Tragically Sanctuary policies are unleashing devastating consequences for the American people, particularly for those that live in those jurisdictions.  In California, again the birthplace of the sanctuary movement, local politicians released 4,641 criminal aliens from local jails in 2025, rather than handing them over to ICE for removal.  Those criminals included aliens that had committed homicide, assault, sexual predatory offenses, and burglary.  And just weeks ago as the Chairman indicated in Fairfax County, just miles from where we are today, a criminal illegal alien with more than 30 arrests fatally stabbed a woman in the neck.  In that county, Fairfax County, has been a sanctuary for almost a decade and this is a tragic result.
