Los Angeles, home to the largest jail system in the United States, has ignored more than 25,000 requests from federal authorities to turn over illegal immigrants after they have been arrested for crimes by local law enforcement, according to federal data obtained by the Washington Examiner.This week, Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced his department would stop transferring even the most dangerous offenders in the Los Angeles County Jail to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In his explanation, Villanueva said he was looking out for the 1 million LA residents who are also illegally residing in the county and too scared to report crimes to police because it could mean being sent

How is this not harboring violent felons and therefore "aiding and abetting"? Send in federal marshalls to arrest Sheriff Villanueva.

And people think law enforcement and the military won't turn on their fellow countrymen. Well, wake up! The only ones of the military and law enforcement, in particular, who buck the system seem to only have the option to resign. They obviously see no way to fight within the system without endangering their lives or their livelihoods. Leftists worked really hard to make the federal government strong over states, yet Republicans never seem to exercise that power when needed. It's left up to those who vote them in and pay their salaries to take the fight to these lawless entities. Voting them out is no longer the simple answer.

Tell me if I am understanding this right. They're not turning in the felonious illegal aliens so that the many more non-felonious illegal aliens won't get nervous. Is that it?

Sheriff Alex Villanueva should be arrested immediately and prosecuted for aiding, abetting, and enabling illegals; As well as malfeasance, and abuse of power! He is protecting them instead of lawful citizens.
Sheriff: That is not the way to fight crime! You are not deterring crime, you are encouraging it!
He is elected, so he can be recalled!

The speculative excuse that that the LA Sheriff is using, is the same bogus excuse that the leftist and liberal Democrats have been using for many years. Because of that excuse untold violent criminal illegal aliens have been allowed back on the streets where they have committed additional serious crimes including murdering and seriously injuring US citizens and legal immigrants. You could extend that bogus excuse to the criminal case any US citizen violent criminal who has family and friends who do not think that he or her should be transferred to a second law enforcement agency for criminal prosecution.
The wimpy Republicans, and I am not including President Trump, should grow a pair and bring this matter to court and get the excuse that the LA Sheriff is using to undermine the effective enforcement of the immigration laws ruled to be invalid, and get a federal court order that the Sheriff must turn over illegal alien criminals to the federal immigration authorities for appropriate disposition in accordance with the immigration laws, along with appealing all adverse lower court rulings to the US Supreme Court if necessary

#5 is right. The sheriff needs to be federally indicted.

ICE can just surround LA and nab these criminal illegal aliens when they try to leave, and they will, when LA becomes a total shiffhole like Portland, Seattle, New York and Chicago.

The German Schutzstaffel were once nice guys too, just like most of our own LE types are. They would just be following orders like they are doing now. The US Military is another story.

Not hopeful. Until outraged voters of Lower Moronia rise up and throw out the political criminals who control them, Los Angeles is Lost Angeles.

Population of California is listed as 40,000,000. Illegals are at least 10%. They are all voters thanks to Ca motor voter law.

Surround the jails and grab them as they're released. Profile everyone leaving the jails. There can be no complaints about ICE breaking any laws, since Villanueva has suspended law enforcement in LA.

Time to cut all Federal funding to LA. That might sway some opinions.

25,000?
That's a lot of illegals being illegal. Almost a damning fact about illegals, wouldn't you say?
