Here is the key segment of a story about illegal immigrants and so-called “sanctuary state” policy, from Michael E. Miller and Lynh Bui’s article for the Washington Post.
Please read it and see what you think:
The arrests of two teens accused of the MS-13 slaying of a 14-year-old girl rekindled a debate over sanctuary cities Wednesday as Immigration and Customs Enforcement forcefully criticized Maryland authorities for releasing the teens without notifying ICE after the conclusion of an unrelated case.
Josue Fuentes-Ponce, 16, of Bladensburg, Md., and Joel Escobar, 17, of Northeast Washington were arrested last week and charged as adults with another teen in connection with the April 18 death of Ariana Funes-Diaz, of Adelphi, Md.
ICE issued a news release Tuesday night saying it had asked the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections to detain Escobar and Fuentes-Ponce for ICE officials a year ago after their arrests in connection to a robbery case. On Wednesday, the agency sharpened its criticism over the handling of the retainers as it referred to the accusations in the Funes-Diaz case.
There was no reason for this girl to die,” said ICE spokeswoman Justine M. Whelan. “It’s hard to imagine that anyone would not be interested in ensuring that people like this are not on the streets, doing bad things, after demonstratively violent behavior.”
Maryland officials pushed back, however, arguing that holding the teens because of an ICE detainer — or request — would have violated state guidelines.
So we have three illegals (as the rest of the story makes clear), all involved in gang activity…with the two males beating, torturing and killing the female for nothing other than the possibility she might tell someone about their illegal activities.
And the only reason they were on the streets is a combination of our insane immigration laws – which House Democrats are blocking any action to fix – and “sanctuary” status – with no basis in federal law – which allowed the murderers to walk the streets.
All I ask is that you think about what happened here and think about what it tells you.
End of blog.
And how many thousands of times does it occur elsewhere in the country?
I would love someone to point to one dem policy that befits this country or its citizens in any way, I can’t help but think they are trying to weaken this country by fundamentally transforming us into a 3rd world country while making themselves wealthy.
