Steve Brown on Newsmakers


Steve Brown, executive director of the RI chapter of the ACLU, stopped by the set of WPRI-WNAC-TV's Newsmakers this morning to discuss GPS monitoring of students in Middletown and illegal immigration.

I asked Brown about the case of Mynor Montufar, the illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was arrested after being identified on the front of the ProJo as the father of Rhode Island's New Year's baby, and his own level of responsiblity for the situation. Brown responded by saying that Montufar wanted to be there for the birth of the baby, and that for ICE to prioritize his arrrest and detention was mean-spirited and contrary to the Bush administration's touting of its "family values."

Brown also said that the current focus on illegal immigration in America should be viewed in the context of the hostility long faced by immigrants in the US.

The show will be broadcast Sunday, at 5:30 am on Channel 12 and at 10 am on Fox 64.

steve brown made unsubstantiated allegations that the performance of their sworn duties by the ICE agents resulted in the death of the man who hung himself-having executed hundreds of similar warrants i can tell you it would be virtually impossible for a person to hang themselves while people were present in the apartment without making enough noise to attract attention-the agents can't ever be right in steve brown's book-his agenda is that ICE not do their job-did steve brown produce one shred of documentation to back up his allegation?if i accused steve brown of being a pedophile because he opposed jessica's law it would be just as irresponsible-i know what the agents are going through right now because of the paper pushers in headquarters who never had the cojones to work the street end of the job-why the man committed suicide may never be known-i would think he must have had a personal crisis -i never noticed in all the years of arresting guatemalans or anyone else for that matter that any of them were in such fear that they would kill themselves-as a matter of fact,most arrestees treated the situation as routinely as we did-mr.montufar absolutely deserved what he got-not only was he a fugitive,but he was foolish enough to go on tv and appear in the paper-what did he expect?-it was "mean spirited?"-that is total bs-it was the execution of an order by the federal immigration court-the advocates have no argument here-the venom used against the officers for doing their job is what is truly mean spirited and agenda driven-and i don't want to hear the drivel about what the US did in guatemala in 1953-david segal repeated that in an op-ed and i called him on it-it was part of the commie mantra of the 50's and 60's-it needs to be given a rest-i think it was a lowlife scummy move to use something as tragic as a suicide to push an agenda supporting illegal aliens-the man had DUE PROCESS and there are consequences for your acts-steven brown,wannabe attorney ought to realize that
