Massachusetts Governor Orders Sweeping Shelter Inspections After Illegal Migrant Arrested With AR-15, Drugs
Story by Jason Hopkins • 14h
Massachusetts Democrat Gov. Maura Healey on Monday ordered an inspection of all state-run emergency shelters after an illegal migrant was arrested with an AR-15 rifle and hundreds of thousands of dollars in drugs found in his taxpayer-funded hotel room.
Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, a 28-year-old Dominican national, was hit with illegal possession of a firearm, heroin trafficking and other charges in late December after local law enforcement in Revere, Massachusetts, found an AR-15 rifle, ammunition and around five kilograms of fentanyl and cocaine inside the Quality Inn hotel room he was living in. That hotel is among the 128 hotels and motels across the state that have been used to house asylum seekers and other homeless families since the immigration crisis began.
Healey, who has defended her state’s sanctuary policies in the past, appeared to blame Washington, D.C., for the shocking arrest.
“It’s outrageous that this individual took advantage of our shelter system to engage in criminal activity,” the Democrat governor said Monday, according to NBC10 Boston. “Our administration has been in touch with both local law enforcement and federal immigration officials regarding this case.”
