GAITHERSBURG, MD. – What a wonderful idea it was for Montgomery County’s liberal politicians to decide to be a Sanctuary County and allow criminal illegal aliens to reside in that suburban county. Now the police report a third arrest in a brutal slaying with a MS13 gangbanger charged with the June murder in a Gaithersburg park.

Montgomery County Officials Reassured Criminals that
Cops Would Not Work with ICE Roundup
Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and the County Council on Monday said county police “will play no role” in a federal government operation to deport recent illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.
Leggett and the nine-member council released a lengthy statement on the issue amid fears in local Hispanic communities that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, such as the nationwide operation over New Year’s Day weekend, could happen in schools, supermarkets or other public places in the county.
“People are in panic mode,” said Nestor Alvarenga, the county’s liaison to the Latino community. “There have been rumors here and there in Wheaton and Aspen Hill and Langley Park. Parents are afraid and we’ve had parent coordinators and principals notice students who haven’t come to school. We’re trying to tell people to calm down. ICE to this day hasn’t gone into a school, so hopefully, it stays that way.”
Alvarenga said the county has closely monitored the situation since Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced Jan. 4 that ICE took 121 individuals into custody for deportation over New Year’s Day weekend.
