From Fox News: A blue state governor who pledged to fight Trump administration deportation efforts expressed outrage Monday after a migrant was allegedly caught with nearly $1 million worth of drugs and an AR-15 rifle at a hotel that is being temporarily used as a shelter.
“It’s outrageous that this individual took advantage of our shelter system to engage in criminal activity,” Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey said in a statement.
Healey was responding to news of Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, a native of the Dominican Republic, facing firearm and drug trafficking charges while using the state’s shelter system. The suspect, 28, was found at a Quality Inn in Revere, Massachusetts, which currently serves as a shelter.
Sanchez was allegedly caught possessing ammunition, large-capacity magazines, fentanyl, and cocaine with “an estimated street value of at least $750,000,” Boston 25 News reported.
Sanchez reportedly crossed the border illegally last year and acquired an ID from the New York shelter system. He is being held without bail, after a Chelsea District Court judge deemed him to be dangerous.
Fox News quotes Gov. Healey as saying: “I’ve ordered an inspection of all shelter units, beginning with the Revere site, and a full review of our intake processes to determine any additional steps that we can take to prevent criminal activity in shelters. This further underscores our broken federal immigration system and the urgent need for Congress and the White House to act on a border security bill to prevent criminals from entering our communities. The people of Massachusetts should not continue to have to deal with the impacts of federal inaction.”
In August 2023, Healey literally asked local residents to house illegal alien families in their HOMES as shelters were filling up.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared the following:
Per law enforcement sources, a Dominican illegal alien was arrested by police in Revere, MA on Friday inside of a MA taxpayer funded migrant hotel after he was found in possession of 5 kilos of fentanyl & cocaine & a AR-15. I’m told he entered US illegally as a gotaway last year & also had an ID on him for the NYC shelter system.
Per sources, Leonardo Andujar Sanchez faces a slew of charges related to firearms and narcotics, and ICE has placed a detainer request on him with Revere PD, a department that cooperates with ICE and does not have sanctuary policies.
