Libs: Ban guns, but not MS-13 or machetes. BTW: Your sanctuary policy kills people

My suggestion: vote the bastards out who'd rather pander to special interests on behalf of illegals and their sanctuary demands. They don't care about your family's security, and rather side with the BLM crowd as well.

Prince George’s County has admitted it did defy an ICE detainer and released an immigrant living in the U.S. illegally who had been accused of attempted murder, only to see the teen implicated in a horrific gang-related killing last month.

A spokesman for the county corrections department said Wednesday it released the alleged MS-13 gang member onto the streets. Andrew Cephas retracted his statement on Tuesday that the department transferred custody of the teen to the state.

Mr. Cephas also retracted his claim that the county notifies U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of impending releases. He said Wednesday that the county doesn’t notify ICE except for the most serious crimes.

Joel Ernesto Escobar had been charged with attempted murder in 2018, but was convicted only of conspiracy to commit robbery. Mr. Cephas said that wasn’t serious enough to make him a priority for the county to turn over for deportation.

Thanks to Prince George’s County’s sanctuary policy, Mr. Escobar, 17, was free in the U.S. last month when police say he, 16-year-old Josue Fuentes-Ponce and 14-year-old Cynthia Hernandez-Nucamendi killed a 14-year-old girl who they feared would snitch about a gang robbery. Authorities say the teens are associated with MS-13.

Mr. Fuentes-Ponce and Mr. Escobar were first charged with attempted murder last year. The Prince George’s County Department of Corrections held both at one point, then transferred them to a state juvenile facility.

Mr. Fuentes-Ponce was released from the state’s Cheltenham Youth Detention Center, while Mr. Escobarwas sentenced to time served and released to Prince George’s County — which then released him into the community.

ICE had asked to be notified of the releases, but the county refused.

“The Department of Corrections follows the Guidance Memorandum of the Maryland Attorney General to not inform the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency of individuals being released with a detainer, which is a civil matter,” Mr. Cephas said, adding that there are exceptions for serious crimes but the attempted murder charges didn’t qualify.

ICE this week said it should have been notified of both releases, including Mr. Fuentes-Ponce’s to the state, so it could track them.
