Officer Stephanie Mohr…a forgotten victim of illegal immigration
By Immigration Reform Examiner Dave Gibson
Officer Stephanie Mohr and Valk
On the night of September 21, 1995, Prince George’s County Police Officer Stephanie Mohr was on patrol in Takoma Park, Maryland, when her and her partner Sgt. Anthony Delozier, got a call to provide backup to another officer who was responding to a burglary at a business.
When they arrived on the scene, two suspects, Ricardo Mendez and Herrera Cruz were exiting the roof of the business. Mendez and Cruz, both illegal aliens, were yelling back and forth to one another in Spanish.
The first responding officer told the two to face the wall. Mendez reportedly made a motion as if he was going to run. That’s when Mohr, a K-9 officer, released Valk, her German Shepherd.
Valk bit Mendez on the leg and held him while he was placed in handcuffs.
Both Mendez and Cruz were charged with 4th degree burglary. Cruz pled guilty and was deported back to Mexico. In addition to immigration violations, Mendez was convicted of selling crack cocaine and deported to El Salvador.
The incident was just another in a typically tough day for the Prince Georges police officer.
Then, five years later, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted Mohr for violating Ricardo Mendez’s civil rights.
The jury voted 11-1 to acquit Mohr, and the proceeding ended in a mistrial. However, the federal government tried her again, this time, even flying Mendez from El Salvador, and Cruz from a jail cell in Texas to testify against her.
In the second trial, the prosecution team painted Mohr as a racist, and this time they got a conviction. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating the civil rights of an illegal alien drug dealer.
In August 2002, Mohr was taken to prison, where she remains today. Her release date is November 27, 2011. At the time she began serving her sentence, her son, Adam, who she was raising on her own, was 4-years-old.
We are all familiar with the persecution of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, after they pursued and shot an illegal alien drug smuggler. The two spent two years in federal prison after the Justice Department prosecuted them.
Of course, there are many other officers who have been unfairly prosecuted for denying illegal aliens their ‘civil right,’ usually on the orders of the Mexican government. But few have heard the sad story of Stephanie Mohr.
