We see bizarre stories like this so often that we have become numb to just how insane it really is.
Stop and truly process this:
The Gateway Pundit reported,
ICE Recaptures ‘The Witch’ — Notorious Machete-Wielding MS-13 Killer Wanted for Murder After Newsom’s Sanctuary Policies Set Him Free
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that a notorious MS-13 thug, David Antonio Aviles Perez, 35, was taken into custody in San Diego, California, last week.
Perez, also known as “the witch,” has been dodging an international warrant for aggravated murder in El Salvador.
In 2023, Perez was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly swinging a machete at a man in Monterey, California, but was released under California Governor Gavin Newsom’s soft-on-crime sanctuary policies.
DHS shared, “On March 26, ICE arrested David Antonio Aviles Perez, who has an international warrant for aggravated murder in El Salvador.”
“His criminal history also includes an arrest in 2023 in California for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and petty theft. California’s sanctuary politicians RELEASED this gang member back into California neighborhoods.”
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis added, “ICE arrested this dangerous criminal illegal alien and MS-13 gang member wanted in El Salvador for murder.”
This is a story so unbelievable that it is easy to forget it is reality.
We actually live in a country where Democrat officials knowingly create policies that allow machete-wielding gang members to be released back into your community. It happens so often that it’s hardly more surprising than the morning weather report.
Is this the nation that we want to leave to our posterity?
