Previously Deported Criminal Illegal Alien Shoots 3 D.C. Police Officers Serving Warrant For Animal Cruelty
[WIRE] A man arrested in Washington, D.C., two weeks ago for allegedly shooting multiple police officers who were responding to a call at his residence is a previously deported criminal illegal alien.

Stephen Claude Rattigan, 48, opened fire on officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on Valentine’s Day when they served an outstanding arrest warrant at his home related to a 2023 incident involving animal cruelty. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says that he "was captured by a security camera beating one of his dogs several times in the face."

Rattigan, also known as Julius James, is a Jamaican national who has a criminal history dating back to 1995, including larceny and drug charges, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told The Daily Wire.

Rattigan allegedly shot three police officers at his home and then barricaded himself inside the residence for more than 12 hours. After he was arrested, 31 dogs were removed from his residence.

Federal prosecutors charged Rattigan with assault with intent to kill while armed, assault on a police officer while armed, and possession of a firearm during a crime.
At least he wasn't parading inside the Capitol on Jan 6th!
ICE has lodged a detainer request against Rattigan to have him transferred into their custody "once his time is served" so he can be once again deported.

Rattigan was deported from the U.S. in 2001 but later illegally re-entered the country at an unknown date and unknown location.

Reporter Julio Rosas was the first to report that Rattigan was an illegal alien. # id) ?>

We need to bring back the old status of Outlaw. Such people to have no standing in the legal system.

13 it putting the blame on her for getting murdered by an illegal

That’s not what the title of the tweeted link says about Laken Riley at all, nor does the article. Woozle Glamp3497 is just taking another opportunity to display that he is a stupid Jew-hater, just barely able to copy and paste.
