Thousands of criminal illegals protected by 'sanctuary cities'

 Breitbart:

Sanctuary cities across the United States have protected tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration law, an expert witness told Congress on Wednesday.

In testimony to the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) President RJ Hauman said that from Oct. 1, 2022, to Feb. 6, 2025, sanctuary cities shielded more than 25,000 criminal illegal aliens by refusing to hand them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as requested.

“… in more than 1,400 instances the jails failed to give adequate notification to ICE to take custody of the aliens,” Hauman said of the figures, published by the Center for Immigration Studies.

More than half of those declined ICE detainers — some 52 percent — occurred in the sanctuary state of California, where more than 13,000 criminal illegal aliens were protected.

In Los Angeles, California, the state’s sanctuary policy ensured that six illegal aliens with convictions or charges for homicide were released from jail instead of being turned over to ICE agents.

This week, 43-year-old illegal alien Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino was arrested in Los Angeles County, California, for the murder of 13-year-old Oscar “Omar” Hernandez, whose body was found in a ditch.

Garcia-Aquino had been accused in February of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy in Los Angeles but was not turned over to ICE agents.

Harboring a fugitive from justice should be a crime, and the officials engaged in doing so should be held accountable.   Sanctuary cities are making their own law-abiding citizens less safe.

...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office will assist those families with resources and referrals for legal aid, inform them about enforcement actions against the perpetrator as well as their custody status, and set up a hotline for crime victims.

“We have enemies living among us because of what the Biden administration has done by opening our borders,” Noem said at ICE headquarters Wednesday, joined by several angel family members — including Alexis Nungaray, whose 12-year-old daughter Jocelyn was raped and murdered by Tren de Aragua gang members.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
