Whether or not you are a Liberal or a Conservative, I think we can all agree that anyone who is a fugitive of justice, that is to say, someone who has already been arrested, arraigned, indicted, tried and convicted of a crime, is someone who should not be free in public, but should be incarcerated, according to the conditions of their sentencing.

Addressing the apprehension of these kinds of criminals is what the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (ICE) officials are sworn to do.  Unlike the domestic police agencies, (i.e. Police departments, sheriff-agencies, the State Police etc.) ICE agents concentrate on non-citizens.  Estimates of between 11 and 14 million represent the number of illegal aliens scattering throughout the USA.  Reports state that well over 2-million of these illegal aliens have deportation orders and or pending criminal charges or convictions.

If you are an illegal alien with a deportation order, (issued by a Federal court), or you are a fugitive from justice, this qualifies you for arrest.  The agency that handles that is ICE.

Historically, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have worked together in the interest of justice.  How things have changed, (Olim numerari poteras, nunc non potes..)  When state and local policymakers created “sanctuary spaces” that shielded criminals from accountability and created an illegal reality.  Article 4, Clause 2 of the US Constitution, known as the Supremacy Clause, states that federal law supercedes state and local law and binds lower court judges to enforce that.  Clearly, states and local jurisdictions that declare themselves as “Sanctuary Spaces” are lawlessly acting against the supreme law of the land.  This disregard for the rules that govern us creates the tension and now bloodshed as ICE exercises their authority in order to enforce the law and protect American citizens.

When you advertise your status as a “sanctuary” you are inviting in those who need it.  Therefore it becomes the most likely place to go looking for criminals.  While doing their jobs, ICE officers are often assaulted and accosted by mobs, seeking to interfere with their duties.  This is where the arrests happen to people who otherwise might have gone unnoticed by ICE, had they not stuck their nose into someone else’s business.  Assaulting an ICE officer is a felony and, interfering in their investigative duties is obstructing justice, also a crime.

A quick check on recent arrests in Minneapolis shows a dozen men located and arrested for the following litany of charges, some 56 in total including:  Murder, rape, child-rape, sodomy of a child, kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct with a minor, and gang affiliation.  While trying to locate and arrest these scum-bags, others interfere and because of that, they are also arrested.

I’m curious how the Liberals explain away their pride in protecting these criminals?

We are still a nation of laws.  Sanctuary places and the people who support them are lawless thugs bent on anarchy and many more will be hurt and killed until they regain their senses and fight for change in a civil fashion, not by becoming a criminal.
