Key Issues In Trump’s Meeting On Sanctuary Cities

WHAT: At a roundtable with President Trump, community leaders spoke out against the sanctuary policies that are jeopardizing the safety of their communities. 

During a roundtable with President Trump, local leaders from across California spoke out against the statewide sanctuary policies enacted under Governor Jerry Brown. Local leaders called out sanctuary policies for what they are: dangerous.

San Jacinto Mayor Crystal Ruiz spoke about California’s statewide officials, saying “Our children are at risk. My community is my family. You’re putting my family at risk.”

The Mayor of Escondido Sam Abed said, “When Jerry Brown cares more about illegal criminals than he cares about the Hispanic community and the American citizens, this is insanity, and this is unconstitutional … This is personal to me. I’m going to work hard to make sure our community is safe.”

Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (CA-67) said she hears from constituents every week who say they “don’t want to see another Kate Steinle,” referring to the killing of Kate Steinle by an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal history.

El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini told the President that “this bill absolutely jeopardizes public safety in our communities.”

These communities simply want to protect the safety of their residents.

WHY:  When sanctuary jurisdictions obstruct Federal immigration enforcement, they often allow criminal aliens to be released into American communities.

Sanctuary jurisdictions often hold back Federal immigration authorities from being able to effectively carry out their duties by denying requests to detain a criminal alien for a short period of time or refusing to provide notice to Federal authorities before releasing criminal aliens in their custody. As a result, sanctuary jurisdictions often enable criminal aliens to be released and avoid removal. Too many of these released criminal aliens have gone on to commit crimes that could potentially have been prevented had the alien been detained and removed from the United States.

In January 2018, an alien was arrested in Los Angeles for possession of a controlled substance. Federal authorities issued a detainer request which was not honored, and the individual was arrested again the following month for murder.

In February 2018, an alien was arrested in California for burglary, possession of burglary tools, and criminal conspiracy, but a detainer request for the individual was denied and he was released. The individual was arrested again in April 2018 for attempted murder.

In March 2018, an alien was arrested in Santa Cruz, California for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, but a Federal detainer request was not honored and he was released. The individual was arrested again less the two weeks later for the same crime.

NEVER again say the words “ILLEGAL” AND “IMMIGRANTS” in the same sentence as the MEDIA never put the two together, WHEN Mr. Trump calls the illegals “ANIMALS” the MEDIA somehow switches it around and it ends up with the opposite words in their PRESS !!!!

What in the world is up with these politicians who are harboring illegal criminals and care more about protecting them than their own constituents. I hope these constituents will vote out of office any of these corrupt politicians who are up for re-election. This is a travesty and a danger to our American citizens. We need to defund all of these sanctuary states and cities NOW. Our tax dollars should not be spent on harboring these criminals. BUILD THAT WALL

Could or would someone please explain how we have reached a point that it has become a dirty, racist act to want to protect our communities and have our officials we elect to honor our same interests and do their jobs first for us. It all has become backwards and I feel like I am living in an alternative universe. I really don’t think I am crazy. All I can say, I think it is disgusting we have no rights to hold our tax dollars back, of course that that we would be arrested for!

I saw the round table discussion with the people from California and I noticed that kevin mccarthy was present at the meeting. I’ve been led to believe that he is pro immigration. If this is correct then his presence places a fly in the ointment. Watch out! Our plans may be sabotaged!

I am at a Starbucks in San Jacinto, CA as I read this article. Very glad to see that the leaders of this predominately Hispanic town are awake to the dangers of harboring those who have no respect for the rule of law. Long live the Republic! Build that WALL President Trump!

God bless this amazing President who in spit of such nasty liberal opposition, is honouring the commission God appointed him to do. He cares about people, not enriching politicians feathering their own nests at the expense of the people who elected the,.
If anyone deserves the Nobel peace prize is it President Trump. My prayer and heartfelt wish is that regulation could be put in place for the Media to become honest! Anot receive money from this satanic One World order who want to eliminate 2/3rds of the Worlds poplualtion under their rule and God removed!. Revelations warns of this but those who honour God shall be with Jesus throughout Eternity in a glorious Heaven Amen <3

I’m with the commentator who said that it will be great for the Republicans if the democrats keep mad max and nancy pelosi around. Those two put the face of insanity and criminality on the democrat party. With mad max threatening criminal assault on the public in general and babbling nan sponsoring the sub-human MS-13 degenerates, it looks like the democrats have America’s best interests at heart. They are third world all the way, and two examples of the urgency to establish term limits. The democrat slum is too big.
I feel clean when I say I’m a Republican.
