White House Warns ‘Sanctuary’ Policies Are Endangering American Lives

On Tuesday, the White House warned that “sanctuary” policies are endangering American lives in the areas that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

The administration specifically cited an incident in Prince George’s County, Maryland where an illegal immigrant was arrested and charged with murder, but was then released. This was in direct defiance against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) request for him to be detained.

Officials revealed that ICE eventually caught up with and detained the illegal immigrant and he will be deported to Guatemala.

The White House declared, “The negligence of leftist politicians is putting lives at risk.”

In 2019, Angela Alsobrooks was a Prince George’s County Executive, during which time she openly announced, “We are not participating in immigration enforcement.”

The executive turned U.S. Senator added, “That is the job of the federal government, but we wanted to give advice and counsel to the police department and the department of corrections on occasions where we would notify ICE.”

Newsmax reports:

Shortly after President Donald Trump began his second term, acting Prince George’s County Executive Tara Jackson told The Baltimore Banner that the policy remained essentially unchanged since Alsobrooks’ tenure.

“The Prince George’s County Police Department does not engage in federal immigration enforcement actions, such as deportation operations or raids, as this is the responsibility of federal agencies,” Jackson said. “Our focus is on ensuring public safety and building trust with all members of our community, regardless of their immigration status.”

Prince George’s County’s apparent commitment to sanctuary policies seems to extend to its representation at the state level.

State Del. Nicole Williams, a Democrat who represents Prince George’s County, introduced a bill in the state House earlier this year to ban ICE’s 287(g) program in Maryland, which allows corrections officers to identify and hold noncitizens for up to two days at ICE’s request.

“The 287(g) program is a mechanism through which certain communities are terrorized and creates a fear cooperation with law enforcement,” Williams said.

Clearly Americans are an afterthought in the mind of Democrats. They only seek to protect those coming into our country illegally.
