In a stunning display of how far California's sanctuary state policies have spiraled out of control, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is now begging Governor Gavin Newsom not to release a staggering 33,179 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets – including murderers, sex offenders, and drug traffickers.

This isn't just about politics anymore, Patriots. We're talking about convicted criminals who have no legal right to be in our country being set free to potentially victimize more innocent Americans. And Newsom's California is rolling out the red carpet for them.

Sanctuary State Madness Reaches Breaking Point

The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have issued urgent calls to California authorities, practically pleading with them to honor federal detainer requests instead of releasing these dangerous individuals. But true to form, Newsom's administration continues to prioritize the "rights" of foreign criminals over the safety of American citizens.

Social media exploded with outrage as the news broke. One user posted: "GAVIN NEWSOM IS NUMBER 1 AGAIN! OLD ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL LOVER @GavinNewsom REFUSES TO KEEP THE ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS in jail or turn them over to ICE TO BE DEPORTED!"

Another critic highlighted the scope of the crisis: "SANCTUARY CALAMITY: DHS and ICE Urgently Call on Gavin Newsom and Sanctuary California to Not Release 33,179 Criminal Illegal Aliens, Including Murderers, Sex Offenders, and Drug Traffickers from Jails Back into California Cities."

While some defenders note that California prisons do cooperate with ICE transfers at the end of sentences, the reality remains that county jails are largely banned from honoring ICE detainers due to California's radical sanctuary policies.

Trump Administration Ready to Act

This crisis perfectly illustrates why President Trump's mass deportation agenda is so critical. For too long, blue state governors like Newsom have thumbed their noses at federal immigration law, creating safe havens for criminals while putting law-abiding Americans at risk.

How many more victims will sanctuary policies claim before Americans say "enough is enough"? The Trump administration has the tools to fix this mess – but will states like California finally start cooperating with federal law enforcement, or will they continue to choose criminals over citizens?

I live in LA and see the effects of these policies every day. My neighborhood has gone downhill fast with repeat offenders getting released over and over. When will this madness end?

Same here in San Diego. It's getting worse by the month.

Stay safe out there! These politicians don't have to live with the consequences of their decisions.

This is absolutely insane! How can Newsom justify releasing 33,000 criminals back into our communities? ICE is literally begging him to protect American citizens and he's ignoring them.

Because he cares more about his progressive agenda than keeping Californians safe. Vote him out!
