“Sanctuary Cities” are Becoming Cesspools of Migrant Crime
In yet the latest on a growing list of examples of undocumented migrants getting into the country, committing crimes, and then being released, a convicted rapist in the country illegally strikes again!
This recent shocking case involves 24-year-old Daniel Davon-Bonilla from Nicaragua, arrested last year for raping someone in a migrant shelter and 15 months later, released from jail, with no word to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who had planned to deport him.
Davon-Bonilla was just arrested again for the violent rape of a 46-year-old woman in Coney Island. The shocking case is once again shining a spotlight on so-called “sanctuary laws” in deep blue cities like New York.
At an Aug. 13 Press Conference, Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, “Laws do not allow us to coordinate with ICE. I’m not happy about that, and I think he’s the poster child of what’s wrong with not doing that coordination.”
Adams was referring to sanctuary policies in his own jurisdiction that prevent local law enforcement from communicating with ICE, even about dangerous suspects like Davon-Bonilla. Advocates say such provisions protect “innocent migrants” and encourage them to cooperate with police if they witness or are the victim of a crime.
But critics warn it makes entire communities less safe.
“I don’t know a single police officer on the street who arrests someone for a crime and then goes God I hope that guy comes out on the street to do it again,” said Matthew Elliston, Maryland Director of Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
Maryland, another “sanctuary city,” has also been overrun by repeat migrant criminals lately. For example, in Howard County, Maryland, the hunt is on for two convicted criminals, who federal immigration officials say could have been and should have been picked up from jail.
“So, we have two teams out looking for two people,” said Maryland ICE Director Matthew Elliston.
But because strict sanctuary policies prevent many Maryland Counties from holding undocumented inmates for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Elliston’s officers are often on their own tracking down their targets on the streets.
“Howard County has an anti-ICE policy right now,” said Elliston, “Their law enforcement officers are not allowed to speak to us at all.”
Adding, “And it doesn’t matter what the case is, there’s no exemption for pedophiles, rapists, or murders. It’s a zero-tolerance policy for working with us.”
Elliston says he understands the intentions behind laws like these and agrees constitutional rights deserve protection. He simply wishes exceptions existed for crimes of violence and sexual assaults. Especially as his officers take in their 105th sex offender this fiscal year, the most of any ICE field office nationwide.
Elliston’s and other law enforcement officers’ frustrations are all the result of the Harris-Biden failure at the Southern border. The large numbers last year overwhelmed authorities who say they’re still working to get a handle on the millions in this country, awaiting a court date that is often years away.
Migrant criminals who are repeat offenders should get shipped out immediately or at least locked behind bars. Not given a second, third, or even fourth chance.
There is only one way to stop the flood of migrant crime: vote Trump-Vance in November!
This is terrible and BS needs not to make matters worse by inflaming via spin and a lack of facts. Especially since it’s terrible without the shade and spin. You can’t use anecdotes to prove correlation much less causation. It’s bogus thinking and unethical reporting. BS has been better than this in the past. BUSTED.
First, his headline: CESSPOOLS is a major obviously bogus claim that nowhere in the article does he support. He lists three criminals defining his CESSPOOLS and one office out of an unknown number of offices that has 105 sex crimes in 11 months. There were over 500,000 sex crimes in America in 2022. In Trump’s 2018 America, that number swelled to over 720,000 arrests, the largest in over a quarter century. Guess those tax cuts make folks frisky :<( Or maybe the illegals really stepped up the pace during Trump. There are over 400 ICE offices. There are 336 cities in the US at 100K or more in the CESSPOOLS.
This is terrible and BS needs to avoid the illogical and focus on the problem. Sanctuary cities can be defined as cities declining to do Federal work without funding and therefore on the local taxpayers dime instead of the Federal dime. But as BS shows, a unilateral decline of Fed support is terrible . Of course, SCs should help find, arrest, and detain any criminal, foreign or domestic. Ask the voter, they agree.
This is terrible and all repeat offenders, foreign or domestic, need to face full force of the law including incarceration. This should be heightened for illegals and asylum seekers as they are even higher risk than domestics of flight. And SCs should fully and freely participate in this process.
But there is no reason SCs should help the Fed find non-criminal illegals without funding and the Fed needs to accommodate that as well as us citizens. And only that. Otherwise, where does doing the Feds work stop. Having the IRS use your sheriff to hunt down tax cheats, or worse yet —- investigate them. Turn your local cops into an arm of the FBI? Congress can change the arms-length on funding for illegals with a simple vote and then we will see which SCs demur. With the funding argument ended, the only reason SCs can demur is if they believe hunting down illegals freighters the legal immigrants. I think we can take that little bit of crazy on once the funding is taken off the table. `As BS notes, and this was the greatest part of his mistake-of-an-article, even Eric Adams seems onboard. That speaks volumes for city and Congress to fix this. Fast.
Back to the BS mistakes. He provides no statistics to claim CESSPOOLS depending on his reader's acceptance of that lies. Immigrants, illegal or legal, are not making our cities CESSPOOLS. None. They are not cesspools and have the lowest crime rate in a long while. The Council on Criminal Justice tracks 39 cities and states: "Overall, most violent crimes are at or below levels seen in 2019, the year prior to the onset of the COVID pandemic and racial justice protests of 2020. There were 2% fewer homicides during the first half of 2024 than during the first half of 2019 and 15% fewer robberies. Aggravated assaults and domestic violence incidents also are below levels seen five years ago." BUSTED
On the ICE lament, unlike BS, I looked. Here's a really cool site. I think you will find many a fact that actually proves many of your conservative points. With facts. Not BS. After you're done perusing, try the annual report links at the bottom of the site. From 2023: "In FY 2023, ERO removed 3,406 known or suspected gang members, an increase of 27.7% over FY 2022, and 139 known or suspected terrorists, a 148.2% increase over FY 2022. It also removed six human rights violators.
ERO officials made 170,590 administrative arrests, representing a 19.5% increase in overall arrests from FY 2022. Of the total arrests ICE conducted in FY 2023, 43% of those arrested had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, up from 32.5% in FY 2022. In the group of 73,822 individuals with criminal histories, there were 290,708 charges and convictions for an average of four per individual. These included many serious charges or convictions for offenses such as:
Homicide (1,713).
Kidnapping (1,655).
Sexual assault (4,390).
Assault (33,209).
Robbery (3,097).
Burglary (6,964).
Weapons offenses (7,520).

My point: rather than the normal BS way of inciting and inflaming via emotions and anecdotes, try a 360 on the facts, try statistics. There are plenty of them and they are troublesome, problematic, and terrible, they do not scream CESSPOOLS. Bill Sheridan does, and without a fact base too.
Quit trying to spin. You’re not very good at it. Instead of cesspool I prefer to call them shitholes. The facts are that in places where there are many illegal aliens crimes are much higher. Lock and load are defend yourself and yours
Seth; NJ has 23% immrgant per capita, highest in nation. NJ has the 6th lowest violent crime rate in the 50 states.
IOW, name your home state. Bet it has lower immigrants per capita and higher violent crime rate. Be honest now. No spin.
You gotta check before you guess.
Ps: show us the spin or stfu.
Trenton has a horrible stat for violent crime. So you stfu.
Frank,
What a blowhard you are. You sound like a Kamela Harris on sterioids.
New Jersey is a shithole of crime and poverty and you know it if you live there.
I have friends who have moved out of New Jersey because of what a screwed up state it is.
JW: from 2016 – 2020, NJ had the sixth lowest poverty level of all 50 states.
NJ has the 6th lowest violent crime rate in the 50 states.
NJ is about 23% immigrants, one of the highest levels of all 50 states.
Yes, many leave NJ calling it screwed up for so many reasons. The primary is not crime, poverty, or immigrants ——- it’s taxes, especially property causing many to leave upon retirement to lower tax states. I have always said NJ is no country for old men, and it still holds true.
Hey, to really get your goat:
NJ has some tough guns laws.
NJ has one of the best public school systems in America.
NJ is number three for highest median income
NJ, oh man, ranks 8th for advanced degrees on a per capita basis
= but number 6 for college degrees, per capita
Yes, we are one smart, money-grubbing, bunch of liberals who hate guns but love having immigrants to do the lawns and housekeeping….. just kidding, but somewhat true. And then we turn 65 and leave.
But for young, smart, educated folks —– NJ is a great start. Has been since the 50’s and before.
Thanks for the informative stats Frank!! Yes BS is the cesspool!!! That is why his initials are BS!!!
Then FS has an erectile dysfunction, if you say BS things.
Did AF just say Stetson has ED if Tom says BS things?
That’s weird….
But I hear AF knows ED. Every man she meets seems to get it after seeing her. Ba dum bump.
Right back at ya baby. And look Ma, no name calling. The slam man blams ma’am,
Seth: Do you not know your home state; could it be a state a confusion? You could always ask a friend…. And yet, you did not stfu although really not expected. Instead you diverted from my State statement to a city. Yes, Trenton NJ is indeed a violent place. As is Newark and Camden. I hang in Newark all the time, much renewal going on downtown as well as our Gold Coast across from NYC which was reborn post the 9/11 attack.
Crime in Trenton is bad, but after two record years, in 2022 homicides dropped 43%. That’s against a national 5% drop thanks to Harris/Biden’s governance. Other crime reduction highlights include a 27% reduction in burglaries, a 23% decrease in sexual assaults, and 354 firearms recovered. However, there was a 7% increase in aggravated assaults.
Much of these gyrations are thought to be pandemic related, but they are what they are.
And that is Trenton is improving, getting safer, and NJ still stands as having a very high rate of immigrants and illegals and the sixth safest State record for violent crimes. We tout our strict gun control for much of that and if we could shut off the iron pipeline from loose gun running states in the South like Florida, we could do even better.
So, question still stands, what’s in your wallet? What “shithole” State do you hail from?
Seth still trying to figure out what state he’s in.
I’m guessing confusion.
Get it?
Seth won’t. Not stated clearly.
Duh!!! What do that mean?
