Sheriff Scott Jones: California's sanctuary state policies allowed deadly church shooting to happen

As reported by ABC 10

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Nearly a week following the deadly church shooting in Sacramento that saw a father kill his three daughters and a man chaperoning a supervised visiting before turning the gun on himself, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones is pointing to U.S. immigration policies and California’s Sanctuary State Laws to blame.

"They’ll call me racist and evil," Jones wrote in a Facebook post. "But let me be perfectly clear, there is only ONE thing that allowed this horrific tragedy to occur with certainty: the deplorable state of our national immigration policies, and California’s Sanctuary State Laws."

Jones went on to say in the post, "liberals and activists will try and spin the narrative, dredge up sympathy for the monster that killed them, and talk about how this could have been prevented."

He then hits home the point that the shooter — David Mora — was in this country illegally.

"Because of California’s Sanctuary State laws, the jail is prohibited from accepting the detainer or communicating with ICE, so he walked out of jail a free man," Jones wrote. "Free to kill four people five days later."
