Mayor of Philadelphia Jim Kenney found himself in deep trouble this week after a deported migrant raped a child despite repeated ICE detainer requests, with social media exploding over footage of the Democrat “dancing for joy” after his city was officially designated a “Sanctuary.”

Residents in Philadelphia and Americans across the country expressed their outrage on social media Wednesday, calling for the Mayor to step down and saying his policies were in-part responsible for the horrendous crime.

Unacceptable: An illegal alien raped a child in Philadelphia after the city refused to comply with an ICE detainer request & released him back into the city Sanctuary city mayors should be arrested for defying federal immigration law & be held civilly liable for these incidents — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) August 8, 2018

Remember when the Philadelphia Mayor danced in celebration after a ruling upholding Philly's Sanctuary City status? https://t.co/SfxT8RmhNn — Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) August 9, 2018
