DA\u2019s office say this new directive from George Gascon allows anyone under criminal investigation to contact the DA\u2019s office before a case is filed and notify them that charges could have\u00a0\u2018adverse immigration consequences,\u2019\u201d Fox News reporter William La Jeunesse <a href=\"https:\/\/grabien.com\/story.php?id=404279&#038;utm_source=cliplist&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=cliplist20221208&#038;utm_content=story404279\">stated<\/a>. \u201cAnd if alternatives exist, DAs are told to pursue those instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the deportation of illegal immigrants due to criminal convictions, La Jeunesse stated, \u201cGascon does not want that to happen, telling his deputies don\u2019t go to court, don\u2019t file charges, plead it down, dismiss, or seek diversion without flagging immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll charging determinations shall be undertaken with the goal of avoiding or mitigating adverse immigration consequences,\u201d Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s directive reads.<\/p>\n<p>Tiffany Blackwell, communications director for the DA\u2019s office, informed Fox News Digital, \u201cWe\u2019ve consulted with our staff, community stakeholders and immigration experts to craft a comprehensive immigration policy that protects vulnerable victims and prioritizes safety while attempting to avoid overly punitive consequences for the accused. We believe that we have achieved that result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, La Jeunesse reported, deputies in Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s office expect multitudinous requests from immigration lawyers, resulting in U.S. citizens facing more serious charges than illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s saying we\u2019re giving better deals to someone because of their immigration status,\u201d Eric Siddall, vice president of the Association for Deputy District Attorneys of Los Angeles County, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Gasc\u00f3n, whose soft-on-crime policies have been blamed for putting residents at risk, was harshly criticized after a notorious criminal murdered two police officers after he was given probation instead of a jail term in 2020 over an illegal gun charge.<\/p>\n<p>Justin William Flores, on parole at the time of the shooting, made a plea deal whereby he received two years probation and 20 days in jail in 2020 because of Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s policy of not prosecuting three-strike cases. Prior to Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s policy, Flores could have been sent back to prison for a minimum of three years, as he had already served time in prison twice for felony burglary and car theft. Flores had been barred from carrying a gun since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourt records also showed at least a dozen other prosecutions, many resolved with no contest pleas and probationary sentences, for charges such as driving with a suspended license, being under the influence of a controlled substance, or resisting arrest,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/el-monte-officers-murdered-alleged-killer-on-probation-for-illegal-gun\/2917849\/\">NBC Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0reported. \u201cLaw enforcement sources told the I-Team they believed at least one of the two murdered officers would have recognized Flores on sight and by name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s office defended the decision of the softer sentence for Flores, stating, \u201cThe sentence he received in the firearm case was consistent with case resolutions for this type of offense given his criminal history and the nature of the offense.
