California’s sanctuary state law maintains that being a criminal is not enough to deport an illegal immigrant. This “compassion” has lethal consequences.

David Mora, an illegal immigrant, killed his three daughters, the chaperone supervising the visit with his children, and himself in a church in Northern California this month. Mora had been released from jail in Merced County after assaulting a California Highway Patrol officer, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wasn’t notified about Mora by the Merced County Sheriff’s Office because of the state’s sanctuary state law.
