10/15/2017 Jesus Fabian Gonzales Arrested Suspicion Wine Country Fires Arson Homeless illegal immigrant Jesus Fabian Gonzalez was arrested by Three Sonoma County Probation officers patrolling the area because of ongoing deadly fires saw a man at 3:00 p.m.walking out of the creek area and a plume of smoke behind him wearing a trench coat, was carrying a lighter and fire extinguisher. After they asked if he started the fire, he admitted he started the fire because it was cold though it was "to keep warm" near a bridge in Maxwell Farms Park Sonoma County. He is Sonoma County jail on arson charge and a misdemeanor drug warrant from Ventura County. Immigration authorities asked to detain him for deportation but Sheriff Rob Giordano refused citing cases where administrative detainers are unconstitutional. ICE complained of Sonoma County's repeated releases of dangerous criminal aliens compained it had sought to detain Gonzales four times in the last year and found it "troubling in light of the massive wildfires devastating the region". The cause of the wildfires, which are still burning across multiple counties, is still under investigation but InfoWars and Breitbart falsely connected the arrest to the massive deadly fires which killed 41, but there was no evidence he had started those fire (other than he had a habit of setting many fires before so it's obvious he could have) Giordano said (also incorrrectly) "There’s no indication he’s related to these fires at all" though it is entirely possible and likely somebody like him set a fire this way to make it look like an innocent accident in a clandestine act of domestic terrorism.

According to FactCheck‘s headline, there have been “No Arrests for California Wildfire.” The watchdog claims, “Jesus Fabian Gonzalez was arrested for setting a small fire near the bridge where he had been living in Sonoma County on Oct. 15, a week after the major fires began. He is charged with one felony count of arson, Sgt. Spencer Crum told FactCheck.org. ‘He was charged with arson, but not for all the fires that have caused devastation over the last 10 days,’ Crum said. It was a small fire that was put out within minutes by the local fire department, he said.”
So, an illegal alien was arrested for starting a fire within days of the massive California wildfires, but we’re all just supposed to look the other way and never even consider the possibility that he might have had something to do with the larger blaze which killed 42 legal residents?
FactCheck claims there have been no arrests in connection to the California wildfires and then, in the next breath, states that “Jesus Fabian Gonzalez was arrested for setting a small fire.” What the heck? Gonzalez has not been charged with setting the massive blaze which burned a staggering 245,000 acres, but is it so inconceivable that he couldn’t be as authorities continue to conduct their investigation?

Those fires left 42 dead, and thousands of structures in ashes. Incredibly, however, in the midst of this inferno, Sonoma County (wherein 23 died) released an alien charged with "maliciously setting fire to a property", instead of handing him over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Sonoma County's "current restrictions ... about cooperation with federal immigration agents" were described by the (Santa Rosa) Press Democrat earlier this month, when it reported: Since mid-August, when Sheriff Rob Giordano implemented the new policy at the county jail, officials only respond to federal notification requests on inmate releases in cases where inmates have been convicted of serious and violent crimes outlined by the state Trust Act. The 2013 law prevented county jails from detaining inmates for additional time past their release date at the request of [ICE] agents. (Emphasis added).

Jesus FabianGonzalez was arrested Sunday, a week after numerous firestorms broke out across the region, on felony arson charges.
“ICE attacked the sheriff’s office in the midst of the largest natural disaster this county has ever experienced,” Giordano said. “Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, many people have lost their homes, and 23 people have died in this firestorm.” “Despite ICE’s misleading statement, we will continue to protect and serve our community members with the strength and compassion they deserve,” he continued. “I hope to end this senseless public confrontation with these facts so that I may focus on the fire recovery.”
follow-up statement, Homan maintained that the sheriff’s office did not contact ICE when Gonzalez was released from jail. “As the sheriff’s office knows, there is currently no legal barrier that restricts their ability to simply call ICE to provide notice of the release of a criminal alien such as Gonzalez, which they failed to do following his previous multiple arrests on felony and misdemeanor charges,” Homan said. “Doing so would have allowed ICE to remove a public safety threat from the community and prevented the diversion of limited resources to an avoidable crime when they should be focused on fire recovery.”

Statement from ICE Acting Director on Sonoma County's repeated releases of dangerous criminal alien
“Once again, a non-cooperative jurisdiction has left their community vulnerable to dangerous individuals and preventable crimes. ICE lodged a detainer against Jesus Gonzalez with Sonoma County jail officials on October 16, following his arrest on felony charges for maliciously setting fire to a property. This is especially troubling in light of the massive wildfires already devastating the region. Over the past year, ICE has lodged detainers against Mr. Gonzalez after four separate arrests by Sonoma County on various felony and misdemeanor charges. ICE was never notified of Mr. Gonzalez’ various releases. Additionally, Mr. Gonzales has been returned to his home country of Mexico on two separate occasions. The residents of Sonoma County, and the state of California, deserve better than policies that expose them to avoidable dangers. Non-cooperation policies – now enshrined in California state law – ensure only one thing: criminals who would otherwise be deported will be released and left free to reoffend as they please.”
