ICE just arrested 33 known or suspected human rights violators from around the world who were here illegally.

And that was just last week.

They arrested four Chinese citizens who’d performed forced abortions and sterilizations on Chinese women. There was a former intelligence officer from Central America who spied on and arrested dozens of people who were then tortured. They picked up a high-level intelligence officer from the Middle East who’d aided in the arrest, torture, and murder of God only knows how many people. As well as a guy from East Africa who used violence to force women into having their genitals mutilated.

Eight of these people had also been convicted of crimes here in U.S. for things like battery, weapons violations and DUIs. And those are just the international human rights criminals.

ICE also picked up 60 illegal aliens in New Jersey this week, including a 54-year-old child rapist who’d assaulted a police officer and been convicted of burglary. The week before that, they nabbed 225 illegals in New York. These folks included criminals convicted of child rape, assault, theft, DUI, resisting arrest, drug charges, weapons charges and murder.

So just so we’re all clear here, when sanctuary cities talk about protecting immigrants, this is who they’re talking about. Sanctuary city policies don’t just mean they give free handouts to illegals. It means local authorities aren’t allowed to turn criminal aliens like these over to immigration. Criminal aliens.

We’re talking about gang bangers who run around with illegal weapons selling drugs and trafficking women. We’re talking about drunk drivers who run stoplights and T-bone a mom and her three kids in a minivan. We’re talking about war criminals who are wanted in their home countries for things like torture, murder and rape. THAT is who sanctuary cities protect. Don’t tell me this is all about Pablo and his dream to finally get his high school diploma. Sanctuary cities protect murderers and thieves and child molesters.

And they do it on your dime.
