Dangerous Illegals
Photo Credit: freerepublic.com The ongoing battle between the Trump administration and those who support sanctuary cities is continuing to heat up. Proponents of these safe havens have asserted that they do not harbor violent illegal immigrants, but rather they are created to help immigrants build a better life. However, a new report from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement blows that narrative out of the water.
From Daily Caller:
The report, which covers February 4-10, tallied 47 declined detainer requests from two dozen jurisdictions across the country.

With the continuous push-back from places like Chicago where they’re creating special ID’s for illegals and Maryland where they’re set to become the first “sanctuary state,” it is becoming harder and harder for President Trump to keep Americans safe from the threat.
