Remember when sanctuary jurisdiction and illegal alien supporters said they only want to keep the good illegals?
MS-13 Illegal Aliens Charged with Murdering Teen Girl After Being Released by Sanctuary City
Two illegal alien members of the violent MS-13 gang have been charged with the murder of a 14-year-old girl in Maryland after previously being released from custody by a sanctuary city.
Last week, illegal alien MS-13 gang members Josue Rafael Fuentes-Ponce, 16-years-old, and Joel Ernesto Escobar, 17-years-old, were charged with first-degree murder — along with 14-year-old Cynthia Hernandez-Nucamendi — in the death of 14-year-old Ariana Funes-Diaz in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
According to police, the two illegal alien MS-13 gang members and Hernandez-Nucamendi met the 14-year-old victim at an apartment complex before taking her into a wooded area nearby. In the wooded area, police say the three beat the girl with a baseball bat and stabbed her to death with a machete.
Now, the pair of illegal alien MS-13 gang members and Hernandez-Nucamendi have been charged with murdering Funes-Diaz.
Last year, Fuentes-Ponce and Escobar were released from custody by Prince George’s County officials after being charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, participation in gang activity, conspiracy to commit murder, and attempted robbery.
At the time, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency had requested that the two illegal alien gang members not be released back into the community and instead be turned over to their custody for deportation.
Prince George’s County, a sanctuary city, released the illegal aliens anyway, and they were never able to be arrested or deported by ICE.
So, wait, they were released while being illegally in the country and charged with multiple felonies? Big time felonies? Seriously, 1st degree murder and they were released?
Fuentes first arrived in the U.S. at the Texas-Mexico border in December 2015 as part of a family unit. He and the other family members were paroled into the U.S. Though a judge requested that the illegal alien be deported in March 2017, he never arrived for his court hearing and was subsequently never deported.
Likewise, Escobar entered the Texas-Mexico border as an unaccompanied juvenile in August 2016. Instead of being deported, he was released to family members living in Washington, D.C. where he has lived since illegally entering the country.
These are the ones that Democrats are trying to protect. Oh, and this guy

The Washington Post noted
A citizen of Kenya, Chemirmir has lived in the greater Dallas area for more than a decade and had a history of DWI and assault charges, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In 2016, he had also been charged with trespassing at a retirement community in Dallas where one of his alleged victims reportedly lived. He is being held on $9.1 million bail. Because he is in the country illegally, federal immigration authorities have additionally placed a jail hold on him.
Follow that Star-Telegram link for more details. Dallas, sadly, is a sanctuary jurisdiction, and was one of many cities that sued to attempt to stop Texas’ anti-sanctuary jurisdiction law in 2017.

It’s obvious: they were never convicted of those crimes. If you can’t convict them, you can’t keep them in jail.
And while I don’t know much about the Baltimore area, around foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia law enforcement constantly bemoans the “stop snitchin'” culture which protects criminals, as witnesses are intimidated into not testifying or telling the police what they know. Philly gets so many of their thugs continually revolving through the system, charged with serious stuff but never convicted of anything other than minor crimes, until they finally do something really bad and get caught on camera.
What do you want to bet the same thing happens in the Baltimore metropolitan area?
Still, you’d think that even the idiots who run these ‘sanctuary’ areas would think, “Maybe we ought to make an exception here, and let ICE get these really bad dudes out of town.”
