American Grit
May 28, 2026. Modesto, California.
May 28, 2026. Modesto, California. Three people are stabbed to death in a single home. A 54-year-old grandmother. A 23-year-old mother. A two-week-old baby boy. Two weeks old. Read that again. A baby who had not yet learned to focus his eyes. Three generations. One knife. One afternoon. The man arrested for it had been deported once before. He came back. Illegally. In June 2025, he was arrested for his FOURTH DUI. ICE asked the county jail to hold him. The county refused. State law forbids cooperation with ICE. He walked out. Eleven months later, a grandmother, a mother, and a two-week-old infant were dead on the floor of their own home. They had him. They had him on a fourth drunk-driving arrest. They let him go because the state had decided, on principle, not to ask. A two-week-old child paid for that principle with his entire life. He should be alive. His mother should be alive. His grandmother should be alive. God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.
