By: Diane Benjamin Public Comment was filled with the far left again wanting special treatment for illegals. Of course they hate Donna Boelen’s Welcoming America initiative because it doesn’t ban dealing with ICE. I wonder how Corey Cottrell’s family fells since he was killed by an illegal? https://blnnews.com/2019/07/12/corey-cottrell-memorial-ride/ The far left doesn’t care that Corey […]
By: Diane Benjamin The local progressives want you to believe all illegals are law abiding citizens. Do you remember former Bloomington Police Chief Heffner telling the Council passing the Welcoming Ordinance will put public safety at risk? https://blnnews.com/2017/12/18/chief-heffner-video/ The Council never passed it in Bloomington. Normal did, one of their residents is dead because of […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Jose Rodriquez case had a hearing today concerning the accident that killed Corey Cottrell. The State’s Attorney wanted a September trial, the judge set another hearing for September 11th so Jose could be present. He is currently in ICE detention in Wisconsin. ICE will probably deport Rodriquez before he stands trial. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up: https://blnnews.com/2019/07/12/jose-rodriguez-is-back-in-jail/ Jose Rodriguez was bailed out of jail again after his bond was reduced. He was taken into custody by ICE agents. I am trying to determine what happens next and if he will face prosecution here. To be continued . . . Several people have noticed Tari isn’t living in […]
By: Diane Benjamin For a change the fools were outside City Hall instead of inside. A LEGAL immigrant friend of mine who fled socialism/communism to come here tried to talk to some of the participants. The surest way to find a fool is to find people with closed minds. She found a bunch of them. […]
The family and friends of Corey Cottrell held a celebration of life before the biker’s started lining up around 3:00. They planned to ride down Wood and north on Main to MacArthur where the accident happened. The family has good news this morning. https://blnnews.com/2019/07/12/jose-rodriguez-is-back-in-jail/ I’m sure the family appreciated all those who showed up this […]
On June 22, 2019 Corey died after been hit by a van while riding his motorcycle. An illegal alien is under arrest for running a red light, not having a driver’s license, and failure to report an accident. https://blnnews.com/2019/06/24/is-rodriguez-illegal/
By: Diane Benjamin Homeland Security has not issued a valid retainer for Jose Rodriguez. They knew when they sent one signed by an immigration officer instead of a judge it wasn’t valid in Illinois because former REPUBLICAN Governor Rauner signed the Trust Act. I looked up who voted to make Illinois a sanctuary State, none […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2019/06/24/is-rodriguez-illegal/ Rodriguez was bailed out last night. I don’t know by who. He is not represented by a Public Defender, somebody is paying his lawyer. A grand jury will probably hear testimony next week, the police are still investigating. Will Rodriguez still be in the country by then? […]
By: Diane Benjamin I believe this guys court appearance has been delayed until tomorrow. His immigration status is still trying to be determined. He turned himself in with a lawyer. This is a picture from the victims Facebook page, unless there is more than one Corey Cottrell living in Normal. His death if tragic, […]
