Saw this from Judicial Watch:
While the nation was preoccupied celebrating the holidays, the governors of two major states pardoned immigrants convicted of serious crimes to shield them from deportation. First, California Governor Jerry Brown pardoned two men on the verge of being deported for committing crimes in the U.S., according to a Sacramento news report. Days later, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo pardoned 18 immigrants convicted of serious crimes so they could remain in the country. The foreigners had obtained legal immigration status in the United States but committed such abhorrent crimes that they faced removal after the completion of their criminal sentence. An official statement issued by the governor’s office refers to the pardoned as “contributing members of society” who face the “threat of deportation and other immigration-related challenges” as a result of their crimes.

So, let me get this straight ... police in the US can break down the doors of a church to arrest a suspect (i.e. churches in the US are no longer places of sanctuary), but people CONVICTED OF SERIOUS CRIMES are to be given sanctuary by the state?
Sounds insane to me. Is this anything other than a vote seeking stunt? And if it is, how is it more acceptable than anything President Trump wants to do?
