Denmark is now officially a shithole country. As if we didn't already know. Unfortunately it usually takes an major felony like this for President Trump to deport an illegal alien.

The Spring Fire in Costilla County is raging out of control, and so is the controversy over the arrest of a man believed to have started it. Turns out that 52-year-old Jesper Joergensen is an undocumented immigrant, albeit one from a nation, Denmark, that President Donald Trump has thus far avoided describing as a shithole country (http://www.westword.com/news/donald-trump-shithole-quote-and-tv-stations-in-denver-and-beyond-that-used-it-9877307).
At 2:55 p.m. yesterday, July 1, the Costilla County Sheriff's Office announced that Joergensen had been busted without incident by CCSO deputies following an investigation that included assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the Colorado State Patrol, state arson investigations and "Immigration and Customs agents."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly (http://www.koaa.com/story/38548509/immigration-detainer-placed-on-arson-suspect-in-connection-to-spring-fire)placed a detainer hold on Joergensen.
Like the 416 Fire near Durango (http://www.westword.com/news/colorado-drought-and-416-fire-june-2018-10412776) before it, the Spring Fire, which started on June 27 five miles east of Fort Garland, is one of the country's worst wildfires.
The most recent update shared on the federal Inciweb page (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5875), time-stamped at 8:08 p.m. last night, notes that the blaze is 0 percent contained and has consumed 41,292 acres, with what's described as 3,156 acres of growth since the previous measurement.
