14 Dannys Family Carwash Managers Indicted for Rehiring Illegal Aliens & Identify Fraud

Arizona Republic:  “Top managers of Danny’s Family Car Wash knowingly rehired undocumented workers and helped some of them create new fictional identities, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday in a major Valley work-site immigration-enforcement case.  A 78-count indictment, handed up after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation targeted 13 Danny’s car-wash locations over the weekend, alleges that location managers fired about 900 workers identified in a 2011 government audit as undocumented and then systematically rehired many of them under different names and shuffled them among sites to avoid detection.  A total of 14 managers and supervisors were named in the indictment on charges that included document fraud and identity theft.”

How To Roll Back Police Militarization In America

Huffington Post:  “When the FBI finally located Whitey Bulger in 2010 after searching for 16 years, the reputed mobster was suspected of involvement in 19 murders in the 1970s and ’80s, and was thought to be armed with a massive arsenal of weapons. He was also 81 at the time, in poor physical health . . . . he was arrested without incident. There was no battering ram, there were no flash grenades, there was no midnight assault on his home. . . . That peaceful apprehension of a known violent fugitive, found guilty this week of participating in 11 murders and a raft of other crimes, stands in stark contrast to the way tens of thousands of Americans are confronted each year by SWAT teams battering down their doors to serve warrants for nonviolent crimes, mostly involving drugs. . . . Today in America, SWAT teams are deployed about 100 to 150 times per day, or about 50,000 times per year — a dramatic increase from the 3,000 or so annual deployments in the early 1980s, or the few hundred in the 1970s. The vast majority of today’s deployments are to serve search warrants for drug crimes. But the use of SWAT tactics to enforce regulatory law also appears to be rising”
