MASON CITY – A man authorities think might be an illegal alien says he’s not guilty of a strangulation attempt and awaits trial.
Mason City police were dispatched for a domestic incident after 3:00 AM on Tuesday, July 11, 2017. Officers arrived at 16 14th Street SE and encountered 34-year-old Leonardo Elivar Trejo. An investigation into the incident led to his arrest on a charge of felony domestic abuse involving strangulation.
Once in the jail, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer was put on Trejo. AS NIT has reported previously, the law states that law enforcement agencies ‘shall maintain custody of the alien,’ once an ICE detainer order on a prisoner is issued. ICE detainers are used to make sure that aliens that commit serious crimes are not released back in the public when they should be lawfully deported back to their native countries.
Trejo remains held in the county jail on no bond. He has entered a not-guilty plea in the case, and will stand jury trial on October 17. A pre-trial conference is set for October 2.
There ARE LAWS on the books to fine the hell out of employers who hire Illegals – But then again WHO IN THE HELL enforces these laws – Their hands are tied by corporate owned CROOKED elected officals and we have more than our share in IOWAAAAY – PS! the water your drinking is more than likely to cause you health problems and or premature death. DNR hands are tied thanks to corporate (some foreign -( CHINA) owned crooked politicans.
Isn’t is great we have all these Mexican jerks here illegally thanks to our politicians who encourage these assholes to come here for their cheap labor.
Why don’t they pass a law that puts a stiff fine on any employer who hires them?
As far as this dip shit, a couple of years at hard labor breaking rocks may help straighten out his attitude then deport him. Tell him if he comes back he will get 10 years of hard labor breaking rocks!
Blame the casino, they were supposed to bring in the “criminal element.”
Illegal immigrants don’t commit violent crimes, just ask the democrats.
The republicrooks know all about that.
