Why would anyone in their right mind choose to abandon an operation that targets illegal aliens who have been convicted of sex crimes?
It likely won’t surprise anyone to hear that the Biden administration has done just that.
Operation Talon, a nationwide program aimed at sex offenders who are in the U.S. illegally, went into effect shortly before former President Donald Trump left office. It was canceled at the end of January by the new regime.
The move to eliminate the program essentially protects deviants from the prosecution they would have been subject to had Operation Talon remained in place.
On Thursday, eighteen state attorneys general sent a letter to President Joe Biden, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tae Johnson, requesting that they reverse this senseless decision and reactivate Operation Talon.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt wrote the letter which was signed by the attorneys general of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
The letter states, “The cancellation of this program effectively broadcasts to the world that the United States is now a sanctuary jurisdiction for sexual predators. This message creates a perverse incentive for foreign sexual predators to seek to enter the United States illegally and assault more victims, both in the process of unlawful migration and after they arrive. It will also broadcast the message to other criminal aliens who have committed less heinous offenses that any kind of robust enforcement against them is extremely unlikely.”
