Sanctuary Cities: When Virtue Signaling Compromises Public Safety
My friends, if you don’t like ICE raids in your city, maybe it’s time to rethink sanctuary policies. These local laws forbid police from cooperating with ICE. So when illegal immigrants are taken into custody, they’re often released — right back into our neighborhoods — instead of being handed over to federal agents.
That means ICE has to go looking for them later, which is riskier for everyone. Governor Newsom says Trump wants a spectacle. But let’s be honest: the spectacle comes from cities refusing to follow federal law, turning law enforcement into political theater.
This isn’t compassion: it’s recklessness disguised as virtue. And it puts every law-abiding citizen at risk while rewarding those who break the law.
That’s not leadership — it’s negligence identifying as virtue.
