The Trump administration is finally fighting back against dangerous sanctuary city policies that put Americans at risk. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent strong letters to liberal mayors and governors demanding they follow federal immigration law. She gave them until Tuesday to comply or face serious consequences.
These sanctuary policies protect criminal aliens who should be deported immediately. Instead of working with federal agents, Democrat-run cities refuse to hand over dangerous criminals. This puts every American family in danger from people who should never be here in the first place.
Chad Wolf knows this problem well from his time as acting DHS Secretary. He ran successful operations that caught over 125 criminal aliens in California alone. Most of these criminals had been arrested before but were released by local Democrats who care more about politics than public safety.
The recent Florida crash that killed three innocent Americans shows exactly why sanctuary policies are so deadly. An illegal alien who never should have gotten a driver’s license caused this tragedy. Those three Americans would still be alive if our immigration laws were enforced properly.
Democrat politicians claim these policies are compassionate, but there is nothing compassionate about protecting criminals. Real compassion means protecting American citizens from violent criminals who rape, murder, and destroy families. These liberal policies shield the worst criminals while innocent Americans pay the price with their lives.
ICE agents are ready to do their job and remove dangerous criminals from our communities. They just need local law enforcement to make a simple phone call when they arrest an illegal alien. But Democrat mayors and governors refuse even this basic cooperation because they hate Trump more than they love America.
Pam Bondi is not backing down from this fight, and neither should any patriotic American. She warned these sanctuary jurisdictions that the federal government will come after them if they keep protecting criminals. It is time to choose between protecting Americans or protecting illegal aliens.
Every American community deserves safety from criminal aliens who have no right to be in our country. Sanctuary cities make us all less safe by putting politics before the lives of hardworking American families. President Trump and his team are finally putting America first again.
