Fourteen days is a clock. One thousand three hundred twenty-eight is a county that finally got visited.
FIRST ON FOX: ICE quietly arrests jaw dropping number of illegal immigrants in massive DC area operation
Fourteen days. One thousand three hundred twenty-eight arrests. Almost four hundred already had a rap sheet. The suburbs still call themselves kind.
Summary
- Fox News, in a first report, says ICE arrested 1,328 illegal immigrants over 14 days in the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Virginia and Maryland under Operation Safe Community, Washington, D.C., from Aug. 1 to Aug. 14.
- Almost 400 of those arrested had criminal convictions or pending charges, including a Salvadoran national wanted in Richmond on a murder warrant, plus rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, DUI, robbery, and attempted murder.
- Just the News, citing DHS, notes the two-week sweep focused on D.C. and sanctuary-style suburbs that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox the officers arrested sexual assailants, kidnappers, drunk drivers, robbers, and gang members in those two weeks.
Commentary
A Fairfax plumber still parks on cracked asphalt and checks the side mirror before he opens the door. He did not vote for a murder warrant to sit in a suburb that lectures him about kindness.
That is the gap. One thousand three hundred twenty-eight in fourteen days. Almost four hundred already known to a docket. A Richmond murder paper. A rape charge. The counties that would not share a name still want credit for being gentle. The officers did the work without a parade.
Ask every parent on that Beltway: if a sanctuary will not flag a murder warrant, what part of 'community' was ever a lock?
Comments
I ran plates at a stop. Sharing a murder warrant with ICE is not a raid. It is the job.
A detainer is a federal request. A suburb that files it in the trash is choosing the next victim.
Allied capitals do not need a press release to let a local cop flag a wanted man.
Watch who funds the 'no cooperation' flyers. They never sat a Richmond murder briefing.
I clock in smelling like diesel. Four hundred rap sheets in two weeks is not a vibe. It is a backlog.
Kidnapping and rape on that list are not paperwork errors. Those are other people's children.
A capital region that hides a murder warrant is a message to every cartel accountant.
Fox printed 1,328, 14 days, almost 400 criminal cases, and the Richmond warrant. Argue those nouns.
Keep the quiet ops. Honor the next hold. Print the count every two weeks until the suburbs remember the statute.
