Previously deported man charged with 12 burglaries

Jesus Ivan Arandaluna, 26, has been in trouble with the law before in Montgomery County.
In February 2004, Arandaluna was sentenced to three years of probation for having sex with his then 14-year-old girlfriend, court records show. But before he could be processed by parole, he was deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Now he’s back in jail in Maryland on a spate of burglary charges and court records show that ICE isn’t through with him, either; he’ll likely be deported again.
It’s not clear if Arandaluna actually has any family to support in the area, although he told police when he was arrested last month that he has mouths to feed and couldn’t find work to get the cash.
In August 2004, Arandaluna moved into a Germantown trailer park with his girlfriend. Court records say her father allowed it because she threatened to run away with him, as she had for nearly a month that same summer. Rape charges weren’t pressed against Arandaluna until November, and most were dropped soon after.
Starting in April of this year, Arandaluna popped back on the radar as Montgomery County police investigated burglaries in the posh Milestone apartment complex in Germantown.
Arandaluna was identified by an associate, Santos Perez Sibrian, after Sibrian was arrested. Sibrian had tried to sell a $12,000 watch in an area pawn shop for $1,000, arousing the suspicion of the shop keeper, who came to believe it was stolen, police said.
During the execution of a search warrant on the men’s residences, both located in the same trailer park where Arandaluna had lived with his girlfriend, jewelry was found from what police said could be a dozen homes. Cocaine, cash and other stolen items were found in Sibrian's nearby trailer.

I agree 100% with the previous poster, but there is another component to that problem. Besides Heller, nobody is really standing up for this right. I attended a citywide meeting on crime recently, and when I raised the issue of gun ownership by law abiding citizens, one of the panelists raised her voice over me so loudly that I couldn't even finish a sentence and proceeded to storm out of the room accusing me of just wanting to shoot someone. (There were some others there who had the class to at lease listen me finish my thoughts.) Then, counsilman Harry Thomas, Jr. gave a speach about how more guns could only be a bad thing regardless of who has them, no doubt directed at me for raising the issue. One problem is that people who believe in these rights aren't attending these types of meetings and speaking out. We need more than just posting our frustrations to blogs. This needs to be an issue at community meets and at election time.

It's amusing to see that some people "disagreed" with "El Guapo" on his comment noting that Prof. Rasmusen admits his 21 percent number is wrong. How do you disagree with a fact? Anyone can check this by searching for "Eric Rasmusen" "immigration" and "21 percent." We have to wonder why the Examiner published the 21 percent figure more than a month after Prof. Rasmusen had abandoned it. And why doesn't it run a correction now that people have pointed out the error?

The illegal immigration problem is the neuvo cuisine, but few want to confess its been a few decades in the making and just as serious as it is today. The illegal immigration and liberalized legal immigration are compounded by a certain political party that has brow beaten productive and pro-active enforcement efforts for decades. They have dealt the intelligence community the same blow and restrictions over the decades, which this current President inherited in 2001. This was put squarely in his lap by the guilty and blamed on him within months of 9/11. I left that party after witnessing the bloodletting of the 1990s, and nothing was done. The left never even considered them human riohts violations and the ACLU was silent. We have a new face of "totally kewl, new change turn the page" who will ensure a reversal of the "Bush Lied People Died years" who promises a real forthcoming horror, and everyone believes him and loves him.

El Guapo said:
The author mentions Prof Rasmusen's estimate that illegal immigrants commit 21% of cimres in the US. Rasmusen has since revised his estimate to 6.1% which is still overstated because the figures used to calculate that estimate were for non-citizens most of whom are not illegal aliens. One would expect to see such misstatements of facts on a blog run by a hack like Rasmusen. It's disappointing to see in what I thought was a reputable medium.

If a 26 year old U.S. citizen had sexual relations with a 14 year old girl he would be in the slammer for 5 years for statutory rape and would have to register as a sexual predator. The prosecuting attorneys consider this part of the Latino culture and don't charge them with a serious crime. If they come here they must adapt to our culture and laws.

People like Luis Hurtado, what can be said of them. They are simply third world mentality all the way. What does he mean the bad economy is "pushing" more "immigrants"(illegal aliens) to turn to crime. Growing up in the United States I was taught in school that crime is a choice. No one is "pushed" to it. But as I said, these people come from a crime ridden nation, that never taught morality, where the bribe is the rule and stealing is clever if you get away with it. But El Presidente Bush, and Senator John,"Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for fift dollars an hour", say we need these family values. And Obama just plain wants to eliminate the borders of this nation. Write in, in November, Dr. Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, or any other person who actually cares about Americans and America. McCain and Obama are totally in the pockets of the corporate fascists. They could not be more worthless to honest, hardworking, taxpaying Americans. They are in fact, utterly toxic to the American citizenry.

every crime committed by an illegal alien is a crime that would not have happened if the illegal alien wasn't here in the first place. sure americans commit crimes too, but illegals are criminals to begin with just by crossing our border without documents. if there are no more construction jobs and they can't get anyone to hire them due to e-verify, why don't the take the hint and GO HOME??? they're like ignorant pests who refuse to believe that nobody wants them here. they'd rather stay here and steal than go back to their home countries. they have an agenda. more anchor babies for the reconquista. DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS!!

Every single illegal alien needs to be deported. It is time to take our country back. We use to live by the rule of law; one law for everyone applied equally. Illegal aliens are lawbreakers. They decide which laws they will follow and which they will ignore. They are attacking the very fabric of our society. If they are afraid of the police and don't report crime, too bad. It is the price they pay for being criminals. They should return to their own country.

It says that police cite illegal immigrants as a reason for a wave of burglaries, but I don't see that citation anywhere. This sounds to me like fear-mongering. Someone has an opinion about illegal immigration, they want to make it, so they lie or distort the facts. Great article, but it needs a different title. One that actually fits the description.

Crime in DC is not declining. It has been increasing for years but the Chief of Police plays games with the statistics to make the outcome suit her needs. Chief Ramsey did this and his prototype Chief Lanier is doing the same. No surprises here.

You must have been forced to retire, for you to blame everything on Ramsey. Apparently he did not choose you therefore I hear the bitterness coming out in your comment about black men what is your problem your sheet on too tight. Get a life and continue to praise this chief who can't organize her way out of a paper bag. And what problem do you have with Groomes she is doing a better job then that so call chief.

Lanier is not doing a bad job. She has alot to fix considering how bad Ramsey screwed up this department. The best move she has made by far is demoting Brian Jordan, Willie Dandridge, and Robin Hoey. How these three even got promoted to their old positions is beyond me. It must have been a Ramsey thing, because to put it simply, they are not very smart, they are kind of a cross between being stupid and ignorant. Now, the worst move she has made so far is promoting Diane Groomes. I worked with her in 3-D before I retired and this woman has a very serious mental problem. As everyone on the department knows by now, she is bi-polar and needs serious medicial treatment to stop her abusive behavior towards the people she works with. Chief Lanier, you really ned to reconsider this one, she is a bad seed. All in all, not too bad of a job Chief.
