Full title: California cops ‘frustrated’ with sanctuary laws stopping them from working with ICE over twice-deported criminal
A California sheriff whose officers were led on a wild chase earlier this week by a twice-deported illegal immigrant killer says cops are “very frustrated” with sanctuary state laws preventing them from working with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents.
The comments from Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux come following the death of Gustavo Garcia, a 36-year-old who police say embarked on a 'reign of terror' robbing a convenience store, shooting and killing a person and firing at buildings before crashing a truck that he had stolen. The day-long crime spree that began Sunday in the Fresno area also left five injured, including one critical, and Lindsay Police suspect Garcia was involved in an additional murder there.
During the chase Monday that ended in the crash that left Garcia dead, he drove the wrong way at speeds of up to 100 mph and hit four other cars – something that he appeared to have done on purpose, police said.
“We are very frustrated with the fact that the way the laws are set up currently that law enforcement hands are tied,” Boudreaux said Wednesday, noting that in years past, Garcia – who had been in police custody shortly before the rampage -- would have been handed over to ICE in cooperation with them.
The immigration agency says it placed a detainer on Garcia last week after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of being under the influence of a controlled substance. But Boudreaux said he had no choice but to let Garcia go since state law prohibits him from honoring that request unless ICE obtains an arrest warrant with the signature of a federal judge.

Let the lawsuits begin. Flood the zone with them.

I could easily see a hundred lawsuits starting up and within three years...at least a billion dollars paid out by the state or communities for damages. All it’ll do is speed up the bankruptcy of the state.
Why do we even need ICE, then?
California’s idiotic sanctuary law permitted this monster to seriously injure four more people in the crash.
In my opinion, it has reached the time for Yellow Vests to protest in Kalifornia, ya think?
Terminate with extreme prejudice!
The good news is that the perp is dead.
CA sure doesn’t want ICE, they want more illegal aliens.
Thank you Menehune56, I didn’t realize it was a bad link.
"YOU on stolen land, honky, dis eez Atzlan..! YOU da criminal..!"
You bet, there are still many good people in CA that are fed up with this sanctuary crap.
“Thank you Menehune56, I didn’t realize it was a bad link.”
Links that might work now on Free Republic or on my own documents might not work before the day ends or by ????.
We need a lot more federal immigration judges; I would suggest just about every regular on Freerepublic. Most of us would do it at least part time for free. As a judge, I would simply enforce the law: "Is this scumbag invader here legally? Nope, okay, deport him and permanently ban him from reentry."
The people of CA are fed up with Marxist Liberal crap period. People I’ve talked to say it was the voter fraud that put this latest batch of loons in office. Ballot Harvesting was only one means the RATs used to cheat.
Kalifornia is the voter fraud prototype for the rest of the country.
At some point I can understand if summary executions of repeat illegals start taking place in America.
If the left is going to embrace the breakdown of law and order then they will have to reap the whirlwind.
What else can we expect from them?
Small numbers of California 'elites' see the cops as people who get in the way of their 'fun', their drugs and how they treat their "servant class..."
Elites hate the law - the law stops them from being abusers...

Bump!
