How insane has this country become when an ICE official has to argue the correctness of arresting foreign criminals who have no right to be present in the US?

Worse, why do parents of children killed by illegal aliens feel they must defend American law enforcement from open-borders crazies?

He had come in contact with the police on several occasions. He had committed breaking and entry, and assault and battery on a police officer and all he received was a slap on his hand.”

In 2014 Maureen Maloney held a photo of her dead son Matthew Denice as she gave a victim’s statement at the sentencing of illegal alien Nikolas Guaman for the manslaughter death.
