One of the nation’s most influential sheriffs on illegal immigration warned Monday that immigrants freed by judges concerned about the coronavirus spreading in jails will disappear after the crisis is over.

“The question many people ask is, ‘Are they going to turn themselves in after the COVID-19 incident is over?'” said Bristol County, Massachusetts, Sheriff Thomas Hodgson.

“And the answer is, no, of course not,” he said.

A local judge has ordered Hodgson to release dozens of illegal immigrant inmates he had been holding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He told a Center for Immigration Studies Zoom panel that most were awaiting deportation.

“Ironically, of my 850 detainees/inmates, we have had no COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began, and this judge is releasing these detainees under a 'humanitarian' claim. I can think of nothing more inhumane than letting dangerous people wander around our neighborhoods, based on a claim that maybe, just maybe, they could contract COVID-19 in the detention center,” he said.

Hodgson, who has played a key role in organizing sheriffs on immigration policy, added that the judge has put no constraints on those released, such as to wear a tracking bracelet. And, he said, most have criminal histories.

Judges not following the law. Huh.

The judge found an excuse to aid illegals. He must be a Democrat.

They may disappear, but like the Invisible Man, they will leave fingerprints on crime scenes everywhere.

So we as citizens are supposed to stay at home but these illegals get to roam?
