Why a Minnesota child’s family doesn’t want ICE to deport her murderer
MSN ^ | February 1, 2026 | Karen Tumulty

Posted on 02/01/2026 2:54:20 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

On April 20, 1999, the nation’s attention was fixed on a shooting massacre that occurred at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 students and one teacher. That same day, in the small southern Minnesota town of Waseca, another horror was unfolding: Jayme Larson, 16, returned home from school to find the body of her 12-year-old sister, Cally Jo, stabbed, sexually assaulted and left hanging in the stairwell of their bungalow.

It took police nearly a year to find the man who would be convicted. He turned out to be Lorenzo Bahena Sanchez, a Mexican citizen in the United States illegally who is now serving a life sentence in Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater. The soonest he could be released on parole is 2030. The review process will begin in early 2027, and Cally’s family has vowed to fight every step of the way.

Cally’s loved ones now have a new terror: Under the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement effort, Sanchez might be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, deported and sent elsewhere, perhaps to his native Mexico, where he might walk free.

Last week, Jayme’s husband, Chad, sent a frantic, anguished email to state officials, including Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minnesota Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell and his two U.S. senators. (The couple spoke to The Washington Post on the condition that neither their last name nor their location be used.)

Isn’t there a better way to resolve this? I can think of several off the top of my head.

Mine involves a lawn chair, duct tape and a Louisville Slugger.

That poor family very likely doesn’t know any better, but they should leave Atty Gen. Keith Ellison out of it.
He is much more likely to send this man to anyplace where he won’t be imprisoned and is free to repeat his horrible crime.

If and when he actually is released from prison he will not be deported until then.

Article is fear porn.

They are obviously mistaken.
Another case of TDS or media created misinformation.

Trump admin. never asked anybody to release prisoners to be deported!
ICE only asks for prisoners who are being released, after finishing their terms, to be turned to ICE, and then deported.
Jailed criminals will serve all their terms! No early release!

So in this case, in 2030, if this crook would be set free, it should be turned to ICE.
But Ellison wants him to be released secretly, so ICE would have to hunt for him somewhere!

Media is soo skilled to turn things upside down!

To make the secrecy more effective, the Washington Post has agreed to camouflage the remaining 93,000 print copies sold including at stores and street boxes and disguise the falling digital footprint, so the bad guys won't find the informants. 5 years ago it sold 250,000 print copies a day on average. /S

You wouldn’t care to share to several better ways?

Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to simply do the civilized thing and hang the SOB?

Karen Tumulty opens a new front in the Treason Media was against Trump.

Note that Tumulty never mentions that a quick necktie party would take care of the problem.

They need to serve their time and then deported.

One search engine click did it for me, but I wanted to beat your time so I worded the query carefully. 🤡

The opinion of the Minnesota Supreme Court and the briefs of the attorneys before the court are available in the Law Library. The death penalty was abolished by the legislature in 1911 (Chapter 387, Laws of Minnesota).

Lyin Media maven Karen Tumulty fails to mention that while she’s crafting her propaganda piece.

You are correct, and the family has been misinformed it appeas. The cooperation that ICE seeks, is to hold them until ICE picks them, instead of being released back into the public in the U.S. when they reach the end of their sentence or they are placed on parole.

“Frantic” four years before the earliest possible release. Yes I think that counts as fear porn
