ICE going after criminals

I find it quite ironic that Gov. Josh Shapiro is concerned about having detention centers in Pennsylvania as being unsafe but opposes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement catching these illegal immigrants.

I feel that the illegal immigrants that ICE are most concerned with detaining are those that have committed serious crimes in the U.S. Murder, rape and sex crimes are among the worst of the crimes I feel they are most concerned about.

Does Gov. Shapiro think we are safer with these kinds of people free in this country to do as they please? Nothing was said to this extent when President Barack Obama was doing the same thing and 50 people died in ICE custody. These facilities are going through due diligence before being used. Again, it is all about going against President Donald Trump. It’s a shame the left is more worried about that than taking care of their citizens.
