ANDREW ARTHUR--NY POST--A LACK OF COOPERATION WITH ICE TO DEPORT AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RESULTED IN A FAMILY TRAGEDY

Why would the New York City Department of Correction refuse to honor a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer for an illegal Mexican national facing murder and arson charges in Queens?

The same perverted sense of “equity” that drove the Biden administration to open the border to millions of illegal migrants.

On April 9, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Roman Amatitla would be charged with arson and eight counts of second-degree murder for allegedly setting a fire that killed four in a Flushing apartment building, including a 3-year-old girl.

Katz called it as “an act of mass murder,” and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) subsequently revealed.....more atA lack of cooperation with ICE to deport an illegal immigrant resulted in a family tragedy

5/9 WELCOMING RECEPTION ARTIST IN RESIDENCE TIM ROBINSON--CROTON RIVER ARTISANS GALLERY

Join the Gallery in welcoming Tim Robinson to our gallery as our newest Artist in Residence. We will have a welcoming reception this Saturday, May 9, 3-5pm. Stop by to meet the artist and enjoy some light refreshments. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE.)

Artist in Residence, Tim Robinson:

Starting as a successful editorial illustrator from 1990 through the 2020’s, Tim has recently returned, more and more, to the joy of pure painting. His oils of the surrounding landscape and woodlands, and the hills and wildlife nearby, are widely collected both locally and regionally. Tim has progressively taken more liberty with color and form as he depicts scenes in our local wilderness, trying to paint the woods as we remember them, rather than obsessing about the literal. These paintings are meant to convey the peace and beauty of the woods, the local landscape, and the wildlife as it reveals to us (just visitors) what will continue, as always, when we are gone. These are efforts to paint the land as it is, without us.

WE LOVE RUGBY

About 50 unruly youths barreled through a locked side door of the Church of Scientology of New York — which sits just off Times Square on West 46th Street — at around 4:24 p.m., damaging the premises while worshipers and visitors were attending a seminar, according to cops, police sources and the church.
