This is absolutely maddening to watch.
In Seattle, 27-year-old Washington State Trooper Christopher Gadd was killed by illegal immigrant repeat criminal offender Raul Benitez-Santana after Benitez-Santana crashed into Trooper Gadd's vehicle at 107 miles per hour. Benitez-Santana was driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
This was a crime. Under Washington state law, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is against the law. So is striking and harming another person.
And here's more from the Post Millennial:
On Monday, defense attorneys for an illegal immigrant accused of killing a Washington state trooper in a DUI collision last year filed a motion to dismiss the case on claims that prosecutors unlawfully "colluded" with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in defiance of the state's sanctuary statute, the Keep Washington Working Act (KWW).
The motion, filed on May 12 in the Snohomish County District Court, alleges that the prosecutor's office sent ICE information about their client, defendant Raul Benitez-Santana, which included his last known home address, criminal history, driver's license information, warrant information, court dates, and the names of people he has lived with. The KWW prohibits state authorities from disclosing such information with federal immigration personnel, but there are limited exceptions for criminal matters.
As a result, the judge presiding over the case, Karen Moore, has delayed the trial to consider the motion, according to Komo News reporter Jeremy Harris. The trial was scheduled to begin on Thursday.
Defense attorneys Tiffany Mecca and Emily Hancock of the Snohomish County Public Defenders Association argued in the motion that the case should be dismissed, citing prosecutors "colluding" with ICE, unfavorable media attention that would hinder a fair trial, and the possibility that ICE could take Benitez-Santana into federal custody for deportation.
So, just so we're clear here: you can kill a law enforcement officer by driving drunk and high, and the Left will argue it wasn't a criminal act and push for your release.
They give lawyers a bad name.
We thought no one was above the law.
Turns out that's a lie.
It sure is.
With public defenders, you get what you pay for.
Sanctuary laws are invalid.
This is so wrong.
Absolutely despicable.
Right.
Amen.
