Governor Walz and Mayor Frey REFUSE to protect Minnesotans and instead protect violent criminal illegal aliens
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today is calling on Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey to put the safety of Minnesotans first and honor U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest detainers of the more than 1,360 including violent criminals in the custody across all jurisdictions in Minnesota.
Since President Trump took office, Governor Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians have refused to cooperate with ICE and released nearly 470 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets of Minnesota.
"We are calling on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to stop releasing criminal illegal aliens from Minnesota's jails to re-perpetuate their crimes," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "ICE has more than 1,360 arrest detainers for the criminal illegal aliens in their custody. Honor them today. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans."
Some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens released under Governor Walz and sanctuary politicians' policies in Minnesota include:
Leny Odemel Ramirez-Santos, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras charged with sex offense against a child - fondling and driving under the influence of liquor.
Edwin Amable Ashca Ninasuta, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador with charges for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor.
Lenda Neh Mama Epse George, a criminal illegal alien from Cameroon with charges for cruelty toward a child and domestic violence.
German Adriano Llangari Inga, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador charged with homicide - negligent manslaughter with a vehicle and driving under the influence of liquor.
Puol Both, a criminal illegal alien from Sudan convicted of making terroristic threats, burglary, first-degree aggravated robbery, and larceny.
Somsalao Thonesavanh, a criminal illegal alien from Laos convicted of drug trafficking and selling a synthetic narcotic.
