California cannot deport the man who was arrested for setting fires in Los Angeles, even though he is reportedly an illegal immigrant.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) identified the man as Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva, a Mexican national who is in the United States illegally. He was tackled by Southern Californian residents as he was trying to start fires with a blowtorch last week. Arson has been a problem as criminals try to expand fires for more burglary opportunities.
Sierra-Leyva is being held on a felony probation violation but since California is a sanctuary state, ICE told Fox News that they don’t expect to detain him for long. According to The New York Post, “The Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed an ordinance in November that prohibits the use of city resources and personnel to carry out federal immigration enforcement.”
The suspect will appear in court today but Los Angeles Police Department Divisional Chief Dominic Choi told The Daily Wirethat they don’t have enough evidence and probably cause to charge him with arson, despite VIDEO of him holding the blowtorch.
Can California’s liberal policies fail any harder in full view?
