Florida CFO Calls for Criminal Liability for Pro-Sanctuary Politicians
Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia is sharpening his criticism of sanctuary immigration policies, arguing that elected officials who support them bear responsibility for crimes committed in jurisdictions with such laws.
Rather than focusing on individual cases, Ingoglia tied his concerns to the idea that policy choices themselves shape outcomes, arguing that elected officials who support sanctuary frameworks should be held accountable for the consequences he believes follow.
“The easiest way to get rid of sanctuary policies is maybe we should start charging the politicians with crimes that vote for the sanctuary policies and make them accessories to whatever crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in those jurisdictions,” Ingoglia said, according to LifeZette.
He expanded on that position by emphasizing what he views as responsibility at the policy level rather than at the level of individual enforcement decisions or isolated incidents.
“Because, to me, they are absolutely complicit in the crime because it never should have happened in the first place. But for those sanctuary policies, but for some, some politician voting, thinking that that’s okay,” Ingoglia said.
