you.
