SebastianCounty Sheriff Frank Atkinson & the Constitution                         10/17/09

Times Recordedition Sat. Oct. 17, 2009:  Chief DeputyTom Young speaking for Sheriff Atkinson is quoted as saying, “Law enforcementofficers shall always remember that he/she has sworn to uphold the law, abideby the law and protection the rights of all people as afforded by theConstitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the stateof Arkansas.” 

Is that afact?

A Freedom ofInformation request was filed Oct. 17, 2007 regarding O.K. Foods, Inc. “picnic”at Ben Geren Park, Fort Smith, Arkansas, where an estimated 3,500-4,000Hispanics, mostly illegal aliens, were in attendance.

The FOIasked for the following:

1.      Correspondence between SheriffAtkinson & O.K. Foods, Inc. or Russ Bragg, or Collier Wenderoth.

2.      Any orders or directives to Sheriff’spersonnel with references to providing officers at the picnic Sept. 29, 2007

3.      Copies of documents showing financialarrangements or costs for providing officers at the picnic

4.      Copies of any correspondence betweenthe Sheriff’s office and the Sebastian County Judge’s office.

5.      There were other questions asked andcan be seen at arkansasfreedom.net

The Sheriff’soffice responded in 1 ½ sentences. “No records exist as requested in items 1-5in your letter.” “If I can be of any service to your (sic), please contact me”. Signed “Respectively, Tom Young, ChiefDeputy”.   How do they know who to pay orhow much if they don’t keep records, much less where and for what purpose theirvehicles were used? His answer can only be construed as a cover-up. I wouldpoint out to Young, regarding his response, that mine was not a letter but aFreedom of Information request. 

It turns outthat the county sheriff’s office from on-sight observances at the picnic hadnumerous and various types of county vehicles and onsite personnel.   Deputies were commandeering most of the parkfor the 3 day event.  Officers wereperforming traffic control on the highway leading into the park. It remainsunknown who cleaned up the park and who paid for it.  Additionally, there were a number of publicschool buses providing unknown services.

O.K. Foods,it was discovered, paid the miserly sum of $1,000 for the 3 day event at BenGeren Park.  A call to the SebastianCounty Judge regarding these illegal activities between the Sheriff’s officeand O.K. Foods produced no information. The Judge said he was not aware of the event, but this was not a onetimeevent as it turns out. This is a case for malfeasance & misfeasance—the illegalexaction of taxpayer dollars, utilizing taxpayer vehicles, taxpayer personnel,taxpayer facilities and commandeering a public use facility for the purpose of2 criminal operations—O.K. Foods’ hiring of illegals, the county Sheriff’soffice protecting the illegals, and of course the criminal illegals themselves.

Back toAtkinson, sworn oaths to the Constitution, and the rule of law.

The authority for Sheriffs and other local lawenforcement officers to detain and charge illegal aliens and those whofacilitate their continuing presence in the United States is contained inexisting law and constitutional authority.  It does not appear to dependon Executive order or orders of the Chief of Homeland Security.

THE LAW:

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act

Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

“Any person who . . . encouragesor induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . .. residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect towhom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . .imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”

(Everything we need to secure ourborders & sovereignty is contained in the rest of 8 USC)

The Sheriff hasALL the authority he needs for sweeps, arrests and actions in pursuit thereof. America is the object of invasion with an incremental agenda

………………………………..THE CONSTITUTION:

“RepelInvasions” Article I Section 8.15

“Protectfrom Invasion” Article IV Section 4
