Sanctuary Policies Shield Convicted Criminals From Feds

The number of illegal immigrants handed over to authorities nationwide is less than 3 percent of what it was six years ago, thanks to a suite of sanctuary policies at the local level combined with a hands-off approach at the federal level in recent years.

The New York and Los Angeles metro areas are the most popular destinations for illegal immigrants in the country. New York City has an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants, according to the mayor’s office.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has vowed to oppose President Donald Trump’s executive order that promises to ramp up interior security and penalize jurisdictions that “willfully violate federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal.”

De Blasio said New York City already cooperates with federal agencies when necessary. The city says it shares information with the feds if an illegal immigrant commits any of 170 crimes listed, including assault, rape, arson, terrorism, and firearms and drug offenses.

De Blasio lies as usual, but the Epoch Times coverage is surprisingly better than MSM Fake News.

Under President Barack Obama’s immigration priorities, enforcement priorities remained mostly unchanged from previous years and were stated as “threats to national security, border security, and public safety,” in a November 2014 memo by then-Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

Here the Times falls down on the job, writing to exonerate Obama.

It's not the publicly stated policy that arrests, detains, and prosecutes Criminal Immigrants, it's instructing enforcement personnel to do so, supporting them fully when they do so. This has never been done under Obama and Prog Rats.

Illegals, muslims, and others here illegally or as phony refugees, move now while you can.

If you self deport you may be allowed back into the USA, but if you are deported you have no hope of ever coming back, NONE.

If what your hero barak hussien obama did causes a civil war, you are toast, you have no chance of surviving a US civil war, NONE.

Don’t be fooled by fake news, catholic charities, or lying liberal scum in political office.

Pack and move now.

They have only fooled their own,

and The 3% and TerminalMarines who are not now part of a Militia.

All Trump has to do is stop all commercial travel for one day... A day without movement or commerence and these cities will crumble to their collectivist knees.

Start criminally charging officials who refuse to cooperate with harboring illegal aliens.
