By analogy, can those injured by illegal aliens use this as precedent to sue sanctuary cities that haven’t cooperated with ICE, and instead returned criminals to the streets?
In one way I’m OK with this, but OTOH I can see that its also a potential extra burden on taxpayers.
The damages must come out of the hide of the bureaucrats that dropped the ball, not the taxpayers. If no bureaucrats are ever held responsible, why would they ever take measures to prevent these failures from happening again? Why would THEY care?
