Recently, the Vineland Police Department in New Jersey arrested alleged child rapist Luciano Trejo-Dominguez<\/a>. Around the same time, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety in New York arrested another suspected child rapist, Joaquin Rodriguez Quiroz<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both men are illegal aliens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) filed detainers requesting that they be held for arrest on immigration warrants. Nevertheless, both were released from custody<\/a> pursuant to sanctuary policies. Upon discharge, both Trejo-Dominguez and Quiroz disappeared and are now fugitives from justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General issued the \u201cImmigrant Trust Directive<\/a>\u201d which prohibits state and local law enforcement officers from assisting ICE in any meaningful way. Also in 2018, the Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a sweeping sanctuary bill known as the \u201cImmigrant Protection Act<\/a>.\u201d That act, in essence, requires Westchester County employees to ignore all immigration violations unless an illegal alien has illegally re-entered the country after a prior deportation, has been convicted of an aggravated felony or is believed to have engaged in terrorist activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These deliberate attempts to hobble ICE<\/a> in its efforts to protect<\/a> the American public from violent, dangerous foreign nationals are part of a distressing trend that has swept across the United States like a dread disease. Since the election of Donald Trump, the number of sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States has nearly doubled<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is particularly disturbing\nwith regard to Trejo-Dominguez and Quiroz. Had the Vineland Police Department\nor the Westchester County Department of Public Safety acted responsibly, both\noffenders could have been removed from our streets pending trial, with a\nvirtual guarantee that they would not prey upon any other children. However,\nthey are now unlikely to be caught until they harm another innocent minor \u2013 or\nICE happens to get extremely lucky and catch them in an enforcement sweep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vineland sits about 50 minutes from\nPhiladelphia, which is the sixth largest city in the United States, with a\npopulation of roughly 1.5 million people. Westchester County is a suburb of New\nYork City, which is the largest city in the U.S., with a population of\napproximately 8.4 million people. Both communities are situated within densely\npopulated metropolitan enclaves with large immigrant communities. And neither\nthe City of Brotherly Love, nor the Big Apple, cooperates with ICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2018<\/a>, the Philadelphia Police Department began refusing to share information with ICE and terminated the Preliminary Arraignment Reporting System, a program that allowed ICE to access information about criminals arrested in the city. It is not known how many dangerous illegal alien felons have been turned loose on the streets of Philadelphia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, according to the Daily News<\/a><\/em>, the New York Police Department denied all ICE requests to detain immigrants in custody from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. As a result, 2,916 illegal alien criminals were released into American communities, rather than being locked up by ICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding two bad guys in the nearly\n23 million people who live in the New York \u2013 Philadelphia megalopolis makes\nlooking for a needle in a haystack sound easy. And that\u2019s if the two miscreants\nin question stay local. There\u2019s now a web of safe zones crisscrossing America\nwhere police refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities makes\nlocal law enforcement agencies complicit in illegal alien crime against\ninnocent members of local communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One wonders when our law enforcement officials got it into their heads that their primary responsibility is protecting the \u201crights\u201d of illegal alien thugs, rather than looking out for the law abiding. But one thing is certain, irresponsible sanctuary policies will only lead to more innocent victims of totally preventable crimes, like Mollie Tibbets<\/a> and Kate Steinle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
