Early yesterday morning, my cell phone sounded an alarm that comes only when there is an amber alert issued. A six year old child was missing from a home in Bridgeport, CT. A few hours later, I heard that the child had been found in Pennsylvania after the driver of the car in which she was riding was involved in an accident. By last night, that story had taken a very dark turn of which all residents of Connecticut should hear.
It seems that the six-year-old child was with her father. The father and mother were divorced and the girl lived with her mother. The father allegedly murdered his ex-wife, stabbed another woman at the home 14 times and abducted his daughter. When police in Pennsylvania saw the father's car, they gave chase, and the father then became involved in a crash at an intersection not long after the chase began. Police arrested the father.
Here's the most important point in the story: the father is a citizen of El Salvador who is in this country illegally. He was previously convicted of multiple violent felonies and ultimately ordered deported in 2013. The government deported the father after the court decision, but he snuck back into the USA. The federal government has placed a detainer on the guy with the police department in Bridgeport where he is being held. That detainer is a request to hold the guy rather than release him and also to turn him over to the feds at that point.
Governor Malloy has already directed local police NOT to comply with such federal detainers. Our governor would rather see this alleged murderer and kidnapper free on the streets than to have him deported by the feds.
Is this what the citizens of Connecticut really want to see? Do we want our state to be so caught up in the political ambitions of our governor that we will accept that dangerous criminals are released on the streets of our state rather than being deported? How many people must die in the pursuit of the attempts of Dan Malloy and the Democrats to win the Hispanic vote in this state? And really, are the Democrats that stupid that they think that Hispanic voters will be happy to have an alleged murderer back on the streets rather than being deported?
