Sanctuary City Mayors Condemning Trump Should be Arrested

[Joe Cooper]

Well, not for criticizing Trump, but for breaking the law and recklessly
endangering their citizens by harboring and shielding from scrutiny
illegal aliens among whose number may include assorted Islamic State
agents, sympathizers and potential lone wolf recruits, along with
assorted criminals like the one charged with the murder of Kate Steinle
in the sanctuary city of San Francisco. They are accomplices in crime.

That is the suggestion of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who followed the
righteous indignation of those condemning Trump for suggesting Muslim
immigration be curtailed until we get our terrorist act together, a
suggestion not unlike President Jimmy Carter’s halt to Iranian
immigration during the hostage crisis. Jindal made the case on Monday on
Boston Herald Radio:

“Absolutely, I would hold them as an accomplice. Make them criminally
culpable,” the Republican presidential candidate said when asked if he’d
arrest mayors of sanctuary cities. “I’d also make them civilly liable so
that families, victim’s families could sue. Especially if the prosecutor
isn’t taking action or the mayor’s not changing their ways, I’d allow the
families to go to court as well to recover damages.”

While mayors that say Trump’s proposal is illegal and immoral are free to
criticize the GOP frontrunner, they are not free to break federal
immigration law and refuse to cooperate with federal authorities
regarding the detention and deportation of illegal aliens. It’s not a
small point, but one that is lost on a bunch of mayors led by
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who has declared Trump persona non
grata in the City of Brotherly Love. Nutter is joined in shunning Trump
by Rick Kiseman, mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, and a handful of
others.

Nutter signed an executive order proclaiming Philadelphia a sanctuary
city in 2014, barring city police and prison officials from cooperating
with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. It was
just such a policy that condemned American citizen Kate Steinle to death
at the hands of an illegal alien criminal, Juan Francisco Lopez, who had
been deported five times and had seven felony convictions. That policy
also led to the death of Jamiel Shaw Jr. in Los Angeles. Being a
sanctuary city is illegal. State and local authorities cannot refuse to
enforce federal law. Of course, who is going to call sanctuary cities to
account when the President of the United States refuses to enforce our
immigration laws. As Investor’s Business Daily noted in February,
President Obama ordered those in charge of border security to obey his
executive orders on amnesty and not our immigration laws:

If President Obama, who has warned ICE agents of consequences if they do
their job, had a son, he might look like Jamiel Shaw Jr., a young
African-American killed by an illegal alien who shouldn't have been here.

Shaw was a Los Angeles high school star dreaming of a good life ahead
when he was gunned down on March 2, 2008, while walking home. He was
picked at random, police said, possibly as part of a gang loyalty test
for the illegal alien who shot him.

The sanctuary policies that led to the murder of Shaw are now full-blown
federal policies under Obama. "We're not in the business of deporting
millions of people or of breaking up families," he says. We're also not
in the business of deporting criminal illegal aliens….

…President Obama was telling employees at Immigration and Customs
Enforcement that they had better enforce his executive amnesty orders or
else.

Speaking at a Miami town hall meeting sponsored by MSNBC and Telemundo,
Obama said "there may be (an) ICE official or Border Patrol agent not
paying attention to our new directives. If somebody's working for ICE . .
. and they don't follow the policy, there's going to be consequences to
it."

Well, there are consequences to following it, crimes up to and including
the murder of American citizens. In his Sunday address in which he, like
his Attorney General Loretta Lynch, worried more about a backlash against
Muslims than about defeating the Islamic State in the wake of the San
Bernardino massacre, did not list ending sanctuary cities as a way of
protecting the American people from both terror and crime.

Why aren’t liberals and sanctuary city mayors outraged at protecting
criminal aliens? It is not Donald Trump, whose mouth that roars is not
being defended here, who is releasing dangerous criminals en masse to the
streets of American cities. As Judicial Watch reports:

As the U.S. Senate considers a bill to slash funding for local
governments that protect violent illegal immigrants, a new study reveals
that hundreds of sanctuary cities nationwide released thousands of
criminal aliens from jail rather than turn them over to federal
authorities for deportation….

… in less than a year 340 sanctuary cities, counties and states around
the U.S. released 9,295 alien offenders that Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) was seeking to deport. More than half had significant
prior criminal histories and 600 were released at least twice by
jurisdictions that protect criminal aliens from deportation by refusing
to comply with ICE detainers. The figures were made public recently by
the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a nonprofit dedicated to
researching the consequences of legal and illegal immigration into the
United States….

Of those still at large, 1,377 (20%) had another criminal arrest
following the one that resulted in the original ICE detainer. This is why
a violent criminal, Francisco Javier Chavez, is on the loose. In August
2015 he was arrested for beating his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter
and, despite an extensive criminal record that includes felony drug and
drunk-driving convictions, a California sheriff’s department ignored an
ICE detainer and released him.

[/Judicial Watch]

So the sanctuary city mayors who are condemning Donald Trump are
releasing rapists, murders, and assorted predators to harm Americans.
Where is the outrage about that? And why shouldn’t Attorney General Lynch
show up at City Hall with an arrest warrant?

Attorney General Lynch will not show up at City Hall with a warrant
because she's an Obama sychophant and Democrat. Democrats believe
themselves to be above the law and act accordingly.

Someone else would ask you which 'law' you are referring to
