Sanctuary Policies and Criminal Aliens

• ⚖️ Critics argue that sanctuary jurisdictions contribute to the problem by not allowing ICE access to prisons and individuals.
• 📉 The White House claims Minnesota sanctuary politicians have released nearly 470 criminal illegal aliens back into communities since Trump took office.
• 🚨 Among those arrested during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis was an individual convicted of murder and another with 24 convictions, including domestic abuse.
