On April 20, 1999, the nation’s attention was fixed on a shooting massacre that occurred at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 students and one teacher. That same day, in the small southern Minnesota town of Waseca, another horror was unfolding: Jayme Larson, 16, returned home from school to find the body of her 12-year-old sister, Cally Jo, stabbed, sexually assaulted and left hanging in the stairwell of their bungalow.

It took police nearly a year to find the man who would be convicted. He turned out to be Lorenzo Bahena Sanchez, a Mexican citizen in the United States illegally who is now serving a life sentence in Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater. The soonest he could be released on parole is 2030. The review process will begin in early 2027, and Cally’s family has vowed to fight every step of the way.

Cally’s loved ones now have a new terror: Under the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement effort, Sanchez might be turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, deported and sent elsewhere, perhaps to his native Mexico, where he might walk free....

“We do not care if he was born here or born in Mexico, he committed a crime here. He needs to finish his sentence here — where we know exactly where he is and we know that he won’t hurt anyone else,” Chad wrote Tuesday. “We want him to take his last breath in a Minnesota prison. When he is up for parole in about a year, we will be there demanding he remain in prison. Until that time, we are seeking confirmation that he will never be turned over to ICE for deportation.”

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pledged to deport the “worst of the worst” immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, calling out rapists, murderers and other felons. Sanchez would certainly appear to fall into that category.

That, however, is what terrifies Cally’s family. According to Schnell, there is an active ICE detainer on Sanchez — an order for him to be turned over to federal authorities.....

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin pointed out, in response to an inquiry by The Washington Post, that the way detainers — such as the one that applies to Sanchez — work is that “the criminals serve their time and then are turned over to ICE. They aren’t taken out prematurely before they serve their time.”

But in an interview, Schnell said handing over incarcerated inmates to ICE is indeed a new policy that is being sought by border czar Tom Homan and top officials, as part of ongoing negotiations that could lead to the withdrawal of the surge of thousands of enforcement personnel in Minneapolis.

“We’ve been asked to release people from our custody who are actively serving sentences, and that’s not something that we have an interest in doing,” Schnell said.

The administration’s desire to take custody of prisoners who are here illegally has also been expressed publicly by top Trump officials on a number of occasions.

To bring about “a clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing last week, “number one, Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation.”

Sorry. Killers should serve their sentences before being deported. You kill someone here, you should be executed or get life without parole. Period. No going back home to hang with your bros, f your woman, and hang out on the beach all day drinking rum.

I'm all for honoring detainers on those arrested sitting in county and city jails. However, if it's a serious crime, they need to do the time and do it here before they are deported .
