‘Sanctuary’ Cities Only Protect Child Predators, Other Heinous Criminals
The author George Orwell (“Animal Farm,” “1984”) once made a great observation about reality, “however much you deny the truth, the truth goes on existing.”
Following the recent riots in Los Angeles, California, the horrific (and unintended) truth about “sanctuary” cities is now painfully emergent.
It may be helpful to examine the historical context regarding the intended function of so called “sanctuary” municipalities.
You can read a copy of the original 1989 “Sanctuary City” executive order signed by the late former Mayor of New York City Ed Koch, here.
No rational or sane person wants to discourage someone from calling the police to stop a rape, a murder, or perhaps a robbery in progress.
No one in their right mind would want to prevent someone from administering CPR, or the Heimlich maneuver to someone at risk of dying.
However, if we fast-forward from the year 1989 to 2025, we’re now witness to a commonsense policy which has been perverted, worse hijacked, into a governmental process offering
maximum strength protection for depraved criminals.
The only apt descriptor for criminal-sympathizing elected officials is “hoodlum,” and they are aided and abetted by a compliant mainstream media industrial complex.
As such both pols and media have been able to hide behind the rhetoric of fake compassion for a long time.
The party which gave us Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, long-ago transitioned into championing the “plights” of alleged gang members and human smugglers.
But the veil of ignorance is being lifted — unwittingly — by the sheer arrogance of the politicians supporting open borders.
The recent riots in Los Angeles not only cost the city an estimated $20 million, but spread fear nationally that the mayhem and chaos on display in Los Angeles would appear in other large cities, and towns like what happened during 2020’s “Summer of Love.”
The specious argument that “sanctuary cities” benefit American municipalities should be considered as seriously as an elementary school teacher receives “the dog ate my homework” excuse.
Most sanctuary cities no longer exist to shield good samaritans but to protect violent criminals from being arrested.
As a result, the United States is experiencing a tragic explosion of child sex trafficking.
This writer can almost hear the shrill howls of protest from open border advocates after reading the previous sentence.
Countless pompous politicians can get themselves arrested every day and non-governmental organizations (NGO) barons can organize as many “protests” as they want but here are the facts:
Several of the individuals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the recent riots in Los Angeles were wanted for child molestation among other heinous crimes.
In New York, illegal alien Wilson Castillo Diaz was finally arrested after raping a five-year-old girl.
Another man previously removed from the U.S. five times, Raymond Rojas Basilio was also arrested in New York for molesting a child younger than 11 years old.
New York “asylum seeker” Sakir Akkhan was stopped by police after an alleged traffic violation but was not detained.
Unbeknownst to police, Akkhan had committed a horrific crime against a child.
Nonetheless, Akkhan is expected to receive a sentence of only six months in prison in a plea bargain for forcing a 15-year-old girl into his car using a weapon and then raping her.
A 16-year-old girl from Guatemala known as “Carmen” was released to the custody of her “brother” in North Carolina, which has nine counties designated as “sanctuary jurisdictions.”
No one should be surprised to learn that Carmen was not reunited with her real brother, instead Carmen was given to a man who posted pictures of himself touching her inappropriately and subsequently making internet ads putting her up “for sale.”
According to U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) whistleblower Tara Lee Rhodas, the same depraved individual putting Carmen for sale also had social media accounts with child pornography.
As of July 2023, approximately half of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “most wanted” criminals for child trafficking were from Mexico.
Last month, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement joined the Polk County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office in a joint human trafficking operation targeting individuals seeking to sexually abuse children, issuing 30 ICE detainers as a result of the investigation.
Unaccompanied children, totaling 370,000, entered the country during the Biden administration. Furthermore, studies claim that 60% of these children are exploited by the cartels for child pornography and drug smuggling.
There may have been a time when someone who would proudly lunge at federal agents in order to protest immigration enforcement would be hailed as a hero, but that time is now past.
President Donald Trump has made it clear he won’t tolerate widespread rioting and looting. Even Democratic mayors from big cities are warning fake protesters that they will be apprehended if they attempt to disrupt and destroy private property.
Americans no longer believe that a “sanctuary” city policy needs to exist to ensure hard working “John” and “Jane” don’t get deported; it seems that the only people these laws are truly protecting and assisting are the very same repugnant criminals they were designed to protect immigrants from in the first place.
