An illegal immigrant released by a “sanctuary city” county in New Jersey was charged last week with a triple homicide halfway across the country in Missouri, authorities said Friday.
Luis Rodrigo Perez stands accused of being the gunman in a shooting rampage last week that claimed the lives of two men and one woman at two homes.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it had tried to deport Perez after he was arrested on domestic violence charges in Middlesex County, New Jersey, last year.
But the county, which has a noncooperation policy with ICE, refused to alert federal agents when it released Perez in February, ICE said.
“Had ICE’s detainer request in December 2017 been honored by Middlesex County Jail, Luis Rodrigo Perez would have been placed in deportation proceedings and likely sent home to his country — and three innocent people might be alive today,” said Corey Price, acting ICE executive associate director.

It's New Jersey there are just as many Goomba thug wannabees there.
Charge the city employees responsible for the policy with accessory to murder. Crap will stop fast with liberal activists sitting in prison for murder.
10:38 - who? Like Ralphie and Tony and Paulie Walnuts?
Expect nothing less out of New Jersey. They re-elected a corrupt senator so not releasing a criminal to ICE is to be expected...the new normal. Get used to it.
Charge them and take them to court. This won't stop until someone has to pay for these crimes that the "released" person commits.
