Sanctuary Nation? Santa Clara County shows where we might be headed in tolerating illegal-immigrant crime.
CIty Journal ^ | December 22, 2020 | Dave Seminara

The powers that be in California’s Santa Clara County have forbidden contact sports—including San Francisco 49ers games, which will be held in Arizona—for the remainder of the season, due to rising Covid-19 cases. Such overreach in California’s sixth-largest county, justified by claims to enhance public safety, is ironic, given Santa Clara’s lax sanctuary policies, which have recently resulted in tragic deaths.

Last month, a thrice-deported illegal immigrant with a long history of violent crime stabbed five people, killing two, John Paulson, 45, and Kimberly Susan Fial, 55, at the Grace Baptist Church in San Jose. The suspect, Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia, has been in and out of prison, but Santa Clara County’s sanctuary policies prohibit any cooperation between local officials and federal immigration authorities. ICE has issued multiple requests for his detention, including one last summer, when he was sentenced to 327 days in prison for inflicting corporal injury on his spouse. Though Lopez-Garcia has a criminal record that also includes convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, battery of an officer, and vandalism, local officials were barred from letting ICE know when he was in custody.

This wasn’t the first time that the county’s sanctuary policy has cost lives. Last year, Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza, a previously deported gang member and illegal alien from El Salvador, beat and stabbed Bambi Larson to death in her home. Carranza had convictions for possession of methamphetamine, false imprisonment, and burglary at the time of the murder.

Releasing to the streets gang members eligible for deportation is nothing new in Santa Clara County.

We simply have criminal, democrat party government who is conspiring with other criminal elements to suppress law abiding citizens.

We must call a spade a spade.

Well, citizens will simply arm themselves and shoot these bashibazooks?

Bring it on.

Demographic warfare is morphing into actual civil warfare.

We know how this all ends, do we not?

Dis-civilization with body bags.

Of course the left is betting that Americans are so soft they will knucklle under. We’ll see.

Defund ICE, Defund police. Will Americans act to protect themselves?

Just look at the recent records of firearm sales.

Republicans better start running for these offices and making a case why a change is needed. The Left/Socualists did it and now it is time for conservative/patriots to step up and get the office back in good hands. Same goes for the education system.

They don’t even bother in my town but the party keeps asking for money. As soon as someone from NYC or LA gets here and completes the residency requirements they run for office.

Exactly why socialists have taken over. Conservatives seem to feel these jobs are beneath them, but we need an active effort to get people back in the education system and all local politics. Conservatives should view this as a sacrifice as one would make joining the military.

Spot on. Electing a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county gives you the legal and armed muscle to protect the community and families from leftists. And remember, the elected sheriff is not accountable to leftist mayors but to the citizens who elected him.
