to ignore this request and let them back out on the streets. if they hadn t done that he would not of been on that pier that day, he would not about access to that firearm and she would still be alive. harris: are there so many people running around san francisco and other sanctuary cities that they can keep up with them? five times deported. the problem is, you get deported and they come right back in through any number of different ways. that s one issue. how you fix that is anybody s guess. harris: the president says we need a wall. correct. you also have sanctuary cities and now states that become magnets because let s face it, if you are a criminal or illegal alien and you know immigration is looking for you, where you going to go? a place you believe is going to protect you and i will be a place like san francisco. harris: clearly this case, with people talking about it,
becomes bigger than kate steinle s death, this attorney saying he wants to call this a tragic accident which changes the scope of being able to get some of those other issues like sanctuary cities. we are still talking about these in big ways, what do you say to the critics of the president and others who want to wipe away the funding for sanctuary cities, what do you say when you say that penalizes every illegal immigrant in the country? they are here illegally, what do you think? if they are here illegally, they are here illegally. they need to not be here illegally, it is basically that simple. there is a proper way to enter the united states, a proper way to migrate to the united states. if you cannot follow the law and get here legally you do not need to be here. in my view, when local law enforcement receives an ice detainer request and they fail to honor it, they are thumbing their nose at every person who came into the united states
in that. well, i think you should have a say in that in fact, the say should be no. it s very dangerous from everyone. the one story you read come out of trenton the crime about that was not only did he climb into a window and rape a 6-year-old girl, but he had been arrested before that. illegal, undocumented alien. and let go. so he was on the street. steve: this is like another one of those cases where the authorities had the opportunity to send the illegal back after he was caught doing something illegal. at least detain him. steve: nothing happened. right. if he had been detained, put in a facility and await being detained, he would not have been on the streets of trenton, a sanctuary city, to rape a 6-year-old. steve: that s the way and that s the problem with the sanctuary cities is they will not honor an ice detainer. correct. they won t even run the background check. when i was the sheriff in monmouth county we had a
yet the local authorities thumbed their nose at an ice detainer. it s unacceptable. molly: david, your thoughts on that. is the sanctuary city to be held responsible for this? the sheriff is more concerned with protecting illegal aliens, this is becoming a growing problem. my client has been documented here on fox news. his fiance was killed by a criminal alien earlier this year. he had been deported five times. he had had numerous prior convictions. the police chief of l.a. said we re a sanctuary city. fortunately president trump called my client after this and offered his condolences and indicated how serious he is with solving this problem. we have kate s law. it passed the house. it s headed to the senate. that will defund sanctuary cities and that is critical in this fight. it will be interesting to see how things go forward.
the western part of the country as many streets turned into river. the army has been deployed, trying to rescue thousands of stranded people. illegal immigrant accused of brutally attacking two women has been deported 20 times. 31-year-old sergio martinez was arrested for those attacks in oregon last week. now his long history of arrests and deportation is coming to light. will car joins us from our west coast bureau. how did this happen? molly, there s no doubt that sergio is a career criminal. he has been arrested almost two dozen times in the united states. he was kicked out of the country for the 20th time last november, but he quickly made it back to the u.s. and wound up behind bars one month later. that s one authorities in oregon chose to ignore an ice detainer to keep him locked up. instead they let him go. fast forward to this week when authorities in portland say he raped one woman, stole her car and assaulted another woman with
