The suspect in the shooting death of a Newman Police Department corporal was arrested at a home near Bakersfield on Friday morning, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department said.

Gustavo Perez Arriaga, 32, was arrested in connection with the Wednesday morning shooting of Newman Cpl. Ronil Singh.

Arriaga was on his way to Mexico, said Christianson, adding that the house in Lamont had been under surveillance prior to the arrest.


“We were never more than a step behind this guy,” he said.

2. If an undocumented gets so much as a jaywalking ticket, Trump will use it as an example. n/t

3. We should point out that the murdered cop was an immigrant too.

Immigrants are less likely to commit crime than the average American.

Apparently the murderer came here illegally, but a wall would not have stopped a person like that from coming here.

6. Yup. Felony crime rate is about half for illegal immigrants n/t

4. MSM is already using this as a war cry to build the wall, help tRump. nt

5. I don't see that. They're talking about Trump's threat to shut the border.

I'm watching CNN and MSNBC. What are you watching?

10. Isn't it only Fox that is doing that?

[elmac]

12. nope, seen it played that way ons ABC world news, I'm sure others are too

Had the chief of police bitching about sanctuary cities, and sure, there will be criminals abusing this, but 1/10 of 1% abuse isn't worth all the neg press over this incident. Too bad msm doesn't go after the Saudi's for there murders.

7. From what I have read

The shooter should not have been in this country. He was twice busted for DUI, was in California illegally and was running back to Mexico to avoid prosecution. The others arrested were also in this country illegally and were aiding this guy in his flight from justice. This is a case of a bad actor in this country illegally, who should not have been here after his first conviction for DUI much less his second. If someone is here illegally/undocumented and commit no crimes, work and otherwise try to better their family situation then there should be a method for that person to become a citizen. But once you commit a crime (Obama's policy) you should be sent back to where you originated and be put on a watch list nationally for immediate detainment and repatriation to your home country. I live in Texas, surrounded by more and more Hispanic families each year, and I am glad they are here. But even they do not want known criminals living among us, and it does not matter what nationality those criminals are.

11. When people say "if they commit a crime then deport them back to their home country"

Does that imply after they serve whatever sentence? I always assumed it does, but I figure I should check my assumption.

13. California is a sanctuary state.

Law enforcement in CA are banned from sharing any information with ICE, or using any public resource to assist ICE in any way, even voluntary.
So you pick up an idiot for his 4th DUI, and you know he’s in the country illegally, you can’t get him kicked out of the country. Jails are full, so judges let them go. He’s free to go out and kill someone.
Several CA municipalities which wish to cooperate with ICE have filed suit against the state.

8. IF THIS PERSON HAD BEEN GIVEN DOCUMENTATION PAPERS

Then he would have been caught sooner. I really think it was VERY lucky they caught this guy before he ESCAPED. One rotten person does not make everyone rotten. I think all the GOP in government are really rotten, but many of the people who voted for them may not be so ROTTEN.......

9. If Gustavo Perez Arriaga was deported after his DUI arrest in 2014

Then he never would have been in the position to kill Officer Singh. He should have been deported, not given documentation papers.

Arriaga has destroyed two families with his actions.

14. Permanent residents can be deported in some cases for DUIs

2 DUIs and being a known gang member would be a sure flag. Sanctuary laws are poorly written and often protecthe people even President Obama felt should be deported.
