@GuntherEagleman is covering a tragedy sanctuary politics made worse.

Bridgeport Officer Cooper Whiteside, 38, and Brittany Islami, 34, a mother of three, were k*lled head-on in Danbury. The driver charged, Melissa Ramirez-Romero, is in the country illegally. ICE lodged a detainer. Big shoutout to @GuntherEagleman go give him a follow!

Her blood alcohol was 0.14, nearly twice the limit. She also tested positive for cannabis. She crossed the double yellow at 63 in a 45. Connecticut is a sanctuary state. Its Trust Act limits when local police can work with ICE. A cop is dead. Three kids lost their mother. And the state’s politicians are still arguing about cooperation with the people trying to deport her.
