Washington Post Chronicles Hardships of Iowa’s Immigrants in Wake of Mollie Tibbetts’ Murder

 

In the wake of 20-year-old college student Mollie Tibbetts’ alleged murder by an illegal alien, the Washington Post profiled the small community of Brooklyn, Iowa, which has been shaken by the crime, focusing primarily on the hardships of the town’s immigrants.

 

As Breitbart News has reported extensively, 24-year-old illegal alien Cristhian Bahena-Rivera has been charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death after police say he admitted to confronting and chasing down the young woman. The illegal alien lived in a region of Iowa that was surrounded by sanctuary cities, as Breitbart News noted, and worked on a dairy farm using a stolen ID and Social Security card after allegedly crossing the U.S.-Mexico border as a child.

 

In the Washington Post‘s profile of Brooklyn, Iowa, reporter Katie Mettler focuses much of the piece on the small town’s Hispanic and immigrant population which—as she notes—represents less than 2.5 percent of the community.

 

“Brooklyn’s Latino residents say they have felt welcome in this town, which sits halfway between Iowa City and Des Moines along Interstate 80, but there have been subtle tensions,” the Washington Post report reads. “Language barriers create some separation, and there are cultural disconnects: In Mexico, quinceañeras are a community affair. Here, they are not.”

 

Later on, the Washington Post piece highlights how immigrants in the town are suffering after Tibbetts’ death and are allegedly being harassed. Specifically, Mettler notes the hardships of Bahena-Rivera’s uncle:

 

Rivera’s uncle, Eustaquio “Capi” Bahena Radilla, said he fears less for himself than for his three school-age children. Most days, Bahena Radilla socializes only with co-workers at Yarrabee Farms. Even if he spent more time in town, he wouldn’t know if neighbors were whispering about him — he doesn’t speak English. [Emphasis added]

 

Adela Fragoso, a 34-year-old Mexican immigrant who babysat for the Tibbetts family and was once an illegal alien, is noted as saying that citizens concerned with illegal immigration are “ignorant.”

 

Now 34 and a permanent U.S. resident, Fragoso said she came from Mexico with her family as a child. She had never felt unwelcome in Brooklyn, she said — but things seemed suddenly different. [Emphasis added]

 

Some of her friends on Facebook were making disparaging remarks about undocumented immigrants. One man, whom she has seen at nearby Mexican restaurants, wrote after Rivera’s arrest: “This is why we need a [expletive] wall.” [Emphasis added]

 

A hardware store owner interviewed by the Washington Post said he feels awful for the Tibbetts family, but also feels the same way for the town’s Hispanic and immigrant community. There were other mentions of the hardships of immigrants in the wake of Tibbetts’ death, where a high schooler in the town says she was sent hurtful text messages and heard students whispering about immigrants.

 

The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post has published such pieces before. Take an op-ed published in the Post last year where Muslim Americans are described as being the victims of post-September 11 American society.

 

“When 9/11 came, the community paid a heavy price. As Muslims and Muslim charities were targeted in terrorism investigations, they had to scramble to mount a legal defense,” the Post op-ed read. “Mosques often had no idea how to respond to media requests. As a result, those labeling Islam a religion of violence spoke far louder than Muslims themselves, and hate crimes against Muslims spiked.”

 

Tibbetts’ alleged killer will soon stand trial and is currently in prison on a $5 million bond.

Minnesota - Chinese Billionaire Arrested for Criminal Sexual Misconduct

 

Authorities have confirmed that Chinese e-commerce billionaire Liu Qiangdong was arrested for a brief time in Minneapolis over allegations of criminal sexual conduct.

 

The Chinese billionaire is also known as Richard Liu. He is 45 years old.

 

The brief arrest happened on Friday evening and he was released in the afternoon on Saturday. Public Information Officer John Elder said Liu was released pending formal complaint.

 

The Minneapolis Police Department reported the investigation is ongoing and would not give further details at this point.

 

Liu is the founder and CEO of Chinese online retail giant JD.com

 

Liu’s company was founded in 1998 and is part of the Fortune Global 500. The company is also China's second-largest e-commerce firm and has emerged as an aggressive competitor of Alibaba.

 

The company became popular for offering a "one-stop" shopping experience to over 300 million active customers in China, boasting of same- and next-day delivery as standard.

 

Google also announced in June that it would invest more than half a billion dollars into JD.com as part of a move to expand retail services around the world.

 

The two companies said they are poised to marry JD's supply chain and logistics experience with Google technology to create "next generation" personalized retail in regions including Southeast Asia, the US and Europe.

 

JD.com’s shares trade in the United States have prospered by appealing to the increasing sophistication of Chinese shoppers. Big global brands such as Nike, Prada and Levi’s actively use JD.com’s sales platform to reach the country’s burgeoning middle class.

 

JD.com addressed the criminal sexual misconduct allegation involving Liu in a released a statement posted on Chinese social media network Weibo. It confirmed the arrest but claimed that such arrest was carried out on “false allegation during a business trip.”

 

The statement released by Liu’s company also said authorities “found no evidence of misconduct” and released Liu to continue his trip. Said statement contradicted the U.S. police.

 

"Criminal sexual conduct" encompasses a broad spectrum of non-consensual sexual activity in the state of Minnesota.

 

The details of the allegations remain unclear at this point but we may be enlightened as the investigation progresses. This does not mean the Chinese billionaire businessman is off the hook yet.

 

Business industry observers regard the allegation against Liu as another unwelcome bit of publicity for a company that reflects the business potential of China’s rising middle class.

America's Newly Reactivated 'Atlantic' Fleet Will Actually Operate on Russia's Northern Shores

 

“This truly is about great power competition and demonstrating it to the great powers that we can operate in waters nearby when and where we chose to do so." – Former Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work

 

As we said before the US Navy 2nd Fleet faces an impossible mission of countering Russian subs which are packing missiles with ranges of over 2,000km and therefore do not need to break into the open ocean to pose an effective threat

 

The boundaries of the Navy’s reestablished U.S. 2nd Fleet extends well past the old submarine stomping grounds of the Cold War and into waters north of Scandinavia and the Arctic Circle, near the submarine headquarters of Russia’s Northern Fleet, Chief of Naval Operations John Richardson said on Friday.

 

“A new 2nd Fleet increases our strategic flexibility to respond — from the Eastern Seaboard to the Barents Sea,” Richardson said. “Second Fleet will approach the North Atlantic as one continuous operational space, and conduct expeditionary fleet operations where and when needed.”
