Blood on their hands: ‘Sanctuary state’ madness must end
The article criticizes California's 'sanctuary state' laws, linking them to the deaths of two women and an infant in Modesto. It argues that the alleged murderer, who had been deported multiple times, was able to remain in the state due to these laws. The piece calls for a reevaluation of these policies, suggesting they endanger public safety.
