This is an absolute outrage. Denver, get your head out of your butt. It’s time for POTUS to act on that city and stop their funds. If I were the parent/spouse of the victim, I would be in civil court immediately suing the city for billions, not millions. And what is even worse is their rationale for releasing him, a known felon. Where is all this going to end? In a civil war?
Ever Valles, 19, was first arrested in October in Denver, on charges of possessing a weapon, vehicle theft, and eluding a police officer.
Because Valles was a “known gang member” who had been flagged by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The federal government issued an order to the Denver Sheriff’s Department, telling them to notify immigration authorities before they released him.
But Denver, a so-called “sanctuary city,” failed to notify ICE until about an hour after Valles was released on December 20. By then, it was too late.
Two months later, Valles murdered a 32-year-old man, Tim Cruz. Valles and an accomplice wore masks and backpacks, and robbed Cruz at gunpoint outside a Denver light rail station. During the robbery, one of the two men shot and killed Cruz.
Valles was arrested two days later. He was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated robbery.
In a statement, the city of Denver refused to admit they did anything wrong. They claimed they released Valles because being an illegal immigrant is a “civil matter”—while stressing that they “never and will never advocate for felons to remain on our streets—immigrants or not.”

Maybe I’m extreme, but isn’t there a way to declare these illegal criminals “enemy combatants” and just shoot them?!!! I’m sick to death of these stories and sick of tax dollars going to support them in prison. They aren’t even citizens!
Go get ’em Hazel, I love it!
This “sanctuary city” excuse makes me sick! Americans should be doing whatever they can..including law enforcement..to protect their country! It is absolutely an act of “sedition” to not pick up these illegal scumbags and assholes who are here illegally..for whatever excuse they have! Any state or federal asshole who is not upholding the law is a coward..and is a treasonous piece of crap!
Agreed Jack! The only way to get them on board is to hit their pocket books, cut off federal funding.
