Following the arrest of many illegal aliens in his county for looting in the wake of the catastrophic Hurricane Ian, a senior Florida sheriff declared that his area’s citizens will be protected from criminals looking to prey on them.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno’s remarks follow Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ warning to looters not to even consider it because of what many Floridians have inside their homes.
In Florida, DeSantis remarked, “I can assure you that you never know what may be hiding behind somebody’s home. We are a Second Amendment state, therefore I wouldn’t want to take a chance if I were you.”
Tuesday, Marceno spoke at a press conference on the detention of four alleged looters, three of whom are undocumented immigrants. Officers detained Valerie Celeste Salcedo Mena, 26, Omar Mejia Ortiz, 33, Steve Eduardo Sanchez Araya, 20, Brandon Mauricio Araya, 20, on suspicion of breaking into an uninhabited building during a time of emergency.
“When it comes to looting, Lee County is a place of law and order. We always will have law and order in our wonderful state of Florida,” added Marceno. “We currently have four cases of looting, and I’m happy to report that everyone involved is in jail, where they belong. Our inhabitants will be protected.”
Mena and the two Arayas, according to Marceno, “are here in this nation illegally.”
Marceno continued, “They were found and taken into custody. I won’t put up with it any longer.”
Marceno reiterated DeSantis’ earlier warning that looters are putting their lives in danger since so many Floridians are armed.
“I’m not having fun. We aren’t having fun. Our lovely residents will be safe and secure since there is law and order here. On these instances, there have been arrests,” Marceno continued. “Maybe you’ll enter. But y ou’ll be carried out.”
The arrests follow the detention of an illegal alien who is accused of murdering Deputy Mike Hartwick when he was on duty guarding a construction site near Interstate 275, just days before Hurricane Ian pounded the state.
DeSantis transported 50 unauthorized immigrants to Massachusetts’ Martha’s Vineyard a few days before Hartwick was slain.
In a statement at the time, a representative for DeSantis’ office stated, “Florida can confirm the two flights containing illegal immigrants that have arrived in Martha’s Vineyard today are a part of Florida’s relocation program to send illegal aliens to sanctuary areas. Encouraging illegal immigration by supporting the Biden Administration’s open border policies, and through their classification as sanctuary states, states like New York, Massachusetts, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have welcomed into our nation.”
Shoot ’em.
YES ITS OPEN SEASON. BIDEN WANTS OPEN BORDER. BUT IT ALSO OPEN SEASON ON ILLEGAL TRESPASSERS OR THIEVES.
I agree full heartedly
Hey. if they enter your house you have the second amendment to protect you. I hope they send all the these looters back with a no pass back in to the USA.
Ah well no confusion there then. Who picks up the tab for the coffin and funeral?
JUST PUT THEM IN THE DUMP!
They break our laws as if to say f…u..as they flood in. They have no money..no home..no health insurance .no food. They have nothing. Appear at our borders knowing we have thousands of homeless people..veterans on the street. I guess what bothers me is that they don’t care. They are caught trying to do home invasions hours after getting here..they litter and try and make america like what they just left.. no care..no respect. Especially…no intent of ever assimilating with us. They will stay in their own clicks and make 3rd world areas in all our communities.

“God helps those who help themselves”…more power to them!!! TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, DE SANTIS FOR VP in 2924. “Lets go brandon!!!
Whew, 2924 is only 900 years away. But, I get it.
It’s never too early to start campaigning, Dave …
Trump for president, yes. But until a person of our governors dedication and love of this state is available I personally am not interested in sharing him with so many unworthy states and those who allow those states be remain as they are. True to form those who want open borders don’t want them where they reside. Close the borders and send them back to countries they came from. My opinion.
My thoughts too. Also send back all of the illegals who crawled their way into our country.
Invade and Occupy – All the way to the Panama Canal – it is ours to begin with. We shall call it – “United States of Central America” Take the Freedom to them!
we need more governors like Ron De Santis in our country
I loved the slogan “YOU LOOT, WE SHOOT ” YES,SIR!!
DUH…. NOT 2924, 2024 my finger slipped, forgive it!!! LOL
You come to loot I’m here to shoot.
End the anchor baby scam which gives anchor babies undeserved citizenship, which their illegal alien parents then manipulate to obtain welfare and other benefits for which they neither legally nor morally qualify. Illegal aliens do not deserve citizenship for their anchor babies.
My family and I left Castro’s Gulag, aka Cuba, in 1961. Even though we were legitimately fleeing communist oppression, we had to apply for a visa and wait our turn. So I zero tolerance for pushy, entitled illegal aliens who think we owe them anything and everything.
why are there no president wana bees saying we should deport ALL millions off the illegals here now ??
