11:25 AM   In Federal Custody After Shoplifting

11:25 AM In Federal Custody After Shoplifting

HOUSTON COUNTY:    On July 4th Iris Yaneli Flores Garcia, age 21, was arresteed and placed in Houston County Jail for Retail Theft in the third degree. Retail Theft in the third degree is normally shoplifting.

Garcia was placed in jail on a $ 300 bond. The bond was made, however, she was not released from Houston County Jail. The INS placed a hold on her.

This morning, July 7, at 5:02 AM Garcia was released to the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, commonly referred to as INS.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (a former U.S. government agency)The INS, which was replaced in 2003, handled immigration matters.

Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS):
  • The INS was a U.S. government agency responsible for immigration and naturalization from 1933 to 2003.
  • It was initially part of the Department of Labor and later moved to the Department of Justice.
  • In 2003, the INS was dissolved and its functions were divided among US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
  • USCIS handles immigration services, ICE focuses on enforcement and removal, and CBP is responsible for border security.

The deportation is real. And this is one example where a 21 year old undocumented immigrant, who apparently shoplifted, is now on her way to whereabouts unknown to sit in a jail cell awaiting deportation. So when we read all of the stories, believe them, because deportation is real.

Kyle Scott I am calling you out for Slander!!!

Kyle Scott I am calling you out for Slander!!!

Kyle Scott wrote a post below, accusing district three commissioner Bradley Bedwell of stealing his yard signs and placing his signs in their place.  But Bradley had permission from the property owner, to place his signs on that property. In fact his property manager Sam wrote on the post that Bradley was in the right and that Scott did not have any signs there this morning, when he drove by on his way to James Oates Park. Could have been a simple owner tenant misunderstanding, but it is not. As you can see by the screenshot of Kyle’s post at 1007 pm, Scott deleted Sam’s message after learning the truth, just to slander Bedwell’s character. People you better get out and vote August 5th, this proves this man doesn’t care about the truth or telling lies to get in that commission chair. Messages are time stamped, so how are you going to make this Bedwell’s fault, like you do with all of your other shortcomings Scott.
