Image Credit: ICE Federal authorities finally caught up with an illegal alien who was ordered deported nearly 50 years ago but went on to commit crimes for decades in various sanctuary jurisdictions across the U.S.
Cuban national Eledoro Valenzuela Rodriguez was issued a final order of removal in 1980, but “lenient sentences from sanctuary states New York and Maryland allowed this serial offender to keep preying on innocent people,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated this week.
Valenzuela Rodriguez has racked up a stunning array of charges and convictions for possession of controlled substances, weapon possession, dealing cocaine, marijuana possession, firearm possession by a convicted felon, trespassing, and alcohol violations.
Disturbingly, the Cuban was repeatedly released back into American communities by officials in sanctuary jurisdictions.
Valenzuela Rodriguez was facing new charges for cocaine possession with intent to sell, being a felon possessing a firearm and ammunition, and trespassing when ICE officers took him into custody at Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
“Sanctuary policies protect criminals like Valenzuela Rodriguez and enable them to prey on generations of innocent Americans,” said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons.
“These policies don’t make communities safer. They make enforcement more difficult and force federal officers into more dangerous — and more public — situations. ICE will continue to enforce the law, regardless of local politics.”
