Illegal immigrant arrested in shooting of California sheriff's deputy
A suspect is in custody after a California law enforcement official is shot in the leg while investigating a domestic violence report.
A California sheriff is calling for immigration reform in his state after he says sanctuary city policies freed a violent illegal immigrant who went on to shoot a police officer and lead cops on a wild, high-speed chase.
Guadalupe Lopez-Herrara, 51, was taken into custody Thursday, a day after the Merced County’s Sheriff’s Office says Lopez-Herrara shot a deputy attempting to arrest him for allegedly violating a restraining order, FOX26 reported.
"This person is not a legal citizen within the United States," Merced Sheriff Van Warnke said at a press conference Thursday. "We had him in our custody in January of this year. And because of the folks in Sacramento limiting our ability to cooperate with ICE, we could not turn him over."
