Rep. Bob Onder on Illegal Immigration, Sanctuary Cities, and Constituent Crime

Constituent's Assault and Kidnapping

• 💔 An 18-year-old constituent was sexually assaulted by an illegal alien who had overstayed a tourist visa.
• 🚨 Five days later, the same individual kidnapped and assaulted another constituent while driving an Uber.
• 🚓 Local police arrested the suspect, who faces multiple felony charges including sexual assault and kidnapping.

ICE Detainers and Sanctuary Cities

• 📌 ICE detainers request local law enforcement to notify ICE before releasing an illegal alien in custody.
• 🚫 Sanctuary cities often deny these detainers, releasing individuals back into the community.
• ⚠️ This practice is described as dangerous, releasing safety threats back into communities.

Enforcement Challenges and Re-offending

• 📉 ICE faces resource constraints and operational roadblocks, impacting their ability to apprehend individuals.
• ⚠️ Conducting at-large arrests is more dangerous for ICE officers, aliens, and the community compared to honoring detainers.
• 📈 It is stated that 98% of illegal aliens are currently not tracked or in custody.
• 🔁 The re-offending of illegal aliens who are released is confirmed as a certainty.

Crime Rate Comparisons and Data

• 🗣️ The argument that honoring ICE detainers erodes community trust is challenged, with a request for examples.
• 📊 Three studies are offered for the record, suggesting that illegal aliens commit crimes at a much higher rate than citizens and lawful immigrants.
• ❌ The narrative that illegal aliens are more law-abiding than American citizens is deemed false.
