Bill Ritter Kept Criminals From Being Deported 

Obscure plea bargain charge of trespassing on farmland used to avoid
deporting alien felons

ENGLEWOOD, CO - The Beauprez campaign today revealed shocking new evidence
that during his tenure as Denver District Attorney, Bill Ritter consistently
allowed both legal and illegal alien felons to avoid deportation and be
released back into communities—despite the fact that the law mandates
deportation. 

“Bill Ritter put alien felons back on the streets— criminals who should have
been deported,” said Bob Beauprez. “Coloradans deserve to know that Bill
Ritter ignored the law, plea bargained with alien felons, and purposefully
let criminals avoid deportation.”

Federal law mandates deportation for both legal and illegal aliens who have
committed felonies, such as assault, burglary, weapons violations, menacing
and drug crimes. Public records reveal that during his time as Denver
District Attorney, Ritter consistently utilized an obscure plea bargain
charge of trespassing on farmland in the City and County of Denver. As a
result, criminals who should have been deported were let go.

“It’s an absolute outrage that Bill Ritter would take a criminal alien who
committed a crime like assault in the first degree and plea bargain them
down to this absurd charge of trespassing on farmland in Denver. The fact
that Ritter would intentionally use a gross loophole to avoid enforcing the
law is proof positive that he ignored his obligation to protect
communities.”

A cursory review of public court documents provides irrefutable evidence
that felonies committed by legal and illegal aliens were systematically plea
bargained down to the non-deportable offense of trespassing on farmland.

“This could be just the tip of the iceberg,” said campaign manager John
Marshall. “It’s unclear how many deportable criminals have been released
back onto the streets because of Bill Ritter. We know of at least 192
felonies that were plea bargained to this non-deportable offense. But rest
assured that our investigation into this very serious problem will
continue.”

“As Governor, I will work with law enforcement to ensure we have the
resources necessary to enforce the law, not take the easy way out at the
expense of our safety,” concluded Beauprez.
