Judge Andrew Napolitano criticized the Oregon government after it failed to protect a senior citizen who was allegedly sexually assaulted by an illegal immigrant.

Sergio Martinez was deported 20 times prior to the alleged attack.

As FoxNews.com reported:

Sergio Jose Martinez, 31, was taken into custody Monday night on charges that include robbery, kidnapping, burglary and sexual abuse involving two victims.

Martinez allegedly assaulted a woman in the basement of a parking garage while armed with a knife, police said. The woman kicked him in the stomach and pressed the panic button in her car, and Martinez fled when authorities arrived.

The suspect has been a transient in the Portland area for more than a year and has five probation violations for re-entering the United States.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an immigration detainer against Martinez in December 2016, asking local authorities to notify them before releasing Martinez. However, he was released into the community and ICE was not notified.

It is illegal for cities in Oregon to use their resources to help enforce federal immigration laws; in March, Portland declared itself a "sanctuary city" for undocumented immigrants.

"There's obviously something wrong with the system," Napolitano said.

Portland, where the alleged incident occurred, is a sanctuary city.

He wondered aloud why the Oregon government "would not be concerned enough for the safety of the people."

Napolitano said that returning to the United States after deportation is a crime, and coming back 19 more times is 19 more crimes.

"Why hasn't he been arrested?" he asked.

Judge Nap Blasts OR Gov't After 20-Time Deportee Allegedly Assaults Woman - Fox News Insider

Jacksonville restaurant owners are accused of hiding people in their home who are in the country illegally.

According to an affidavit filed Monday, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security bust happened July 6 at a home in the 11400 block of Tori Lane, near Dunn Avenue and Duval Road. An investigation into a tip about a 16-year-old who had been smuggled into the country led investigators to the Northside home.

The tip came during an operation to crack down on organizations smuggling undocumented children into the United States. That information eventually led special agents to the home on Tori Lane, which the government said is tied to Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Lounge, which is located just a few miles away at the River City Marketplace.

One of them went in the house with, like, a long chain with a bunch of handcuffs, neighbor David Davis said.

Davis lives next door and says he was there when special agents were at the home on July 6.

Loaded them in the van and hauled them off, Davis said.

According to an affidavit, ICE agents went to the home looking for a Guatemalan person potentially connected to smuggling a 16-year-old child. The Guatemalan person wasnt there, but agents ended up arresting six other illegal immigrants.

The affidavit says the home is owned by Xiu Liu and Liang Yang, who also own Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse, the place where all the illegal immigrants said they worked.

On Monday, Action News Jaxs Michael Yoshida went to the steakhouse and asked to speak with the owners. He was told to speak with a lawyer, whom he called. The lawyer declined to comment.

The affidavit said the owners didn't ask for identification for employment but were told all workers were getting immigration status. It also says they didn't charge the immigrants rent.

There has been a shift in the language that the U.S. Department of Justice is using in its press releases and official announcements, and its not sitting well with some. The DOJ, under the leadership of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has begun using the term illegal aliens to refer to immigrants who do not have the proper paperwork to be in the United States. Last week, in announcing stricter rules for so-called sanctuary cities, a DOJ announcement said, So-called sanctuary policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes.

The DOJ also sent this press release out last month:

Advocates point to the 2012 Supreme Court ruling in which Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote,As a general rule, it is not a crime for a movable alien to remain in the United States.

In conservative circles, the term illegal immigrant is frequently used in the immigration battle. President Donald Trump has used the term repeatedly on Twitter during his term, and on the campaign trail.

I think this cuts to the heart of the debate over sanctuary cities and to what extent local law enforcement should cooperate with immigration authorities. Important legal nuances are reflected in words we use. A detainee is not a prisoner, for instance, wrote Ted Slowik in a recent opinion piece for The Chicago Tribune.

We reached out to the Department of Justice to find out more about why the decision was made.

Immigrant rights advocates are urging a federal judge to close out a court case before Texas can use it to nix the Obama-era amnesty thats currently protecting nearly 800,000 illegal immigrant Dreamers.

While the Trump administration is still trying to decide what to do about the Obama amnesty, known in Washington as DACA, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has taken up the case.

MALDEF told Judge Andrew S. Hanen that even though he has ruled against a broader amnesty, implemented by President Obama in 2014 and known as DAPA, he cannot now expand the case to include the original DACA amnesty, created in 2012.

DACA was in place over two years before the 2014 DAPA memorandum [was] issued. Plaintiffs could have challenged it when they filed suit in December 2014, yet they instead chose to file suit only against the DAPA memorandum, MALDEF said in its latest filing.

The original 2012 DACA itself is not at issue here, the groups lawyers said.

They said both Judge Hanen and Texas repeatedly agreed during two years of legal argument that the case only tangentially dealt with Dreamers.

They pointed to a Jan. 15, 2015, statement by Texas lawyer, who said flatly that the state was not challenging the DACA program.

Judge Hanen in 2015 ruled the broader DAPA amnesty a violation of federal procedural laws. An appeals court upheld his injunction, ruling DAPA also broke immigration law.

The Supreme Court last year deadlocked 4-4 on the case, leaving the injunction in place.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has now said that if DAPA is illegal, so is DACA, which rests on the same basic legal claims of executive flexibility in enforcing immigration law. He has given the Trump administration until early September to phase out the program, or else he said he will ask Judge Hanen to invalidate it.

The DAPA program would have applied to perhaps 4 million illegal immigrant parents with U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident children. It would have offered a temporary year stay of deportation and granted work permits, entitling illegal immigrants to Social Security numbers, drivers licenses and some taxpayer benefits.

The DACA program offered the same benefits but to some 800,000 young adult illegal immigrants, known as Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. as children.

Homeland Security has revoked the DAPA policy, but has said it would keep the DACA policy in place though Secretary John F. Kelly has said legal experts told him the policy is likely to be found illegal should the issue reach the decision stage in court.

Activists have struggled to refute the legal questions, but insist Mr. Trump should fight to preserve the program anyway for the sake of Dreamers.

An illegal immigrant who had been previously deported 20 times was arrested recently after having allegedly sexually assaulted two women and stolen a car. The man had been previously arrested by a sanctuary county in Oregon in 2016 and released by police, who refused to notify immigration officials that they had him in custody.

Sergio Jose Martinez, 31, was arrested in Portland, Oregon, on Monday. Police say hes been accused of breaking into the home of and sexually assaulting a 65-year-old woman, stealing the womans car, and then sexually assaulting a second woman, according to a report by KGW-TV.

KGW-TV also reported Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that handles deportations, claims despite Ramirezs long history of violating local and federal laws, Multnomah County police released Ramirez in 2016 without notifying ICE, which had filed an immigration detainer requesting authorities notify the agency before releasing Ramirez.

Multnomah County is a sanctuary county, which means it refuses to work with federal immigration officials to deport people illegally in the country, even if those people have a violent history and have continuously refused to adhere to U.S. immigration laws.

In December 2016, commissioners in Multnomah County approved a measure officially making the county a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. At the time the resolution was passed, Loretta Smith, a commissioner in the county, said she had no idea what the repercussions of the decision would be, but that it was the right thing and good for the community.

I have no idea what the repercussions are, but when you are standing for the right thing, and to do the good thing for your community, you always are on the right side of policy, and politics, as well, Smith said, according to a separate report by KGW-TV.

We are not holding folks for ICE, Smith added. We dont police for our immigration departments. We are a safety net government thats here to help the people. We want to make sure that they know we have their back and we are going to help them as best we can, Smith said.

On June 29, the House of Representatives approved Kates Law, an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act. Kates Law would allow courts to impose a prison sentence for up to two years for any non-criminal alien who has been denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed, or who has departed the United States while an order of exclusion, deportation, or removal is outstanding, and subsequently enters, attempts to enter, crosses the border to, attempts to cross the border to, or is at any time found in the United States.

Kates law would also impose severe prison sentences on aliens who commit crimes while in the United States and then illegally return to the country.

The Senate has yet to vote on the amendment, but on Saturday, President Donald Trump, who supports Kates Law, said the Senate should change its rules so that it could pass the measure, as well as implement health care reform and other legislation.

Republicans in the Senate will NEVER win if they dont go to a 51 vote majority NOW, Trump wrote on Twitter. They look like fools and are just wasting time. 8 Dems totally control the U.S. Senate. Many great Republican bills will never pass, like Kates Law and complete Healthcare. Get smart!
