Three illegal aliens were recently arrested in North Carolina after allegedly trafficking $200,000 worth of methamphetamine. One of the suspects, Cristian Cabrera-Rivas, has already been deported multiple times and is reportedly a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, <\/span>according<\/a> to Breitbart.<\/span><\/p>\n In December, prior to his most recent arrest, police apprehended Cabrera-Rivas on charges of \u201cassault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, assault by pointing a gun, [and]communicating threats and possession of a stolen gun.\u201d However, Mecklenburg County released him despite his alleged criminal actions. <\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise. The county, which was already a <\/span>sanctuary jurisdiction<\/a>, elected a new sheriff last year who campaigned against cooperation between local police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Shortly after taking office, he went even further by <\/span>ending<\/a> his department\u2019s participation in ICE\u2019s <\/span>287(g) program<\/a>, which allows law enforcement from participating localities to train with ICE in handling federal immigration laws. <\/span><\/p>\n But the situation with Cabrera-Rivas isn\u2019t the first time Mecklenburg County released a potentially dangerous illegal alien back into the public. In December, the county accidentally <\/span>released<\/a> an illegal inmate, Sergio Coello-Perez, who allegedly committed murder in 2018. Law enforcement managed to detain him again, but the simple fact is both of these blunders occurred because county officials refused to cooperate with federal authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n ICE issued a detainer for Coello-Perez after his first arrest that the county refused to acknowledge, and law enforcement had no business releasing an illegal alien like Cabrera-Rivas who already had a long criminal history.<\/span><\/p>\n
