Structure CMS™ Politics aside, sanctuary city/states ideologies ar reckless and dangerous. The serve only to cater to the ‘politically correct” crowd and do nothing in the way of safeguarding our communities and our citizenry.
It creates and fosters an uneven playing field. And the practice needs to be stopped. It places our citizens and our law enforcement communities at greater risk.
Reports indicate that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested Irvin Acaphelus Cespedes, 41, Wednesday, Oct.16.
Cespedes, who is a less than legally present Jamaican national who has pending attempted murder charges, was released three times between April and October 2019 from local law enforcement custody with an active detainer because of New York City’s sanctuary policies.
“ICE in New York has repeatedly stated that we prioritize the arrest of criminal aliens, and we act in the interest of public safety, unlike New York City politicians who act in the interest of their own personal views while risking the safety of their constituents,” said Thomas R. Decker.
He’s the field office director of ERO New York.
“Cespedes was released on an active ICE detainer multiple times, including after being charged with attempted murder, and instead of him being turned over to our custody, he was released again into the community to continue his threat on the citizens of New York.”
