More Wasted Lives Thanks to New Jersey Sanctuary Policies
By Dan Cadman on November 12, 2018
It's being reported that Luis Rodrigo Perez, an illegal alien from Mexico previously arrested in a New Jersey sanctuary county for domestic violence — and later released despite a detainer filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — has now been arrested for a triple murder in Missouri (see here and here).
These stories are so tragic, so unnecessary, and so depressingly repeated. Time and again they debunk one or another of the absurd arguments made by sanctuary jurisdictions to justify their defiance of federal supremacy over immigration law enforcement and control matters.
For instance, in a recent posting, I noted that an alien in Oregon (also previously arrested, by the way, for domestic violence) was released by a county sheriff and some months later was arrested and charged for murdering his wife. So much for the argument that sanctuary laws protect immigrant communities. The dead spouse was, of course, a part of the immigrant community. As I noted:
