I said it on Tuesday’s show, and after all the research I’ve done, it certainly appears that we can now tie the assault of a rape survivor in White Center to Jay Inslee and Bob Ferguson — very, very directly.

This is the most damning indictment yet of the sanctuary state policy that was signed into law by Inslee a few weeks ago.

And by the way, I’ve talked to sheriffs in Spokane County and elsewhere who will not honor the sanctuary policy, because they have taken an oath to defend the United States Constitution; they will not uphold a sanctuary policy that is so clearly unconstitutional, and that does not allow law enforcement to work with federal agencies to detain and deport illegal immigrants who commit serious crimes.

Now because of this, it appears that a rape survivor has been much further forced to suffer by the actions of Jay Inslee, Bob Ferguson, Dow Constantine, Jenny Durkan, and all of the politicians who push for these sanctuary policies.

We told you a lot about this story on Tuesday’s show. A 35-year-old man named Francisco Carranza-Ramirez imposed his way into the life of a 32-year-old White Center mother who is in a wheelchair. He raped her twice in a few days. He was charged only with third-degree rape, which is analogous to date rape. The rape survivor has said that this was nothing like date rape — it was forcible penetration.

But given that we play “Human Roulette” here, a judge decided to let the guy go last week with time already served, nine months. In a decision that shows the outrage of sanctuary, the judge said that she would release the man, as long as he agreed to fly down to California and cross the border into his native Mexico.

Now, is he an illegal immigrant? Nobody will say, because nobody is allowed to ask. Law enforcement officers I’ve talked to are not allowed to ask. It’s part of the effort to shield from the public the horrible consequences of sanctuary. But I think it’s fair to deduce that if a condition of his release was that he would go back to his native Mexico, he is most likely an illegal immigrant.

Well, guess what? The convicted rapist apparently was not an honorable person. Despite the judge ordering this guy to go back to Mexico, he did not do so. What did he do instead? Two days after his release from jail, he went back to the apartment of the woman he had raped. According to charging papers, the rape survivor had a protection order against him. But he allegedly brutally attacked her. According to police documents, he pushed her out of her wheelchair, tried to strangle her, and told her he would kill her. Thankfully, passersby intervened to stop him, but he ran off and is still at large, believed to be somewhere in or near White Center.

Hey, Jay Inslee, Bob Fergsuon, Dow Constantine, Jenny Durkan — assuming Carranza-Ramirez is here illegally, if that judge could have contacted federal immigration authorities and had ICE come get this guy, instead of taking him at his word that he would head back to Mexico, he could have been held in the federal detention center in Tacoma and then been flown back to Mexico. This wheelchair-bound young mother would not have had to face her rapist as he was assaulting her again.

How in the world can you look yourselves in the mirror when you know that your political games of sanctuary — which help you galvanize money and power — further terrorize a young woman who has already undergone so much? You could have stopped this.

We’ve got to throw our wheelchair-bound moms to the wolves and protect the illegal immigrants who commit rape. Am I cynical about politics? You’d better believe I am. Because it is filled with people who nauseate me.
