Marine Lance Corporal James Walden III was killed by an illegal alien in a hit-and-run in 2017. The alien, Martin Martinez-Ballinas, should have NEVER been in our nation and has been taken into ICE custody and will be deported. Our prayers are with the family, friends, and loved ones of Lance Corporal Walden.

Reckless sanctuary politicians have turned Maryland into a HAVEN for criminal illegal aliens like this monster who MURDERED his girlfriend. These sanctuary politicians refusal to cooperate with ICE is putting the safety of Americans at risk. Stop protecting criminal illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.
In Maryland, sanctuary politicians REFUSE to cooperate with ICE — and local law enforcement would not have been able to honor our detainer against this criminal. States like Maryland must end their reckless sanctuary policies and work with us to keep criminals like this monster OFF our streets.
