so they won’t be deported!
Seattle, WA, is among the worst sanctuary cities in the United States. In June 2010, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes enacted a new policy which protects illegal aliens convicted of misdemeanors from deportation. The previous policy was to use a 365-day sentence when anyone was convicted of a gross misdemeanor – this meant the individual could then be considered an “aggravated felon” and ICE would review the case for deportation. The new policy is to request a maximum of 364 days in jail for legal and illegal immigrants in order to not tip-off ICE agents to the offending illegal alien. A Seattle ordinance also prohibits police officers from investigating a suspect’s immigration status, unless they have committed a felony.
