Trump admin stops handing over illegal migrant criminals to California for prosecution — it will just deport them instead
Keep dreaming, California. When the feds nabbed a Chinese illegal immigrant who was wanted in Monterey Park, California, for assault with a deadly weapon they refused to release him back to the sanctuary Golden State to stand trial. The risk, one Border Patrol leader said, is that he'll just be released back onto the streets. Instead, they kept him in federal custody so he could be put on a one-way flight back to China, according to the Department of Homeland Security. 4 A Chinese illegal immigrant criminal was nabbed by the feds and is going back to China. X/@USBPChiefELC It's just one example of a new Trump administration policy in which many illegal migrants in federal custody who have pending criminal charges in California will not be handed back to state authorities. Instead, they'll be processed for deportation and shipped out the country, according to Fox News. US Border Patrol Chief in California's El Centro sector Gregory Bovino used the unnamed Chinese illegal migrant as an example of this policy. 'Due to sanctuary policies in CA, we aren't turning him over to local authorities because as we've seen many times, this criminal illegal alien will be released back into the country,' Bovino wrote on X. 'We are now exporting this criminal import back to his home country,' he added. Bovino also recently shared a case of a Salvadoran illegal immigrant career criminal the feds took 'straight outta Hollywood and straight into handcuffs.' The feds collared him after he already racked up 'multiple felony theft convictions, including auto theft' and had an existing warrant. 4 The Salvadoran illegal immigrant was captured in Los Angeles during Trump's mass deportation effort. X/@USBPChiefELC 'Because sanctuary policies will not guarantee his return to federal custody after the active warrant, we will not turn him over on the warrant,' said Bovino. He added: 'Instead of starring in Fast and Felonious: Grand Theft L.A., the only ride he's taking is in the back of our transport van straight to a detention facility. No stunt double. No escape. Just a real ending: arrest and deportation.' 4 Bovino told Fox News that sanctuary policies force local cops to release illegal immigrant criminals out onto the streets. FOX News Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who was elected last year on a tough-on-crime platform, insisted that criminal illegal immigrants aren't ending up back onto the streets. 'If they don't have faith that we can do our job, I would say they should have that faith,' Hochman told Fox News. 'And once they've served their jail or state prison time, they'll be turned immediately over to the federal officials. With the warrant it's automatic,' he said. President Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan isn't convinced — telling Fox News the local authorities need to do more to prove they will hand a criminal illegal immigrant back to the feds if they are set to be released from custody. 'If someone wants someone back into custody to prosecute them, they need to do a writ guaranteeing us that when they're done they'll give them back to us,' said Homan. The Trump administration will still hand over illegal immigrants to California authorities if they've engaged in egregious violent crimes or murders, according to Fox News. 4 President Trump visits the newest ICE detention center in Florida known as 'Alligator Alcatraz.' REUTERS The Trump administration sued Los Angeles, its mayor and other top city officials on Monday over the city's sanctuary policies that they claim discriminates against federal law enforcement. 'Sanctuary City laws and policies are designed to deliberately impede federal immigration officers' ability to carry out their responsibilities in those jurisdictions,' the lawsuit reads in part. 'The Los Angeles Ordinance and other policies intentionally discriminate against the Federal Government by treating federal immigration authorities differently.' Anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles turned violent earlier this month as rioters attacked immigration authorities, burned cars in the streets, and vandalized and looted local businesses. Rioters took to the streets after ICE agents hit a Home Depot in the Hispanic-majority city of Paramount June 7. The violence led Trump to call in around 4,000 National Guard troops and roughly 700 Marines to quell the madness.
