The granddaughter of a 92-year-old Queens woman who police say was murdered by an illegal immigrant who was free without bail has slammed New York's sanctuary policies in an emotional speech.
'The tragedy in all of this is the fact that this could have been avoided, had there been no sanctuary law,' Daria Ortiz said on Thursday at a National Border Patrol Council event, where President Donald Trump had invited her to speak. 'The tragedy is my grandmother is not ever going to be here again,' she continued, struggling to compose herself and visibly emotional. Ortiz said that her grandmother, Maria Fuertes, immigrated to the U.S. legally from the Dominican Republic, and was a 'shining example of when people come legally to this country, work hard, and do the right thing and are law-abiding citizens.'
Meanwhile, reports emerged on Friday that the Trump administration is deploying highly trained officers to boost arrests of unauthorized immigrants in a number of cities, the latest move in a battle against localities that adopt 'sanctuary' policies to protect them from deportation.
Members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) will be among the officers deployed to cities to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. They will be sent to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit and Newark, New Jersey, CBP spokesman Lawrence Payne said in a statement on Friday.

This could be interesting in so many ways. Not all of them good.
