Seattle has lost a significant Microsoft conference due to the city’s escalating issues with homelessness, open drug use, and other criminal activities. In addition to canceling next year’s event, Microsoft has decided to “release holds for all future years.”
In the meantime Seattle's new police chief said he will do everything in his power to protect the homeless citizen and drug attic.
“These sanctuary city politicians are endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens,” said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “We are exposing these sanctuary politicians who harbor criminal illegal aliens and defy federal law. President Trump and I will always put the safety of the American people first. Sanctuary politicians are on notice: comply with federal law.”
Each jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non-compliance and all potential violations of federal criminal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens.
