In the Twin Cities, 29-year-old Edson Celin Benitez, of St. Paul, and 35-year-old Reinol Godines Vergara, of Richfield, were both arrested last May for the April murder of 90-year-old Earl Arthur Olander in the San Francisco Township. Olander’s family tried reaching him for several days. Then on Saturday, April 11, a neighbor went to check on him and found him dead on the living room floor of his farmhouse in Carver County. Olander’s hands were tied, and he had been brutally attacked and his home ransacked. More than a month later, a tip led law enforcement to Vergara and Benitez. Vergara had previously painted Olander’s house and shed. He told investigators the 90-year-old was an easy target because he lived alone and had money. The men are facing second-degree murder charges and are sitting in the Carver County Jail in Chaska. Their bail has been set at $1.5 million. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have placed detainers on the men which could mean they’re suspected illegal immigrants, according to the Star Tribune. Benitez lived in St. Paul, a sanctuary city, where police wouldn’t question his legal status. In Hennepin County, he committed multiple crimes; Vergara only a few.

Personal criminal charges as accomplices to murder need to be brought against every city council member who wrote and voted for these laws and the mayors who signed them too. Only then will they stop. Just like the get-away driver or relative who lets a killer hideout.
I read in one place, these sanctuary cities first came into being in the 1970s; but I don’t know the exact history. It can’t be every one of them. I remember about 5 years ago, it was in the news a lot.
I think the first official sanctuary city (conspiracy to violate US immigration law) was Los Angeles, but the idea was proposed by the Catholic Church with some other denominations joining the ‘Sanctuary Movement’.
Absolutely. There is no justification of any kind for allowing sanctuary cities.
Where is Walker? This is his city. These are his citizens.
“Where is Walker? This is his city. These are his citizens.” Scott Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin is where he belongs in Wisconsin. But I’m sure he’ll be glad you asked about him.
