SCENES FROM A SANCTUARY STATE: More than 1,500 aliens with ICE detainers released from the Orange County Jail in 2019, many re-offended. “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Acting Director Matthew T. Albence has repeatedly expressed concerns about how state or local policies limiting cooperation with ICE can lead to more crime. According to data recently released from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, in the two years since the implementation of California’s State Bill 54 (SB54), the sheriff’s department has rearrested more than 400 of those they released on whom ICE had active detainers. The aliens who were rearrested include those with charges including: rape, assault with a deadly weapon, child sex offenses, domestic violence, identify theft, and driving under the influence.”

Government’s job is to make the right people feel good, not to keep everyone else safe from rapists who shouldn’t even be in the country.
