**California’s Sanctuary Policies Endanger Public Safety**

In a shocking revelation illustrating the consequences of sanctuary state policies, a new study has found that over 25,000 criminal illegal immigrants were released back into local communities without notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) between October 2024 and February 2025.

The state of California, infamous for its lenient approach to illegal immigration, led the charge by releasing more than 13,000 criminal illegal immigrants back into its population. Other states, including Illinois, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, significantly contributed to this troubling trend.

These numbers raise serious concerns about public safety, as the study highlights specific jails that released thousands of individuals without regard for ICE detainers. The Santa Clara County Jail alone allowed more than 3,000 criminal illegals to walk free, while Cook County Jail in Illinois and the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center in Virginia released over a thousand each.


In a strong condemnation, Tom Homan, who served as President Trump's border czar, emphasized the dangers posed by these criminals returning to the streets. Homan stated, “They’re releasing public safety threats to the streets every day,” advocating for a ramp-up in deportation policies and stricter actions against sanctuary jurisdictions.

Public sentiment is increasingly against these sanctuary policies. A recent poll by Cygnal revealed that 70% of Americans view illegal immigration as a crime, and over 60% support the deportation of illegal immigrants. Notably, even among Hispanic voters, support for deportation has grown significantly since earlier this year.

The findings of this study amplify ongoing debates about immigration enforcement and public safety. Critics argue that sanctuary policies not only undermine federal law but also endanger communities across the nation.

As the Biden administration's lax immigration policies continue to foster insecurity, it is essential that lawmakers reconsider the implications of allowing criminal illegal immigrants to roam free. The evidence clearly shows that sanctuary states are not merely a matter of ideological disagreement; they pose real risks to the safety and well-being of American citizens.

With the public increasingly backing a return to stronger immigration controls, the momentum is shifting towards a renewed commitment to law and order. It's time for states to prioritize the safety of their residents over political expediency. The American people deserve a government that protects its citizens from the dangers posed by criminal elements slipping through the cracks of sanctuary states.
