Illegal Protest

Wow there is actually a judge left who has some common sense and is not completely on the side of open borders globalists? Patriotic Americans everywhere should celebrate this victory! It shines a harsh light on those who sought to squelch the free speech and rights of the San Diego Minutemen as well as shows that their efforts to brand the SDMM as “racists” has failed miserably.. because.. well.. there is NO PROOF. You cannot just make claims like that without facts and proof and I hope SDMM takes Caltrans to the CLEANERS and then puts that money to good use in taking back this country for AMERICANS!

Caltrans officials are reviewing a federal judge’s decision ordering it to reinstate an Adopt-A-Highway permit for the San Diego Minutemen to conduct highway shoulder cleanups on Interstate 5 next to the Border Patrol’s San Clemente checkpoint.

Meanwhile, the anti-illegal immigration activists, who sued the transportation agency alleging free-speech discrimination in February over the removal of their Adopt-A-Highway sign and their reassignment to another location, are awaiting permission to schedule cleanups along the two-mile stretch of northbound I-5 it had adopted.

“We can’t do a cleanup unless we have a permit to encroach upon the freeway,” said Howard Kaloogian, the group’s attorney. “There has to be a permit issued and a sign acknowledging the permit.”

Caltrans has 30 days to restore the sign. Meanwhile, the activists are celebrating their court victory as they wait.

“We were hoping that the fight would be worth it,” said Jeff Schwilk, the group’s leader. “It really comes down to free speech. We’re thrilled.”

The San Diego Minutemen were granted the stretch of I-5 by Caltrans in November, after first applying for a spot on state Route 78, which was taken. After being assigned the spot by the immigration checkpoint – a coincidence, according to Caltrans – Schwilk sent out messages to members about their luck.

“How great is that?!” Schwilk wrote in one e-mail.

The proximity to the checkpoint was disturbing to local Latino groups and some state legislators, who criticized Caltrans for granting the permit. According to Caltrans guidelines, the program bars groups that advocate “discrimination based upon race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry,” among other things; the group has maintained that it does not discriminate.

Citing safety concerns that might arise if the group were targeted by opponents, Caltrans reassigned the activists to a stretch of state Route 52 near Santee, which they refused to take.

Yesterday, local critics of the San Diego Minutemen said they were disappointed by the ruling, which the judge issued last week.

“Although I understand it, we remain with the opinion that the Minuteman organization is using the Adopt-A-Highway program as a method of advertising their extremist agenda,” said Bill Flores, a retired San Diego County assistant sheriff who is now a spokesman for El Grupo, a North County coalition that includes local chapters of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the NAACP and others.

Hey idiot! What exactly is EXTREMIST about wanting our country to NOT BE INVADED BY FOREIGNERS WHO COME HERE ILLEGALLY? You want to see EXTREMIST take a nice look at the Reconquistas in Los Angeles and the racists politicians who are promoting the “Latino agenda” to the exclusion of ALL OTHER RACES EXCEPT LATINOS. That is what I call EXTREMIST.

Kaloogian said yesterday that while the group is pleased with the ruling, a preliminary injunction in the First Amendment case, it will pursue the lawsuit, which seeks monetary damages.
“The preliminary injunction having been issued is a very good sign for us,” he said.

Here is what I have to say about this. The most important point to realize here and to expose the blatant lies and finger pointing of the pro-illegals in this situation, is that CALTRANS WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE I-5 TO THE SDMM. They did not campaign for that stretch of highway. It was just a stroke of pure luck. So how in the WORLD can that be using that stretch of highway to further “their extremist agenda” WHEN IT WASN’T EVEN THEIR IDEA?????
