Actually the biggest offense is "Particularly when there are placement goals …". That means quotas and that is where DEI fails. In theory "due consideration" is not offensive. Everyone deserves consideration. But when the candidate isn't hired because of due consideration but because they allow the employer to meet their DEI goals by hiring less competent individuals that is not only offensive it is illegal.

Gee, $20,000 bail after beating the phuck out of the mother of his children at least twice and violating the restraining order to stop beating the phuck out of her. Only $2,000 up front for bail and the woman pleading for protection which wasn't forthcoming. Nothing says "protect women" like a dem who then claim that they really care. Diversity is our strength. Geezus.
A man who stabbed and then strangled the life from the mother of his children while out on bail paid by a Portland police abolition group has been sentenced to life in prison.
Mohamed Adan will be eligible for parole in 25 years following his plea and sentencing Tuesday for the second-degree murder of 36-year-old Racheal Abraham in 2022.
Abraham — who shared two children with Adan — had previously begged a Multnomah County judge not to release Adan in a case charging him with domestic violence.
“Statistics show that strangulation cases lead to homicide,” she said in a statement, read aloud in court nine weeks before her death. “I don’t want to be a victim.”
Prosecutors said the pattern of escalating violence began in early May 2022, when Abraham reported that Adan had punched her twice in the head while high on methamphetamine and cocaine, according to a probable cause affidavit.
He fled the scene and wasn’t arrested that day, but Abraham was granted a restraining order.
It offered no protection, and Adan was arrested June 23 after punching and strangling her while muttering: “I should kill you.”
Five days later, Judge Benjamin Johnston granted Adan’s release but ordered him to wear a GPS monitor. Adan returned to Abraham’s Southeast 92nd Avenue townhouse and cut off the anklet. He was re-arrested Aug. 11 for beating Abraham with prayer beads.
Judge Jerry Hodson on Aug. 19 denied a defense motion to lower Adan’s bail. Activists with the Portland Freedom Fund paid the standard 10% of his bail required by law, or $2,000 of $20,000 total, a day later.
On Aug. 27, Adan again disabled a GPS tracker and entered the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood home. He killed her while three of her children were inside the apartment.
During Tuesday’s hearing, senior prosecutor Melissa Marrero slammed the now-defunct activist group, known as the Portland Freedom Fund.
“The Portland Freedom Fund, thinking it knew better than law enforcement professionals, decided to bail him out,” she said. “It cost her her life.”
Multnomah County senior prosecutor Melissa Marrero appears in court on Tues.
Abraham was found with knife wounds to her hands and arms and a deep slash that cut her nose and lips in half, according to a court documents. She had six young children, including the two with Adan, and went by the first name Jamila.
Yasmin Elmi said in a letter to the court that she had met Abraham at 14 and became a sister in her chosen family.
She recalled Abraham’s artistic side, with a talent for henna, but said her first priority was always to her children.
“Jamila deserves to be remembered for how she lived — with love, creativity, strength and unwavering compassion for her children and those she called family,” the statement said.
Defense attorney Gregory Scholl noted that Adan had cooperated when his parental rights were terminated in civil proceedings and had remained on the scene the day of the killing.
He was born in Somalia and fled its violent civil war as a refugee, first to Kenya and then Texas and Portland.
Adan, now 36, apologized before the plea deal punishment was imposed.
“I wish I could bring her back, even taking my own life if I had to,” he said. “I pray for her every day.”
Prosecutors have filed a motion seeking to force the Portland Freedom Fund’s founder, Amanda L. Trujillo, to pay the remaining $18,000 in bail. Scholl did not oppose the motion.
Trujillo was regularly making bail payments to people soon after they had been arrested and held at the downtown jail in 2021 and 2022, but stopped after the killing.
The activist has previously said the fund believed Adan was a breadwinner and had spoken with him prior to release and “did not receive any indications for concern.”
