Abel Moreno of Charlotte, North Carolina, called 911 to report that a police officer allegedly groped his girlfriend during a routine traffic stop and now faces possible deportation to Mexico. This story is so fucked up, we need bullet points.

Officer Marcus Jackson, 26, stopped Abel Moreno and his girlfriend in traffic and allegedly groped the young woman.
When Moreno called 911 to report Jackson, Jackson told him to drop the call.
Jackson then arrested Moreno and his girlfriend for resisting arrest.
Five other women came forward to allege that Jackson had tried to molest them, too.
Moreno was released after investigators debunked the resisting arrest charge.
Moreno's girlfriend was also released.
Jackson was fired and faces 11 counts of sexual battery, extortion and interfering with emergency communication.
Police Chief Rodney Monroe admitted that Jackson should never have been hired because of previous charges related to a restraining order filed by an ex-girlfriend.
The local 911 system is under review because Moreno’s call wasn’t acted upon.
While he was still in jail, Moreno was found to have been in the United States illegally for the past six years, working at a restaurant.
Mecklenburg County, where Moreno was jailed, is authorized under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, to enforce federal immigration laws during the course of their normal duties.
Abel Moreno now has a six-month deadline to show why he shouldn’t be deported
Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which empowered law enforcement officers in the case, is meant to identify “foreign-born criminals and immigration violators who pose a threat to national security or public safety.”
Moreno was working at a restaurant to send money back to his mother and five siblings in Acapulco.

This sort of thing is hardly unheard of. Deputy Jonathan Bleiweiss of the Broward County Sheriff’s Department in Oakland Park, Florida was indicted last year for molesting male immigrants during routine traffic stops and stalking them via their cell phones, pressuring them to have sex with him lest he have them deported. Moreno's lawyer is confident that he will get a visa that allows illegal immigrants who are victims or witnesses in criminal investigations to stay in the country for up to four years, for now he is in limbo. Only 10, 000 people a year get those and the system is bureaucratic and slow.

Hopefully he will get it. He was right to report that corrupt police officer. Countless women are now safer because he had the courage to stand up for himself and his girlfriend.

So, he came here and worked illegally for years? How is that OK? Yes, he did the right thing to call the police. That does not make him a hero. He is here illegally and the truth is, we have laws in America. Just because you get by with it due to our useless government, does not make it right. Go home to Mexico and make something of yourself there.

He is in violation of the selective service law.

So what about the folks who hired him? Why is he being deported? And why isn't the police officer - the one who assaulted someone - being charged? Assault is way worse!

Anyone want to know the real truth about this guy? Yes what he did for her that night was a good thing but maybe the only good thing this guy has done. The reason he was in jail the last time was for a DUI, he was drinking and crashed his truck into a tree. Its a blessing that he did not kill anyone. This guy is not the girls boyfriend, he was a friend of hers until she told him she did not want him as a boyfriend but only as a friend, then he started stalking her. When she did find someone she was interested in he got violent and the stalking got worse, threatening text messages photos of him holding a gun and saying that if he saw them together he would kill them. He did see them together and he did try to kill them, they were driving down the hi-way and he tried to run them off the road totaling the car they were in. Then when that didn't work he cut the brake lines on her friends truck and poured sugar and other things in the gas tank, lucky for her friend the damage was noticed before he drove away, needless to say that truck was totaled as well. The police would not do anything to him even thought he was seen on security tape doing these things due to the fact they were scared because of the lawsuit he was filing against them for the above story. He finally went to jail for the DUI, the said girlfriend said that she finally felt safe with him in jail, she could drive home and not worry about him following her, she could finally sleep at night knowing that he could not hurt her. Now he is out of jail and has his papers to be legal here in the US so where is he now? He is back in Charlotte harassing them again. Is this really a person you want as a citizen in this country? Is this country now better off with him being a citizen here? It is nice how stories like this are published and none of the facts are actually looked into, just one persons "story" of what has happened. So here's to our great government for letting someone like this stay in this country so the can harass the real citizens, the ones who came here legally or where born her. Do you still think he should not be deported?
