Philadelphia releases felon despite detainer and criminal arrest warrant in place

PHILADELPHIA — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a dangerous illegal alien after he was released by the city of Philadelphia, despite an active detainer, which included a criminal arrest order signed by a federal judge.

On Thursday, June 14, 2018, ICE officers obtained a criminal arrest warrant in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania for Guillermo Leon-Sandoval for violation of 8 USC 1326(a), re-entry of a removed alien. City authorities had previously said they would honor detainers that included a criminal arrest order signed by a judge, but did not in this case.

Guillermo Leon-Sandoval, 35, has been charged by Philadelphia police with unlawful restraint/serious bodily injury; simple assault; recklessly endangering another person; and false imprisonment. The incident giving rise to these charges involved the assault of his estranged wife. Leon-Sandoval was also previously convicted of illegal entry in September 2014.

“The local government’s goal of making Philadelphia a sanctuary city will not deter us from our mission of making communities safer nationwide and honoring immigration laws,” said Gregory Brawley, acting field office director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Philadelphia. “In this case, the individual has been charged with recent violent crimes. We will continue to pursue individuals such as this for arrest and removal.”

“I commend ICE for arresting this individual pursuant to a federal judicial arrest warrant,” said U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to enforcing federal law, including, of course, our immigration laws. We will continue working with all law enforcement agencies to keep our community safe.”

ICE does not conduct sweeps, checkpoints, or raids that target aliens indiscriminately. ICE operations target public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens, gang members, and individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges. Reports to the contrary create panic and put communities and law enforcement personnel in unnecessary danger. Any groups falsely reporting such activities are doing a disservice to those they claim to support.

The person or people who ordered or OK'd his release should be held in contempt of the judges court as well be charged with aiding and abetting a known felon! no more of treating these idiots who feel like enforcing laws they like and ignoring the ones they don't, that is anarchy! Start holding them accountable and this sanctuary bull will stop. I grew up believing that only a church or another country can offer sanctuary, not cities, counties or whole states. This is just another example of anarchy. It just paves the way for a lawless society. These people are, on the face of it, guilty of commiting, at minimum, the law aginst aiding and abetting and should be prosecuted just like you and me would be!!

Everyone involved in the release of this criminal illegal alien should be arrested on Federal crimes.

It sounds like the Philadelphia PD and the City of Philadelphia are giving illegal aliens a free pass no matter what crime they have committed.

If I was a black male drug dealer in Philly and got locked up and served time, I would be highly upset with my Democrat elected officials.

Believe it or not Sanctuary Cities and these types of releases are actually discriminatory.

Members of ANTIFA Wicomico support these illegal sanctuary cities.

ANTIFA Wicomico Progressives hate cops.

ANTIFA Wicomico Progressives hate ICE who are cops.

ANTIFA Wicomico Progressives hate Blue Lives Matters.

ANTIFA Wicomico Progressives celebrates the killing of cops.

ANTIFA Wicomico Progressives hate white men.

ANTIFA Wicomico includes Jamaad Gould, James Yamakawa, Amber Green, Jake Day, Jake Burdett, Jared Schablein, Earle Hatton, Michele Gregory, Michael Feldman, Josh Hastings, Dan O'Hare and quite a few others. These are the ones that are dangerous because they are trying to take over county politics.

Some of these idiots are running for office and no matter what your party is, Democrat or Republican, you would be foolish to vote for them. Although they are on the ticket as Democrats, they don't identify as Democrats, they identify are Progressives and they are talking about bringing civil war to the streets.

ANTIFA Wicomico are Progressives NOT Democrats.

The Progressives currently on the ballot for Wicomico County are:
Ben Jealous - Governor
Dan O'Hare - 37B House of Delegates
Sheree Sample-Huges - 37A House of Delegates
Carl Anderton, Jr. - 38B House of Delegates(Because of his love affair with Progressives)
Jack Heath - County Executive. True Progressive, supported by Progressives
Jamaad Gould - County Council at Large
William R. McCain - County Council at Large
Alexander W. Scott - County Council, District 2
Michele Gregory - County Council, District 3
Josh Hastings - County Council District 4
W. Seth Mitchell - States Attorney

These Democrat candidates on your ballot are not Democrats, they are members of the radical Lower Shore Progressive Caucus and they are trying to take over your Party. They are Dangerous and radical. If they were true Democrats then why did they start their own Progressive Party? Don't be a fool, do not vote for them!

Do not vote for the Progressive Party!!

TWO SETS OF LAWS. Openly, in your face, and with no regard for any consequences. Consequences are for serfs.

If YOU obstruct justice, aid a felon in escape and evasion, ignore and openly defy a federal law, an ARMY of police, prosecutors and judges cannot wait to teach YOU a lesson about "the law" and how YOU are not above it or immune from obeying it.
You will spend a LOT of money and may still go to prison.
For the serfs (that's ALL of you, by the way), adherence to "the law" is considered paramount to our republic.

THEY do any of that, and it takes 3 years to investigate, evidence disappears, subpoena's are blatantly laughed at, as are demands for documents. "We, the people" (their BOSSES) are told we are too stupid or too untrustworthy to even SEE them. A BUREAUCRAT (NOT elected, but still considered princely and powerful) decides what "We, the people" are ALLOWED to know about the subversion on a Presidential election.

Hang them on TV and while they are still twisting and choking, set them on fire.
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO TO PISS YOU OFF ENOUGH?

Let us know from your prison cell, where they sent YOU for destroying evidence they subpoenaed.
Keep cheering.
