Trump Administration: California “Bankrolling” Smuggling Operations
A Trump administration official accused the California state officials of “bankrolling” criminal human smuggling rings through their so-called sanctuary policies.
“We’re giving them a selling point,” said the official on March 12. “We’re lining their pockets. Sanctuary cities are bankrolling the very criminal organizations that can smuggle terrorists, that smuggle weapons, that smuggle drugs and have killed border patrol agents.”
Present Trump tweeted the following message on March 13:
California’s sanctuary policies are illegal and unconstitutional and put the safety and security of our entire nation at risk. Thousands of dangerous & violent criminal aliens are released as a result of sanctuary policies, set free to prey on innocent Americans. THIS MUST STOP!...
