Sudanese refugee pleads guilty in 2015 murder
of teen, by Ann Corcoran on March 5, 2017
This is a diversity is
beautiful alert! A variety of migrants had a shoot-out in Portland, ME in
2015 and the result was that one young man (believed not to have known the
shooters) died.
Before I give you the story (thanks to reader Frank), you must know
that anyone granted asylum, as was the case with this Sudanese killer, is then
considered a refugee and all of the protections, and welfare goodies that
refugees we flew in on your dime receive, are also available to the successful
asylum seeker.
To have been granted asylum, Majok
arrived in the US on his own and convinced federal authorities that he would be
persecuted if returned to Africa. (#ThisIsARefugee)
When you read through stories about
him, see
here for example, you see that he
had several run-ins with law enforcement over the years. I would like to
know in what year he was granted asylum (before
or after his criminal activities began?). (Reminder: Sudan is one of 7 countries on
Trump’s earlier ‘travel ban’ EO.)
From the Portland Press Herald: Gang Deng Majok pleaded guilty to murder Friday in the shooting death
of Treyjon Arsenault, the 19-year-old Westbrook High School graduate who was
gunned down inside a Portland recording studio on Memorial Day weekend in 2015.
Majok, who was sentenced to 30 years
by Justice Andrew M. Horton, agreed to change his plea rather than risk a
trial. Arsenault’s mother, Nancy Laxson of
Scarborough, said she struggled with the decision to pursue the plea agreement,
but is now relieved to see the sentencing completed before Sunday, which would
have been Arsenault’s 21st birthday.
Laxson also was critical of authorities for not deporting Majok, a
Sudanese national who had been granted asylum and had pleaded guilty to a
string of misdemeanors. It was not immediately clear whether
someone with asylum status could be deported after being convicted of a
misdemeanor. Majok will be subject to deportation after he completes his
sentence for Arsenault’s murder.
According to authorities, Majok and one of Majok’s associates, Johnny
Ouch of Westbrook, got into an argument with Mohamed Ali, a longtime rival of
Ouch. [Was
Mohamed a Somali?—ed] The argument escalated and Majok and Ouch
started shooting, according to Ouch’s attorney.
Many more details here. We have a huge archive on Maine, click here. BTW, Maine attracts a lot of
asylum seekers due to the structure of its welfare program. The Gov was trying
to change that awhile back, but not sure if he did.
