Former Fox News host and current U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has delivered a powerful blow to the city’s far-left sanctuary policies by announcing a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigrants embedded in the criminal justice system. In a bold move that aligns perfectly with President Donald Trump’s mission to restore law and order, Pirro revealed that her office is now working with ICE to verify the immigration status of all defendants—a common-sense measure that should have been implemented years ago.
Pirro didn’t hold back in exposing the outrageous lengths the D.C. City Council has gone to shield illegal immigrants from justice. “Previously, no one even asked. They would just literally go through the system and either be convicted and possibly go to jail and be found not guilty and be released,” she stated. “But the DC City Council has worked very hard to make sure that these individuals avoid any contact with ICE.” This deliberate obstruction by radical leftists has allowed criminals to slip through the cracks, endangering American citizens while prioritizing illegal aliens over public safety.
The liberal media, of course, will spin this as a cruel and unnecessary measure—ignoring the fact that cities like D.C. have become havens for illegal immigrants who commit crimes with near impunity. Pirro’s announcement dismantles their narrative, proving that the Trump administration remains committed to enforcing the law, even in the heart of deep-blue resistance. “We are now trying to identify those illegals who are currently burrowed in our criminal justice system, who’ve identified themselves either as citizens or individuals with actual legal status who do not have status or are illegal,” Pirro declared.
🚨 US ATTORNEY JEANINE PIRRO is now determining the legal status of *every* person who enters the D.C. criminal justice system. If they're illegal, she's turning them over to ICE.
Amazing. This was NOT happening before.

President Trump’s directive to “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful” is finally being put into action, despite years of obstruction from Democrats and their allies in the media. While left-wing outlets paint ICE enforcement as inhumane, Pirro’s efforts highlight the truth: sanctuary policies protect criminals, not communities. The fact that D.C. has allowed illegal immigrants to cycle through the justice system unchecked is a scandal the liberal press would rather ignore.
