News from out west

Illegal alien Fernando Orozco-Trevizo, 32, is accused of attaching his girlfriend to a 20 foot chain in his bedroom and attaching the other end of the chain to a 6-cylinder engine block in the closet.

She had been left in that state daily for several days. She escaped when she wrote “call 911” in the condensation on the window and a neighbor followed her instructions.

Now, some of you are going to ask, “Why is Alien Rants taking license by calling him an illegal alien? He’s discriminating!”

I quote from two newspapers:
“He also had an immigration detainer put on him for aggravated re-entry into the United States. Orozco-Trevizo told police if he got deported again, ‘he will come back for the victim,’ according to jail records.” (Deseret Morning News)

“U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement became involved in the case after authorities discovered Orozco-Trevizo is an undocumented immigrant who was working construction jobs…” (Salt Lake Tribune)

In fairness to the defendant, here is his side of the story. “Orozco-Trevizo told authorities chaining his girlfriend was ‘just a game,’ but said he was concerned the woman was having an affair with a neighbor, according to the booking document.” (Salt Lake Tribune)

A warning to readers: Be careful who you play Monopoly with. Some people have a different idea of the word “game”.
