Federal law enforcement arrested several illegal immigrants in Orange County involved in credit fraud using stolen Social Security numbers; two of those arrested had previously been deported in 1996 and 1999 but returned to California. The article criticizes Democratic policies that create a sanctuary environment for such individuals, highlighting the need for cooperation between state and federal law enforcement agencies like ICE to remove dangerous criminals regardless of immigration status or sanctuary laws.

Story summary
On Thursday morning, federal agents conducted a pre-dawn raid targeting five alleged illegal immigrants involved in credit fraud schemes across Orange County and Long Beach. The operation resulted in the arrest of Abel Ávila Martínez, 48, who had previously been deported to Mexico in 1999. Agents used drones to track him as he walked toward his car, eventually surrounding him with tactical units and arresting him after he entered the vehicle. Ávila Martínez is accused of using fake Social Security numbers to fraudulently apply for credit, accumulating over $15,000 in debt before attempting to discharge it through bankruptcy. The raid highlights ongoing efforts by federal authorities to combat illegal immigration and fraudulent activities that harm taxpayers.

Another one was deported in 1996.

Yet they made their way back across the border — and they settled into California, where they presumably knew they would find “sanctuary” from the law, thanks to Democrats’ policy of defying the rest of the country on immigration.

At the debate, Becerra went after Hilton for supporting ICE “mercenaries,” then added a racial attack: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me,” he said.

There’s no record of Hilton ever saying or doing anything racist.

After pointing out that Becerra had lost track of thousands of migrant children when he was in charge of refugee resettlement in the Biden administration, Hilton noted that there is an urgent need to remove criminals who have no right to be in California, or in the US.

Hilton noted that even under existing California “sanctuary” law, state and local law enforcement can cooperate with ICE to remove dangerous criminals.

The problem is that Democrats have demonized ICE for political reasons.

So they can’t work with them — by choice.

Becerra had no answer for that, because he does not want to acknowledge that Democrats have let foreign criminals take shelter in California for decades.

And no one should have to accept living alongside alleged crooks who run fraud schemes that steal Americans’ identities.

What we need are leaders with the political courage to stand up to criminal illegal immigrants.
