Sanctuary Cities Release 1000 Criminals Per Month


The idea of a sanctuary city is one that not many people seem to be aware of. However, they’re more common than you might think and make up some of the country’s most populated cities. As of this year, over 150 cities in the United States have been labeled as sanctuary cities, including Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Chicago and New York. California alone makes up over 30 of the cities on the list.

The majority of criminal aliens released by sanctuary cities in the timeframe studied have remained on the streets. The CIS report reveals that as of last year 69 percent were still at large, and of those still on the streets about 20 percent were arrested again.

“Our elected officials must not continue to sit back and watch these sanctuary jurisdictions release thousands and thousands of deportable criminal aliens back into our communities in defiance of ICE efforts to deport them, and then witness the harm that inevitably ensues when these removable offenders strike again,” Vaughan said Thursday.

“There is no more obvious immigration issue on which Congress could act now than to rein in this obstruction of a vital law enforcement mission that keeps our communities safer,” she added.

The issue of sanctuary cities became front page news in July with the murder of Kathryn Steinle, allegedly by a multiple deportee illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet. Local authorities in the sanctuary city of San Francisco had released the shooter — despite an ICE detainer — mere months before he killed Steinle.

Immigration continues to be a major issue as the 2016 presidential candidates are making it part of their campaign. Donald Trump has been under fire quite a bit recently for his views on it. Then there was the Pope’s very liberal visit to the United States, where he decided it was his place to tell America how to handle the issue. With so many cities not complying with federal immigration authorities, it’s time they paid the consequences for the dangerous individuals they’re releasing into the country. This is more than a stereotype. There are facts to back it up.
