This is one more story that you probably haven’t seen if you live outside of the state where the crime occurred.
Why? It doesn’t fit the national media mob’s view of the world. It is one thing when an illegal alien kills white Americans (ho hum), but heck they sure don’t want to talk about how illegals are killing ‘new American’ people of color.
From local Q13 Fox News (hat tip: Robert):
ICE: Man accused of murdering Seattle father is in US illegally, has long criminal history
Sam Nang Lam, 56, was sleeping on the living room couch when bullets started flying early Nov. 3, killing the father of five.
Seattle police said 25-year-old Julio Cruz-Velazquez was arrested in SeaTac on Nov. 7. He was taken into custody after a traffic stop with assistance from Tukwila Police.
Cruz-Velazquez is charged with first-degree murder. Bail was set at $2 million.
According to U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Cruz-Velazquez has a significant criminal history dating back as far as 2000. The charges included rape, domestic violence, burglary, DUI, malicious mischief, failure to comply and assault.
ICE officials say sanctuary policies, like in King County, block the agency’s ability to do its job.
