Woman Blames Sanctuary Policies For Rape And Murder Of Grandmother By Illegal Alien

The granddaughter of a 92-year-old woman who was allegedly raped and murdered in New York City last month has blamed sanctuary policies for her death.

President Donald Trump invited Daria Ortiz, 19, one of victim Maria Fuertes grandchildren, onto the stage to speak during a border security event at the White House on Feb. 14, where she told the audience that her grandmother would still be alive if it wasnt for the controversial policy.

A visibly emotional Ortiz began her speech by telling the audience that her grandmother had legally immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic and was a “very generous and educated woman” who “dedicated her time to helping others.”

“She is a shining example of when people come legally to this country, work hard and do the right thing, and are law-abiding citizens,” Ortiz said through tears. “Unfortunately, my grandmother had to be example of why something like this, [these] horrific crimes, should never happen,”

“Our families hope is that her death was not in vain and that preventative measures are put into place to ensure that nothing like this ever happens to anyone again. The tragedy in all of this is that this could have been avoided had there been no sanctuary law. The tragedy is my grandmother is not ever going to be here again.”

“The man that is responsible for this should never have had the opportunity to do this, had his multiple offences not been ignored. The system not only failed our family, but they failed our city.”

Ortizs grandmother, Maria Fuertes, was sexually assaulted and killed in January as she walked near her home in Queens, according to officials.

A 21-year-old Guyanese national, Reeaz Khan, was arrested by the NYPD on Jan. 10 and charged with murder, sexual abuse, contact by forcible compulsion, and sexual abuse of Fuertes.

He had previously been apprehended in November on charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon after allegedly beating up his father.

However, Khan was later released despite immigration officials filing a “detainer” request with the NYPD asking that he be turned over for deportation.

At the time of his arrest in January, Matthew Albence, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told reporters at a press conference in New York that the so-called “sanctuary policies” of the city where to blame for Fuertess death.

“Make no mistake, it is this citys sanctuary policies that are the sole reason this criminal was allowed to roam the streets freely and end an innocent womans life,” Albence said.

“These policies, plain and simple, both here and elsewhere in the country, make all of us less safe, which is the opposite of what the primary goal of what every law enforcement officer, every agency, and every elected official should be.”

Albence added that Fuertess death could have been prevented if city officials had complied with a federal request to turn over Khan for deportation. The NYPD, however, disputed those claims and said it didnt obtain a “detainer in regard to this individual.”
