Claim by Conservative Commentator Liz Wheeler:
Liz Wheeler claims that an undocumented immigrant involved in the murder of a toddler was not deported despite multiple deportation orders due to sanctuary city policies.
Reasoning:
The case in question involves Nilson Granados-Trejo, a 25-year-old Salvadoran national, charged with the murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres in Prince George County, Maryland. Granados-Trejo, identified as a co-conspirator in the shooting, was in the U.S. illegally and had previously been arrested and ordered for deportation. Despite multiple immigration detainers filed against him, local authorities did not honor these requests, leading to his release. This case highlights the contentious issue of how sanctuary policies and non-cooperation with ICE detainers can impact public safety. Following Granados-Trejo’s involvement in the murder, ICE and Montgomery County reached an agreement to notify ICE about the release dates of egregious offenders, indicating a shift towards cooperation.
Fact or Fiction?
Fiction. While it is true that Granados-Trejo, an undocumented immigrant, was involved in a murder and had not been deported despite previous arrests and deportation orders, the claim that sanctuary city policies are to blame is not fully accurate. The issue revolves around specific local policies on immigration enforcement and cooperation with ICE detainers rather than a blanket failure attributed to sanctuary city policies.
