Illegal immigrant ordered freed by feds now suspected of murder in Ohio
By Edmund DeMarche - Published July 29, 2015 - FoxNews.com
Illegal immigrant suspected of murder was ordered released
An illegal immigrant suspected of murdering one woman, wounding another and attempting to rape a 14-year-old girl was released earlier this month by Ohio sheriff's deputies after U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents told them not to hold him, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Juan Emmanuel Razo, 35, was arrested Monday after a shootout with police following a crime spree police say began with the attempted rape of a girl in a park in Painesville, about 30 miles northeast of Cleveland. He later shot a woman in front of her children and murdered a 60-year-old woman in nearby Concord Township, according to police. While Razo is being held on $10 million bond, authorities are trying to explain why he was allowed to remain in the U.S. illegally after local authorities questioned him just three weeks ago.
"I can't set a bond high enough."
- Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti
“I have somebody who we don’t know who he is, why he is in this country, why he is here illegally and why he allegedly committed a murder," Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti thundered at Razo's arraignment, noting the suspect has no green card, birth certificate or driver's license.
"I can't set a bond high enough," he continued. "How in the hell do I even know it's him?"
Cicconetti later told Fox News he did not understand how federal authorities could have ordered Razo released on July 7 when local deputies questioned him and contacted Border Protection officials, given that no one could even verify his identity.
Should 'sanctuary cities' lose their federal funding?
"If you are stopped, at that point, whether it be by law enforcement or you make your first court appearance, at that point we have to have some kind of identifier on him," he said.
Deputies who questioned Razo say Border Protection officials told them Razo is from Mexico and in the U.S. illegally, but said they would not pick him up for deportation. Lake County Sheriff Dan Dunlap said at a news conference that deputies released Razo because he hadn't committed a crime at that point.

A Border Protection spokesman did not return telephone messages seeking comment. A spokesman for U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement said in an email that ICE was closely monitoring the case. The email identified Razo as Juan Emmanuel Razo-Ramirez.
A detective said during the arraignment that Razo has confessed to the deadly, one-day crime spree in the quiet Lake Erie town. Police began seeking Razo late Monday morning after the girl described him to police and said he had tried to rape her. Hours later, he allegedly shot a 40-year-old woman in the arm as she walked with her two children along a bike path and an hour after that, a man told park rangers he'd found his wife, 60-year-old Margaret Kostelnik, shot to death in their home near the bike path.
The Lake County coroner said Kostelnik, who was an assistant to the mayor in nearby Willoughby, was shot multiple times.
Authorities say Juan Emmanuel Razo fatally shot Margaret Kostelnik.
“People always say, ‘Oh, she’s the nicest person in the world,’” Willoughby Mayor David Anderson told FoxNews.com. "But Margaret Kostelnik is the nicest person you could ever meet.”
Anderson said he worked with Kostelnik for the 24 years he served as mayor and that her family is deeply entrenched in the 23,000-person community. Her husband has worked as the town’s cemetery sexton for the past 25 years.
“She genuinely cared,” Anderson said.
Willoughby and Concord Township are in Lake County, and Painesville is the county seat.
A public defender entered a not guilty plea for Razo on Tuesday.
Tension between local and federal law enforcement agencies over how to handle illegal immigrants was brought to the forefront after the killing of Kathryn Steinle July 1 on a San Francisco pier. The 32-year-old was allegedly shot by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez who had been deported five times and had a felony record.
Lopez-Sanchez has said he came to San Francisco because he knew local police would not turn him over for deportation because of the city’s sanctuary policy, which has caused Republicans to blame these policies adopted by liberal enclaves nationwide.
Lopez-Sanchez was freed in March on an old marijuana charge even though Immigration and Customs Enforcement had filed a detainer request with San Francisco law enforcement. The city's sheriff's department was criticized for releasing Lopez-Sanchez and not notifying federal immigration authorities.
Lopez-Sanchez pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and weapons charges in the case. His bail was set at $5 million, which means he will stay in jail until the murder trial, where he faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment.

I am pretty sure he ordered Goodell to suspend Brady.
If the Yankees don't get a starting pitcher today I am blaming Obama as everyone knows Cashman takes his orders from the supreme commander.

Alloak41 – there is no way they will acknowledge the facts. Low-info voters are the manta of the socialist/democrats.
Why am I not surprised?
The socialist/democrats commenting have no clue of Obama’s illegal executive orders on immigration and orders to Homeland Security to not deport illegals, even illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
I shouldn’t be surprised.
Illegal aliens with criminal convictions released by ICE have murdered over 120 Americans Citizens over the last five years.
Of course the socialist/democrats couldn’t care less about people murdered as a result of their own party’s policies.
Notice they don’t even want to talk about the thousands of dead black people in the cities that they are responsible for running?
They rage against The Confederate Flag as (falsely) a symbol of racism and has killed no one but support Planned Parenthood who in 2014 killed 90,000 black babies.
The socialist/democrats political agenda and a vote are far more important to them than a human life.
More people have been deported during Obama's administration than under GW Bush's.
Like orders not to enforce certain laws?

It never is. I noticed nobody could give me a single example of that being the case probably because there are none.
No, anything and everything bad will simply be deflected onto Bush, Republicans in the House and Senate, the Tea Party, or what have you. The media never questions it and the GOP invariably takes the blame. That's just how it goes, and it's not even slightly arguable.

Typical Land of Make Believe nonsense in the Age of Obama...

Without question. They will stop at nothing to get a permanent majority. Racial division, allowing floods of aliens, identity politics, class envy, you name it. Not only are their views to be tolerated under any and all circumstances, they can't stand any of those views even being questioned.

Even if I did, it immediately gets defected off onto Bush, Tea Party, GOP, Reagan, ect, ect. Every instance, every issue, every time.
The only conclusion left to be drawn is that someone hasn't been paying attention, and it's not me. I resigned myself long ago to the reality that if something bad happens it's going to be blamed on Republicans. That's just the way it goes so what do you do?
Curiously, still not one response or example of ANYTHING the Democrats have EVER taken the blame for. Not one.

________________________________________________________________________It is not a matter of “BLAME EVERY F*ING THING ON OBAMA, HILLARY, HOLDER, DEMOCRATS”.
Those are the words of someone unwilling to accept the facts: people are being murdered directly because of the corrupt and criminal activities of those people.
His political agenda is more important to him than the lives of those killed.Each of those named have taken actions that resulted in the death of many American Citizens and yet not one of the morally bankrupt socialist/democrats care at all.
No affect or empathy for the dead.

Interesting that conservatives ignore the thousands being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan because of Bush's FUBAR wars. There would be no ISIS if we had not invaded Iraq and destabilized the region so now civilians are being slaughtered and killed as collateral damage. Oh well, they are not Americans so who cares right?

This response is exactly why I love to play with the little liberal kids. They haven’t a clue.
1.) “Interesting that conservatives ignore the thousands being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan”
Probably because it has nothing to do with this thread.
2.) “because of Bush's FUBAR wars”
The standard liberal lie they use because they are compelled to hate President Bush.
3.) “There would be no ISIS if we had not invaded Iraq”
Another standard response of the factually challenged and ignorant.
ISIS rose when Obama cut and ran from Iraq.
4.) “so now civilians are being slaughtered and killed as collateral damage”
So now you support war in the Middle East?
The corrupt and criminal acts by Obama, Hillary and Holder are directly responsible for Americans being murdered and the liberals couldn’t care less. That alone is both sad but not surprising.
The liberals are far more upset because a hunter killed a lion. Of course they express their feigned outrage while eating a steak dinner.

It has everything to do with the topic as it shows your hypocrisy. If every life matters then why no outrage from you about the deaths in the Middle East caused by the Bush wars?
There would be no ISIS if Bush had not created the power vacuum in Iraq with his bogus wars. That is a fact. And you need to get your facts straight Mule Obama was only carrying out the Bush mandated withdrawal plan for Iraq and Afghanistan. It was mandated by treaty.
2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory". The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement.
And I support our troops as they are dying for a losing cause but I do not support the wars and never have.
Comparing eating a steak dinner with senseless killing of an endangered species for sport shows you are clueless.

We already know everything is Bush's fault. Kind of goes without saying at this point. However, it's weird that Iraq destabilized five years after he was gone. Oh well.

You sure have become tiresome, pedestrian and lame. You realize you are posting your "woe is me", "it's never the Democrats fault" pig $hit in a thread that completely blames democrats.
Got to hand it to you for being a team player. But man, this game is getting boring. SSDD.

Typical Alloak, can't dispute what someone posts so he resorts to snarky comments.
I believe in giving credit when credit is due Alloak and Bush gets all the credit for the two wars that created the current Middle East FUBAR. Why is it you conservatives ignore the senseless killing over there but go out of your way to try to find some issue you can blame Oabma for?

The Middle East has been FUBAR since before Bush was in diapers. Probably always will be.

Wrong. There were strong leaders in Middle East countries that basically kept the peace. Iran and Iraq fought each other to a stalemate and the status quo remained. Even when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the rest of the world hit back and freed Kuwait. Bush the First had enough sense to realize that Sadaam could be controlled and eliminating him would create a void that would end in chaos. Bush the Second did not inherit his father's common sense.
