It’s beyond question that sanctuary state/city policies have hindered the ability of federal immigration enforcement officials to do their jobs. Too many criminal illegal aliens are still being released back onto the streets because ICE isn’t informed and given enough time to pick them up. But all the news isn’t bad. As it turns out, in many cities and counties with these so-called sanctuary laws in place, the local cops have continued working with ICE in more “unofficial” ways, maintaining long-standing personal relationships and using those connections to get the job done. And there are plenty of Democrats that are simply furious over this. (Associated Press)
Two years after New Mexicos largest county barred local law enforcement from cooperating with immigration authorities, its leaders learned that the policy was being subverted from within.
Staff members at the Bernalillo County jail in Albuquerque were still granting immigration authorities access to its database and, in some cases, tipping them off when a person of interest was being released.
I was surprised and horrified, said Maggie Hart Stebbins, chairwoman of the Bernalillo County Commission. Individual employees do not have the freedom to pick and choose what they want to observe.
There’s an interesting response for you. The Chair of New Mexico’s Bernalillo County Commission was (direct quote) “surprised and horrified” to find that known criminal illegal aliens were, in at least some cases, being taken into custody for processing, prosecution, and possible deportation. This is apparently what passes for “a bad thing” in some Democratic circles.
It’s not limited to just New Mexico, thankfully. The report goes on to state that the same practice has been observed in places including Philadelphia, Chicago and multiple communities across California. Are we surprised? These are real human beings we’re talking about here, not just dry policy points on county resolutions. Some of these law enforcement officers have been on the job for decades and have built relationships with their colleagues across the local, state and federal levels. They’re all interested in the same things… enforcing the law and keeping people safe. Is it really all that shocking to find that they stay in touch in their free time and even help each other out?
We could certainly use more of this. If there had been some cooperation in the San Jose case of Carlos Eduardo Arevalo, 59-year-old Bambi Larson might still be alive today. After being deported, Arevalo was arrested at least an additional ten times before murdering Larson. In a half dozen of those cases, ICE had specifically asked that he be detained so they could pick him up. Yet, each time, nobody informed ICE in a timely fashion so they could try to send him back home.
But who is going to be punished for all of this activity? The cops. Not the criminal illegal aliens. These local government officials would rather go after their own police in the interest of scoring political points. The world has turned upside down and our law enforcement officers increasingly find themselves with nobody in the government willing to back them up.

Apparently the pure irony of their position is lost upon the left.

The Dems willingness to betray their oath and betray all Americans to gain power and a replacement underclass, will be on display for the coming elections.
It is madness, it is treason, it is despicable.

Note to ICE: Maybe you should just go get the bastard, since you KNOW they are NOT going to notify you. Perhaps you might want to just go get the warrant that forces the local a$$hole cops to comply with Federal Law. I’m all done with hearing that you were, for some inexplicable reason, “ late to the train” in doing your jobs.

LOL Kind of like picking and choosing what laws to "have sanctuary" from, these employees are undocumented workplace-rule-violators. In this environment of choosing sanctuary at a whim, these employees are choosing sanctuary from an employer mandate.
I think it's funny as hell AND helpful.

In Oregon three is a bill to prohibit asking an alleged criminal their immigration status until the conviction process is completed. It's up for a hearing in a couple days, and it will pass.
HB 2932 Prohibits court from inquiring into defendant's immigration status or requiring defendant to disclose defendant's immigration status at time of plea or at any other time during criminal proceeding.

What amazes me is the lack of retaliation of the citizenry against this traitors. You’d think at least one family member of a murdered citizen would have gone after a policymaker by now.

Everybody has that freedom. They may not have a right to do so, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t free to do so if they so choose. Of course there may be consequences.

There’s a funeral for a Silicon Valley woman killed in her home by one of the border hoppers.. even the local Chief of Police had to hold back a choke or two when he spoke for the camera re: the arrest of the perp, a many times caught and released sheltered criminal.. a known criminal ‘invader’ who traveled our streets without question.
The sad thing, the cities and county here don’t care .. what they fail to see is it could happen to them at any time. They are classic liberal ‘can do now wrong’ idiots running things..
Do you feeel more secure knowing this one got caught.. again?
OH, PS, we have no Death Penalty anymore for criminals, , only for citizens.
Thanks Gubby.

All it takes is a couple of good cops with burner phones and the right contacts at ICE. I support this completely.
Now if I only they would do this with felons carrying firearms and the ATF.
