In Memory of Deputy Raul V. Gama
EOW: May 1, 2007

On May 1, 2007, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Detective Raul Gama was working an undercover surveillance operation involving stolen cellular phones inside a parked van on Oxnard Street in North Hollywood as part of this operation. A teenage driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the parked van critically injuring Detective Gama. He was transported to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank where he succumbed to his injuries. He died the day after his 20-year anniversary as a member of the Sheriff’s Department.

At the time of the accident the young driver was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter. Subsequent tests revealed he had no impairment and no charges were filed against him.

Four years before Detective Gama’s tragic death, around noon on June 20, 2003, 31 Union Pacific railroad cars broke loose during a switching maneuver in Montclair and rolled some 27 miles into Los Angeles before railroad personnel managed to switch them onto a sidetrack in the City of Commerce causing 18 of the cars to derail. Some of these cars crashed into nearby homes. Detective Gama rescued a family trapped in the debris despite leaking natural gas and sparking from downed power lines. For this act of heroism, he received the Department’s Medal of Valor.

Detective Gama, 43, was survived by his wife, Sandra, and four children. His funeral was attended by over 3,000 mourners. A short time before his death he told his wife about his career, “If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I love what I do.”

Agents from the Nogales Border Patrol Station apprehended 13 illegal aliens attempting to cross illegally in the remote Sonoran Desert. Among them, one Mexican national was identified as having ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Our message is clear: If you cross illegally, you will be arrested, prosecuted, and deported. We remain committed to using every available resource to protect our nation’s borders.

Anyone going to claim these are whips this time around?

An activist Biden-appointed judge has ordered an illegal alien wanted for MURDER RELEASED from ICE custody.

Bryan Rafael Gomez is a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with an international warrant for homicide.

This is yet another example of an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our nation.

What is one thing you didn’t get to bring up during the debate that you’d like to say now?

After the CBS California Governor’s Debate all 8 candidates got exactly :90 seconds to mention anything they didn’t get to on stage.

Here’s what Chad Bianco had to say.

This has been an incredibly difficult week for our Chicago Police family. We are mourning the loss of Crittenden County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Coyle, who retired from CPD in 2019 after 28 years of service. He will be deeply missed both here in Chicago and in Crittenden County.
