Democrats Get Called Out for Dangerous Sanctuary Policies

Rapid Response

For four years Democrats opened our border, welcomed millions of criminal illegal aliens, protected them under sanctuary city policies, and enabled them to commit heinous crimes against Americans.




Yesterday during a hearing on sanctuary city policies, Angel Families spoke out on their fatal consequences:

  • Angel Mom Jennifer Heiling: "She was a multiple offender, two times over her legal limit, and...she’s never had a license to be on the road in the first place.”
  • Angel Mom Jennifer Heiling: “If this particular woman had been responsibly dealt with and deported after the first time drinking and driving, then we would not be in this position right now.”
  • Angel Mom Laura Wilkerson: “The lies I want to talk about today are what I’m hearing from Ms. Crockett and Mr. Raskin...what are you giving [criminal illegals] sanctuary from? The law?”
  • Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Failure to honor ICE Detainers resulted in...29 homicides, 2,500 assaults...300 robberies, 400 dangerous drug offenses, 300 weapons offenses, and 200 sexual predatory offenses.”
  • Rep. Jeff Van Drew: “They had the man who shot and killed Sheridan Gorman…the Biden Administration released him...these same sanctuary policies protected the man who killed Katie Abraham…”

 

Despite these families pouring their hearts out, Democrats doubled down on their sanctuary policies and smeared ICE agents — a slap in the face to the American people and families of the victims of illegal alien crime.

 

Despite Democrat obstruction, President Trump and Republicans will continue to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws to protect the American people.
