The murder of Kate Steinle by a piece of illegal five-times-deported and seven-felony conviction scum has been waking people up to the extent of the problem with Sanctuary Cities.
From Washington Examiner:
Revealed: 276 'sanctuary cities' let 8,145 illegal offenders free in just 8 months, 17,000 total
Some 276 "sanctuary cities," nearly 50 percent more than previously revealed, released over 8,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records or facing charges free despite federal requests that they be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation, according to an explosive new report.
The Center for Immigration Studies, revealing new numbers it received under the Freedom of Information Act, said that those releases from cities that ignored federal demands came over just eight months and are just part of an even larger release of 17,000 illegals with criminal records.
Author Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy Studies for the center, also reported that many of those illegals have been rearrested after their release and charged with nearly 7,500 new charges, including child sex abuse.
Here is an interactive map of the various sanctuary cities in the United States.
It is worth your time to go and look as something is very wrong with the Pacific Northwest.
Our town of Bellingham is not a Sanctuary City - all of Whatcom County is a Sanctuary County. So is Skagit County. So is Snohomish County. So is Island County. So is King County (home of Seattle).
Most of Washington State is a Sanctuary County. So is most of Oregon. So are the counties surrounding San Francisco and the counties surrounding Los Angeles.
