COBB COUNTY SHERIFF CRAIG OWENS IS A DANGEROUS MAN

September 9, 2024 By D.A. King

 

“It may be historic in that it’s likely the first time a Cobb County sheriff has moved to protect drunk driving child rapists in our country illegally.”

So says Jon Ferre of Cobb’s Democrat Sheriff, Craig Owens. Ferre was Senior Advisor to the Director and later Chief of Staff at ICE under the Trump administration. Owens is well-known for inviting a mariachi band to play at a gala event in which he proudly announced he had ended the Cobb jail’s lifesaving 287(g) agreement with ICE shortly after taking office in 2021.

Signed into law by then President Bill Clinton, 287 (g) authorizes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate to state and local law enforcement officers the authority to perform limited, specified immigration officer functions under the agency’s direction and oversight. It is primarily used in jails and deals with illegal aliens already arrested for additional crimes.

As this writer observed when he was elected, Sheriff Craig Owens is a dangerous man. He is also defiantly arrogant. He has announced that he will not obey new state law on immigration enforcement.

Owens has pledged to ignore a clear mandate in HB 1105 (“The Georgia Criminal Alien Track and Report Act”) passed in the 2024 General Assembly. In part, it requires all sheriffs to apply for 287 (g) authority if they are not already authorized.

From the AJC: (“Whiplash in Gwinnett, Cobb as new law on immigration enforcement takes effect) “Owens says he was not going to apply for 287(g) again because he can’t spare the deputies to investigate  immigration cases or do the administrative work.” Sheriff Owens is depending on public ignorance on the reality of the ICE program. But even the AJC quotes Lena Gerber, a leftist activist at the “Immigrant Legal Resource Center” when she correctly points out that “…the agreements on their own don’t require deputies to go out of their way to investigate immigration cases.”

Ferre, the former ICE official agreed. “Asking a jailed individual a few questions about citizenship and alienage obviously doesn’t amount to an investigation.” Now at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington D.C., Ferre produced required reading on Cobb’s Sheriff (Georgia Sheriff Misleads on 287(g) Program) in June.

I asked various pro-enforcement Georgians about Owens announcement.

“I believe that would be called a “protection racket” for illegals…” former Border Patrol Agent Robert Trent told me upon hearing of Owen’s latest illegal policy. Trent retired as Assistant Director, Enforcement Training, US Immigration Officer Academy at GLYNCO in Brunswick.

HB 1105 sponsor Rep Jesse Petrea (R-Savannah) weighed in on Owens defiance: “It was not surprising to see Sheriff Owens of Cobb County boldly state he would not follow state law. He has refused to follow the law before. This is why penalties for Sheriffs who refuse to follow the law were placed in the bill”

*  Related reading: Georgia law requires all jailers to report incarcerated illegal aliens to DHS – but it’s not enforced

Petrea told this writer he is determined to see compliance this time. We hope to hear the same from Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr.

Passage of HB 1105 was a direct response to preventable crimes committed by criminal  aliens and sheriffs who were ignoring 2006 and 2009 laws passed to require them to report illegal aliens to federal authorities. It is literally a law that says Georgia Sheriffs must obey the law.

Owens’ pro-enforcement opponent 

We asked Owens Republican opponent David Cavender about Owens objection to the 287 (g) program. “He can’t spare the deputies for immigration cases or the 287(g) administration paper work? He sure doesn’t mind sparing his deputies for bike units, horse units, traffic units, his and his executive staff’s personal drivers and his own Executive Protection team for his own safety. It seems Craig has plenty of resources to spare as long as it’s for his own agenda…” said Cavender.

A member of the SWAT team, Cavender is currently a Sergeant with the Cobb County Police Department and a 287(g) proponent. He has a long list of endorsements, including from former Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren and the Cobb Fraternal Order of Police. Warren instituted 287 (g) in 2007.

Pro-enforcement voters of all descriptions are flocking to Cavender. The Marietta Daily Journal noted that a large group of supporters turned out at the Marietta Country Club last week again to support Cavender. “There’s a lot of momentum behind the campaign and everything really seems to be going really well,” says Cavender. “It was quite humbling, really, to see that kind of crowd.”

Guests were also treated to an appearance from Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who gave a few words before leading the group in prayer” according to news reports.

 Pro-enforcement Cobb County voters have a chance to greatly improve public safety by voting Owens out of office. Both of the votes from our house will be to that end.

Response from Senior Admissions Counselor at the College of Coastal Georgia to inquiry regarding Dual Enrollment, illegal aliens and no-cost classes

August 16, 2024 By D.A. King

 

 

 

 

 

  • The below is a quickly posted example of what Georgia’s Dual Enrollment program really does for illegal aliens.
  • We note that GOP state Rep Steven Sainz told us in January he would work to pass a bill to reform this program but didn’t drop it until long after it had any possibility to pass in the 2024 session. It was HB 1509 – introduced on *March 21, 2024. The session ended on March 29, 2024. (*typo on date corrected on this line.)
  • Any reform should require Dual Enrollment applicants to be either U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders). This will prevent the otherwise illegal aliens who have been improperly/illegally granted “parole” by the Biden administration to access the taxpayer-funded college classes.

Greetings!

 

Thank you for your interest in the College of Coastal Georgia!

My name is Shane Apps and I work with incoming local freshmen and dual enrollment applicants.

Based on current legislation, you are correct on both statements regarding dual enrollment and post-secondary admission for undocumented students.

Please note that these policies are subject to change as we follow state of Georgia and University System of Georgia mandates.

 

Attached to this email is a flyer that goes over the admission requirements for dual enrollment applicants. (Note: See the flyer posted here – dak)

I look forward to working with you and your students throughout this process!

College of Coastal Georgia

Dear sirs,

Upon our relocation to Glynn County next year, we are looking forward to admissions/class attendance to your college for our offspring – two of whom are high school students  We are citizens of Mexico and are undocumented.

We want to take advantage of the dual enrollment program. One child will be in grade 11 and the another in grade 12. They are also undocumented.

Please confirm that after they are enrolled in high school and demonstrate the required grade point score that they can take the college level classes in the dual enrollment program at no tuition cost? We understand that the state will also pay the cost of books and fees. We think it is accurate that after they graduate from high school, they will have to pay the out of state tuition at CCCG?

Our oldest child (who has graduated high school and is undocumented) is already living in Glynn County as of January, 2024. He wants to attend CCG as well starting in Jan. of 2025. Our understanding is that regardless of the fact that he will have lived in GA for more than a year, because he cannot present “proof of lawful presence” he will be charged the out of state tuition rate but can be admitted.

Put another way, we are trying to confirm:

 

* Dual enrollment students in Georgia high school pay zero tuition or books and fees for classes at College of Coastal Georgia regardless of immigration status. 

* Undocumented students who are already out of high school must pay the out of state tuition rate and for their books and normal fees at CCG.

Please confirm the above understanding is correct and accurate?

Thank you so much for your time. We look forward to your reply and any corrections to our understanding.

Our friend and neighbor helped us write this letter.

We trust the information here will be kept private.

Respectfully, ***** & ********

Media request sent to the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) Re: Comment on the Addition of “Apprenticeships” to list of public benefits, OCGA 50-36-1 *Updated with reply

July 11, 2024 By D.A. King

 

  • Updated with response from Mark D’Alessio, TCSG Communications Director (note: I have added links to various documents to educate the reader).

 

 

The below media request was sent at 11:04 AM July 8, 2024 to various officials and staff at TCSG

mdalessio@tcsg.edu, bsims@tcsg.edu, gdozier@tcsg.edu, jmckoon@tcsg.edu, tharris@tcsg.edu , kkirchler@tcsg.edu , mdollar@tcsg.edu , mpeevy@tcsg.edu

To whom it may concern at TCSG,

I am writing an educational opinion column focused on the change instituted by lines 197 – 201 inSB 497 as passed in the 2024 legislative session to the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAPs) operated by TCSG as part of the newly renamed HDAP. Line 201 adds “Apprenticeships” to the list of public benefits in OCGA 50-36-1 (“Verification of Lawful Presence Within the United States”). I have been working with OCGA 50-36-1 since it was created in 2006. Generally, this addition to the law creates a mandate for applicants for the public benefit of “Apprenticeships” to complete and submit applications, affidavits and “Secure and Verifiable ID” while making TCSG responsible to collecting the documents and being registered with the federal SAVE program as a way of verifying eligibility of the applicant in the administration process.

Greg Dozier, Commissioner, TCSG.

Willful violation of the code section by an agency head can be prosecuted as a high and aggravated misdemeanor.

I did extensive research with assistance from your office in December 2023 and January 2024 on the apprenticeship program and am all but certain that I was informed the TCSG did not require an application for a prospective apprentice as that was done at the federal level. I assume the new law has changed that scenario and that there is now an application process in place in Georgia. I note that the USDOL apprentice application does not require an SSN.

In addition to this request for comment I am submitting an open records request today to TCSG asking for a copy of any application needed to satisfy the new requirement and copies of any documents that have been processed for prospective participants in the apprenticeship program since the law became effective on July 1. My ORR will include  a request for copies of applications for participation in the apprenticeship benefit by apprentices themselves, and also employers and sponsors who desire to send employees to be “unskilled” at taxpayer expense and become beneficiaries of state funding to create and expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs).

Supra.com has reported that “through RAPs, employers can access support to train skilled workers and meet their workforce needs. Currently, Georgia has more than 10,000 apprentices in RAPs.”

I am also interested in educating readers on the inclusion of H1-B workers in the RAP. Please note that I was assured by TCSG staff earlier this year that “undocumented immigrants” can participate in the RAP and by another staffer that H1-B workers were apprenticeship beneficiaries.

To insure a fair, balanced and accurate write up of TCSG’s adherence to the law and to explain the changes made by the TCSG staff to accommodate the new mandate, I would welcome any input, comment, explanation and description of any newly instituted administrative practices by TCSG in this regard from your office.

I will likely have additional questions on details as follow-up. I would be grateful for your input in my effort to educate readers that includes many Georgia legislators.

I not only write on my own blog (ImmigrationPoliticsGA.com), but also at James Magazine Online, various Georgia newspapers, Breitbart News and The Federalist.

Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to your input. My deadline is Noon, Friday, July 12, 2024.

Thank you for your consideration.

Response received from TCSG’s Mark D’Allessio (Executive Director Office of Communications, TCSG) on July 11, 2024 at 2:18 PM

“Hi Mr. King

To administer S.B. 497 the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), Office of Workforce Development (OWD) anticipates carrying out the following procedure in reference to the requirements of O.C.G.A § 50-36-1.  We anticipate that this procedure will be included in the High Demand Apprenticeship Program Policy and Procedures document reviewed and approved by the TCSG Board at a later date, but prior to the start of the application period.

For an employer to be eligible for a contract to be executed with TCSG, the employer must submit to OWD the following required documents:

 

  • Signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Agreement
  • Supplier Change Request (SCR)/Vendor Management form
  • IRS Form W-9
  • Employment & Training Administration (ETA) Form 671 (for apprentice)
  • Wage Verification Form (for apprentice)

The following process would be completed by the individual apprentice:

Federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program 

In accordance with Georgia law (O.C.G.A § 50-36-1), the Office of Workforce Development will require apprentices whose employer receive funds from the High Demand Apprenticeship Program to provide the following documents as verification of lawful presence in the U.S:

 At least one (1) Secure and Verifiable document (for apprentice)

o        Driver’s License/State ID

o        U.S. Passport

o        Military ID

o        U.S. Permanent Resident Card (Green card), etc.

Signed Verification of Eligibility for Public Benefit Affidavit w/ One of the Three Categories Selected (for apprentice)

o        U.S. Citizen

o        Legal permanent resident of the U.S

o        Qualified Alien or Non-immigrant under the Federal Immigration & Nationality Act

Applicants who identify themselves as Qualified Aliens/Non-immigrants on the affidavit must be verified through the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program (SAVE).

The contract award agreement will be issued to the employer contingent on the documents being submitted to TCSG and successfully passing SAVE verification. Any apprentice that fails to provide documentation or fails to pass verification will be ineligible to participate in the HDAP.

Once the contract agreement has been finalized and all apprentices have been verified, the employer is permitted to participate in the HDAP and receive associated funding per the contract agreement award terms and conditions.

Thank you

Mark”

D.A. King, 1 April 1952 – 5 March 2025

March 23, 2025 By Fred

We are sorry to inform you that D.A. King, President and founder of the Dustin Inman Society, has left us.

Donald (“D.A.”) Arthur King, 1 April 1952 – 5 March 2025.

D.A. King left this life and his work for the nation that he loved, confident that he has done his best. D.A. passed on peacefully after a private battle with cancer.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine” – D.A. was always visibly proud of his service and his honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps (1970-1976).

D.A. described himself as “pro-enforcement” on immigration and borders, an issue on which he dedicated the last 21 years of his life as an expert activist, writer and public speaker.
