An Illegal Alien Previously Deported Three Times was Blocked from a New Deportation by California's Sanctuary Law.
Now He's Murdered Two Women -- and an Infant Baby

I don't know if Gavin Newsom is the big threat that Democrats are hoping he is.

A deranged illegal migrant, deported from the U.S. three times, is accused in the triple murder of an infant and two other women after California's controversial state sanctuary law obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him, The California Post has learned.

Joaquin Escoto, 28 a Mexican national born in Jalisco, was deported from the U.S. three times and arrested for driving under the influence once before he was arrested again in June for another DUI, a senior law enforcement official told The Post.

On the day of Escoto's DUI arrest in June, which occurred in San Joaquin County, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials requested to be notified of the Modesto resident's release from jail so they could deport him again, according to the official.

But San Joaquin law enforcement officials hogtied by California's contested sanctuary law -- which limits how state and local law enforcement communicates with federal law enforcement -- failed to notify the feds, and Escoto was set free, the official said.

"Safe to say, California law prohibited the jail from complying," said the official, who shared police documents that substantiated his claims with The Post.

Now, less than one year after that request from ICE agents was ignored, Escoto is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the grisly knife slaying in Modesto of an infant and two women, including one with whom he allegedly had a child, according to police.

"Gavin Newsom has the blood of these women and this innocent little baby on his hands. Xavier Becerra is no better and Tom Steyer is even worse," candidate for governor Steve Hilton told The Post.

"These Democrats lecture us about "their values" and how "compassionate" they are while their sick sanctuary extremism sets monsters like this free to murder and terrorize our communities," Hilton said, "Enough is enough: this insanity must end, and it will on Day One when I am governor," he added.

Newsom has long championed the state's sanctuary laws, though he has opposed legislation that would further expand them.
