13-year-old Schanna Gayden was shot and killed June 25, 2007 when illegal alien Mwenda Murithi, a native of Kenya who came here on a student visa in 1999 which was revoked more than 4 years ago, gave the orders to attack a rival gang. Since the revocation of his visa in 2003, Mwenda Murithi had been arrested 27 times according to Chicago police records.
He had been arrested 27 times
Let me repeat that...
He had been arrested 27 times
The death of Schanna Gayden can be laid straight at the feet of those politicians in Chicago who have turned it into a haven for illegal aliens and a sanctuary city. Then of course if federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had been doing their job and actually enforcing the law vigorously - instead of just looking for photo opportunities - assholes like Mwenda Murithi wouldn't be running around on our streets 4 years after being required to leave. You can thank the head of ICE Julie Myers and the head of DHS Michael Chertoff for ensuring that nothing gets done.
Now just multiply this times 600,000+ which is the amount of fugitive illegal aliens running around in our country that our federal government refuses to actually really do anything about except pay lip service too!
Chicago Tribune
Prosecutors allege that Mwenda Murithi was a leader in the Imperial Gangsters and on the evening of June 25 he gave the order to shoot at a rival gang, killing 13-year-old Schanna Gayden, an innocent bystander.
Murithi, 26, was charged with first-degree murder along with the alleged gunman, Tony Serrano, 19.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement records show he emigrated from Kenya on a student visa at the end of 1999 to study civil engineering at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville. That visa was valid as long as he continued his studies.
When he dropped out of U.W.-Platteville before the 2002-03 school year began, he was no longer legally in the United States. ICE ... formally terminated Murithi's visa Feb. 12, 2003, said Carl Rusnok, central-region spokesman for the immigration agency.
He became not just an uninvited guest in this country but a most unwelcome one: Chicago police records show Murithi was arrested 27 times from June 2003 until his arrest in connection with Schanna's slaying on a Northwest Side school playground.
The charges weren't horrible -- mostly possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, obstruction of traffic, drinking alcohol on a public way and other offenses commonly associated with the career of drug-dealing gang-bangers. Police said four of the charges were felonies; the Cook County state's attorney's office said Murithi had two misdemeanor convictions, one of which resulted in 30 days in jail this spring.
The fact is with 4 felonies and time in jail it should have been really easy to determine at some point that he was an illegal alien and not supposed to be in this country. The federal government cannot do this job alone. It needs mandatory requirements that local communities actively check the immigration status of all those arrested, just like it does their criminal backgrounds.
There is simply no excuse to allow this to continue and to watch little kids being shot, hit by drunk drivers, raped and murdered outright.
This is an outrage and it must stop!
