File this one under “What a surprise!” It seems that rape by illegal aliens is on the rise in a so-called “sanctuary city” in Maryland.
According to Fox News and other outlets, a controversial sanctuary policy barring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from accessing Montgomery County jails in Maryland has been partially rolled back. Following the arrests of several illegal aliens all charged with rape or sexual abuse, is a new bid that will force cooperation between county law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich reversed portions of “the Promoting Community Trust Executive Order,” which he just signed in July, and will now allow ICE agents access to certain areas of the county jail in order to apprehend illegal aliens, according to reports by local TV affiliate, ABC7 News.
A county spokesperson confirmed to the local news outlet on Nov. 1 that correctional officers have been ordered to give ICE agents clearance to “identified areas” of the jail to “ensure that transfers are conducted in a safe environment.”
The move walks back an executive order which barred county police from asking individuals about their immigration status and largely prohibited local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE agents. Elrich issued the order to thumb his nose at President Trump and reassert the majority left-leaning community’s stance as a sanctuary city that strongly opposes the president’s hardline policies against illegal immigrants.
The policy also banned ICE agents from entering any non-public county facilities.
However, only a month after Elrich signed the order, he seems to have regretted that decision, as at least nine illegal immigrants were charged with rape and sexual assault between August and September. This caused the county executive’s office to reevaluate the policy and concede that it had received “numerous phone calls, as well as emails” in light of the arrests.
Although ICE said they “can’t speak to Montgomery County’s policy,” an ICE official told Fox News that “cooperation by local law enforcement is an indispensable component of promoting public safety.” The ICE official went on to say, “When some law enforcement agencies fail to honor ICE protocols and release serious criminal offenders, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission.”
Elrich’s office said in August that it cannot honor ICE “detainer protocols” unless they come with a judicial warrant, causing pushback from immigration experts who point out that under the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE agents do not need a judge’s signature to issue such a warrant.
“ICE lodges ‘detainers’ on individuals who have been arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable aliens,” an ICE official told Fox News. “The ‘detainer’ asks the other law enforcement agency to notify ICE in advance of release and to maintain custody of the alien for a brief period of time so that ICE can take custody of that person in a safe and secure setting upon release from that agency’s custody.”
Had detainer policy been followed in the cases of nine individuals released from custody in Montgomery County, they could have been picked up by ICE soon after being put back out the street, and perhaps those sexual assaults could have been prevented.
A spokesperson from Elrich’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the now amended policy.
RAPE is accepted, and condoned by the Islam religion, so this horrible problem will unfortunately continue, as long as ICE has their hands tied !
What did they expect??? These are criminals whom they excuse from breaking 1 law, so why expect them to NOT break others according to their wants, just as they did the 1st by coming into our “home” uninvited and unwelcome???
They need to make up their minds either they are going to follow the law or allow our family members to be raped and abused. My family is in Montgomery county and they all have changed political parties now that they see just how corrupt the democrats really are. After elections if he’s back he will change his mind again right now it’s all about getting the votes. Don’t trust him to have changed because just as fast as he has changed now he will again. Get the liars out of office.
If not for innocent women being raped in the future it would be really nice to just tell that sanctuary city that it is now too late to request ICE help and that they would just have to handle the problems themselves.
The mayor and the other leaders that allow this to happen should be held accountable. They should be sued and held civilly liable for protecting these illegals . It’s not fair to the law biding citizens. Let it happen to one of their family member and see how quickly the laws change.
