The blood of two innocent Americans is on Joe Biden's hands after an illegal alien his administration released into our communities has been charged with double murder in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
This is what happens when politicians put illegal aliens before American citizens. This is the deadly cost of sanctuary city policies that shield criminals from deportation. And this is exactly why President Trump won a mandate to secure our border and deport every single illegal alien who doesn't belong here.
The suspect, whose identity authorities are withholding, was among the millions of illegal border crossers that the Biden regime deliberately released into American communities during their four-year reign of terror. Instead of being detained and deported, this criminal was given a free pass to roam our streets – with deadly consequences.
Sanctuary Policies Enable Murder
Mecklenburg County's sanctuary policies meant local law enforcement was prohibited from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove this dangerous individual before he could strike. County officials have American blood on their hands for prioritizing illegal aliens over public safety.
How many more Americans have to die before these radical Democrats admit their policies are a complete disaster? How many more families have to be destroyed by preventable crimes committed by people who shouldn't even be in our country?
President Trump has made it crystal clear: the largest deportation operation in American history begins now. Every sanctuary jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate will face the full weight of federal consequences. The days of protecting criminal aliens while American families suffer are OVER.
"We will not allow our cities to be turned into killing fields by people who have no right to be here," Trump has repeatedly promised.
This tragedy could have been prevented with basic immigration enforcement. It could have been prevented if Biden hadn't dismantled Trump's successful border security measures. It could have been prevented if local officials cared more about their own citizens than virtue signaling to the radical left.
The victims' families deserve justice. The American people deserve leaders who put America First. And every illegal alien in our country needs to understand: your free ride is over.
