printOn the murder by proxy of Kathryn Steinle: Don’t you love the way ICE, the federal wing of the immigration-industrial-complex, is out-front about the slaying of Ms. Steinle? The Immigration and Customs Enforcement is gleeful that this time it’s the city of San Francisco that unleashed a predator on to its streets. But there are as many instances of ICE unleashing the same caliber of criminal on the people they swore to protect as there are instances of localities doing the same. More, actually:
According to weekly detention and departure reports from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, there were 167,527 non-detained convicted criminal aliens in the United States as of Jan. 26 of this year, … ICE admitted to releasing 36,007 criminal aliens from the agency’s custody in Fiscal Year 2013, including those convicted of sex crimes, homicide, drunk driving, kidnapping and robbery. Of these, 1,000 went on to commit new crimes ranging from assault with a deadly weapon and lewd acts with a child to aggravated assault, robbery, and hit-and-run.
The federal government usually takes states to court if local law-enforcement so much as asks an illegal alien about his immigration status. All wings of the Immigration-Industrial-Complex are responsible for this young woman’s death and the fate of many like her. It could be any of us.
