After being elected, Donald Trump promised to withhold funds from cities that refuse to comply with federal immigration enforcement. Since the announcement, several local governments have abandoned their sanctuary status while others doubled-down on their promise to defy the federal government. Areas that fall into the latter category are already feeling the repercussions of their consequential decision.
It’s not just money that they’re risking. It’s safety. Not only do illegal immigrants take more from the economy than they contribute — they also add to the risk of violent crime.
Connecticut residents are learning that lesson the hard way this week. Two days after the state’s governor declared Connecticut a sanctuary state, an illegal immigrant murdered a mother and kidnapped a six-year-old girl.

You guys have all lost your freaking brains, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize the truth!!!!
Blood and death are on this governor’s hands now follow the law of the land
The state should be financially liable for abetting the illegal alien who committed this crime
Absolutely right!
Disgraceful
I am confused as an ex-law-enforcement we never purposely arrested someone for there immigration status. The law only requires that you tell ICE you have an illegal, jails are to call ICE and let them know they are there. ICE issues a hold for them. This is done for every jurisdiction in the country who wants someone held for them. The reasoning of sanctuary cities is completely wrong.
The governor should be charged with aiding and abetting.
Sad story and it seems to be going on alot these days what about the safety of the American people as A priority instead we protect known Criminals.
He should be jailed. He is # 3 in top list of unpopular Governors. 66% disapproval Rating.
If there was a requirement that to hold any public office you had to have some common sense and some intelligence, there wouldn’t be any Democratic Party.
