A recent incident in Southern California has highlighted the issue, where an illegal alien, Jose Abelardo Villegas-Orbe, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter following a deadly DUI crash.
The crash resulted in the death of 14-year-old high school freshman, Liam Cantu, who was riding his bicycle when he was struck by Villegas-Orbe.
Despite having multiple prior DUI arrests, Villegas-Orbe was allowed to remain free due to the Biden administration's lenient immigration policies.
His prior arrests did not warrant immediate action from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reflecting a broader failure of federal enforcement under current leadership.
The incident has brought to light the tragic consequences of sanctuary state policies.
Author's summary: Sanctuary state policies lead to tragic loss of life due to lenient immigration policies.
