Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged detainers against three MS-13 gang members responsible for the brutal murder of a 14-year-old Maryland student – but this tragedy could have been prevented if Democrat politicians hadn't rolled out the red carpet for illegal alien criminals.

The savage killing represents everything wrong with the failed "sanctuary" policies that have turned American communities into hunting grounds for foreign gang members. While Maryland's Democrat leadership virtue-signaled about "compassion" and "inclusion," a young American paid the ultimate price for their reckless ideology.

These weren't just random criminals – they were members of MS-13, the barbaric gang that has terrorized communities across the nation with machete attacks, human trafficking, and ritualistic violence. Yet Maryland's pro-illegal migration policies ensured these predators could operate freely until they claimed an innocent life.

Blood on Democrat Hands

How many more American children have to die before Democrats admit their sanctuary policies are a deadly failure? This 14-year-old should be in high school today, worried about homework and weekend plans – not lying in a grave because politicians prioritized illegal aliens over American citizens.

The timing couldn't be more significant. As President Trump prepares to unleash the largest deportation operation in American history, cases like this prove exactly why his policies are desperately needed. Every day we delay means more criminals like these MS-13 killers are walking our streets.

"Democrat-run Maryland has pro-illegal migration policies. That ensured three terrorist gang members could kill a young Maryland teen," according to reports.

Under the Trump-Vance administration, this madness ends. ICE agents are finally getting the green light to do their jobs without Democrat interference. Sanctuary cities will lose federal funding. Criminal aliens will be deported, not coddled.

But for one Maryland family, justice comes too late. Their child is gone forever because Democrats chose to protect foreign gang members over American citizens. How many more families will have to suffer before every sanctuary policy is scrapped and our borders are secured?

I live in a sanctuary city and see this stuff firsthand. Local law enforcement's hands are tied by these policies while gang members walk free. It's insanity.

This is exactly why sanctuary policies are so dangerous! That poor child would still be alive if these criminals had been deported when they were first caught. My heart breaks for the family.

Absolutely right. Blood is on the hands of every politician who voted for these sanctuary laws.

Better late than never I suppose, but why did it take so long? How many ICE detainers were ignored before this tragedy happened?
