**Chaos Unleashed: Sanctuary Policies Bring Crime to Washington**

In a shocking display of the failures of sanctuary city policies, an illegal immigrant brazenly stole the purse of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem while she dined in Washington, D.C.

The suspect, Mario Bustamante-Leiva, a Chilean national, had a troubling history of thefts, including previous arrests in New York City and even a shoplifting spree across London.


Just weeks before targeting Noem, Bustamante-Leiva was apprehended for stealing a fanny pack in Times Square.

Despite this criminal activity, New York's sanctuary policies allowed him to slip through the cracks of the justice system, resulting in his release with a mere desk appearance ticket.

This means that even though he was in the country illegally, authorities were barred from notifying federal immigration services.

Former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Bederow noted, “Years ago, people would be held on ICE detainers if somebody was known to be in the country unlawfully and committed crimes. These kinds of crimes would not be committed if the policies were stronger."

On Easter Sunday, Bustamante-Leiva capitalized on the lax enforcement of immigration laws, stealing Noem’s Gucci purse, which contained not just cash but also sensitive identification and personal effects.

This incident underlines the dangerous consequences of soft-on-crime policies that prioritize illegal aliens over the safety of law-abiding citizens.

With the worst of modern immigration practices on full display, it raises pressing questions about the efficacy of current policies and their impact on public safety.

The need for stronger enforcement and a reevaluation of sanctuary city laws has never been clearer.

As Americans grapple with rising crime rates in cities governed by such policies, it becomes imperative that decisive action be taken to safeguard communities and restore order.
