President Trump’s administration faces a stark reminder of its mission as a brutal crime rocks Inglewood, California. Two illegal aliens—Wilber Alberto Rabanales from Guatemala and Jose Christian Saravia Sanchez from El Salvador—were arrested Friday for allegedly murdering Juan Sanchez on February 25. Sanchez confronted them during a catalytic converter theft, paying with his life.

The suspects aren’t new to trouble. Law enforcement sources report each has over a dozen arrests in Los Angeles County in recent years, thriving in a sanctuary city that shields illegals from ICE. Rabanales and Saravia Sanchez, nabbed after a March 6 search warrant hit a Cudahy motel, now face murder charges—but conservatives ask why they were free to kill.

Trump’s been clear—he’s deporting threats like these. His Tuesday address to Congress, earning 82 percent approval per CBS, promised mass deportations and border walls, slashing illegal crossings from Biden’s 10,000 daily to 300. This killing, conservatives say, is what happens when sanctuary policies let criminals roam.

Juan Sanchez’s sister, Susana, mourned a “big man of faith” who “never missed mass on Sunday.” He died protecting his neighbor’s property, shot down by men who shouldn’t have been here. Posts on X from Trump’s base rage at California’s leniency, demanding ICE take over where local leaders fail.

The crime wave’s real—catalytic converter thefts have spiked nationwide, jacking up insurance rates. Government data from September 2024 shows over 155,000 migrants convicted or charged with traffic offenses, including 77,074 undetained with convictions. Conservatives tie this to Biden’s open borders; Trump’s slamming them shut.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s already on it. She’s repurposed the CBP One app into CBP Home, pushing self-deportation, and deported 11,000 in 18 days. ICE is ramping up, with Guantanamo prepped for tens of thousands more. This murder lights a fire under that effort—Republicans won’t let it slide.

Sanctuary cities like Los Angeles are the battleground. They’ve dodged ICE detainers, letting Rabanales and Saravia Sanchez rack up arrests without consequence—until now. Trump’s cutting their federal funds, and conservatives cheer: no more safe havens for killers.

The heartland’s had enough. Posts on X call this “Biden’s legacy”—crime unchecked, citizens dead. Trump’s base sees his border crackdown as a vow kept—deport these threats, secure America. Republicans say it’s not just justice for Juan Sanchez; it’s a fight to take the country back from lawless invaders.
