🚨Ramaswamy's Rescue Plan: How Vivek Will Crush Ohio’s Secret "De Facto" Sanctuary Loophole and Restore Law and Order COLUMBUS, Ohio — For years, smooth-talking politicians have looked Ohioans in the eye and claimed our state has zero sanctuary cities. They point to empty bureaucratic lists from the Department of Justice while radical, left-wing bureaucrats in Columbus and Cincinnati quietly undermine our nation’s borders from within. But as Ohio rallies behind Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio Governor, the days of subverting the law through sneaky administrative tricks are officially numbered. Under the failed establishment status quo, deep-state activists have weaponized local government protocols to create "de facto" sanctuaries. They aren't explicitly printing "Sanctuary City" on welcome signs; instead, they are using backroom legal gymnastics to shelter illegal aliens right under our noses. Right now in Franklin, Hamilton, Lorain, and Mahoning counties, local jails are exploiting the so-called "Judicial Warrant Rule." When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues an administrative detainer to hold an illegal alien flagged in our criminal justice system, radical local administrators simply let them walk the moment bail is posted—refusing to cooperate unless a federal judge signs off. Meanwhile, woke city councils in Columbus and Cincinnati have banned local police from entering into 287(g) data-sharing agreements and forbid officers from even asking about immigration status. They are defunding federal enforcement by denying ICE the use of municipal facilities, effectively turning our taxpayer-funded infrastructure against the rule of law. This isn’t just a policy disagreement—it is a total betrayal of Ohio citizens! Ramaswamy has made it clear that a true America First agenda means total non-compliance with the woke agenda and absolute compliance with federal immigration law. While the current legislature stalls on critical enforcement measures like House Bill 26—the Protecting Ohio Communities Act—and House Bill 200, Ramaswamy represents the decisive executive force needed to finally push these mandates over the finish line. As Governor, Ramaswamy will fully back legislative efforts to completely strip state funding from any county or municipality that plays semantic games with ICE detainers. If a local jurisdiction refuses to honor a federal immigration hold, they will immediately lose 10% of their state public funding allocation and be permanently barred from local government grants. No more loopholes. No more "de facto" sanctuaries. Ohioans are tired of weak-kneed leaders who allow left-wing cities to act as safe havens for those who broke the law to get here. Vivek Ramaswamy understands that a country without borders is not a country at all. By backing the protecting Ohio legislation and bringing an uncompromising business mindset to state government, Vivek will defund the lawbreakers, protect Buckeye communities, and ensure that Ohio remains a citadel for legal, hardworking citizens.
