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 […]
I had a representative in the courtroom. This is what she reported: Rodriguez was present. ICE agents were present. Judge Yoder declared he is in ICE custody since he is a fugutive from ICE. That confirms this story from July 8th: https://blnnews.com/2019/07/08/rodriguez-had-a-deportation-order/ He is being held in the McLean County jail, no further details are […]
By: Diane Benjamin It is official – Jose Rodriguez in an illegal alien. Catch and release policies allowed him to be free in this country since 2013. Of course he didn’t show up for his court date. STATEMENT: (on the record from Nicole Alberico as an ICE spokesperson) On June 23, 2019, deportation officers with […]
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 Here it is: I hope a reader can figure out who she is! I’ve got some great researchers! The name of the guy she married is on her Facebook page – it isn’t Jose Rodriguez. Compare the mug shot below to this pic. Both are from Honduras.
By: Diane Benjamin When Jose Rodriguez was arrested last week for the fatal accident his fingerprints were run through the FBI database. That tipped off Homeland Security who issued an immigration detainer for him. Because Illinois’ former governor signed the Trust Act, McLean County could not hold him for ICE. The retainer was signed by […]
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, […]
