ICE Deputy Director Blames Sanctuary Policies for Wisconsin Teen Deaths

Sanctuary Policies and Criminal Aliens

• 🎯 Sanctuary city policies are blamed for protecting criminals who continue to flock to these areas.
• ⚠️ When ICE attempts to lodge a detainer on a criminal alien, these policies prevent their return to ICE custody, forcing ICE to pursue arrests within the community.
• 💔 This situation is directly linked to the deaths of two American teenagers, who were killed by an illegal immigrant with a history of drunk driving.

Immigration Enforcement and Legal Status

• ⚖️ The ICE Deputy Director questions why an illegal immigrant convicted of drunk driving in 2020 is still in the U.S., especially when an interlocking device would be required for an American citizen.
• 📈 Over the past four years, open border policies have hindered ICE's ability to protect Americans, despite over a million and a half final orders of removal for aliens.
• 🚫 It is argued that there should be a minimum threshold for deportation, particularly for illegal immigrants convicted of crimes.

Political Response and Public Mandate

• 🗳️ A bill to deport illegal immigrants convicted of DUI, passed by the House, saw 160 Democrats vote against it.
• 🇺🇸 The ICE Deputy Director believes it is an unrealistic expectation to allow criminals to remain in communities and emphasizes that President Trump was elected with a mandate to prioritize American safety.
• 🗣️ The public's desire is to not import crime and drunk driving from illegal immigrants, aligning with the need for stricter enforcement.
