He has been apprehended. he has plead guilty. and he is awaiting sentencing. But some day. he will be released. Under the current Philadelphia city policy of being a sanctuary city. the police cannot inform Federal immigration officials when they are releasing him. This is ridiculous. Imagine that the Philadelphia police have in their custody an illegal immigrant whom the FBI suspects of plotting a terrorist attack. The Department of Homeland Security might very reasonably say to the police: Hold on to him until we can get an agent down there to take him into custody and ask him some questions because we suspect that he is involved with a terrorist plot. The Philadelphia polices responsenot by their choice but by virtue of Philadelphias being a sanctuary cityto the Federal official is this: Could you come back again after he has actually committed the terrorist attack and been convicted of it. and then we will see if we can help you? This makes no sense at all. This is not partisan.
