(NewsNation) — The U.S. Border Patrol said on X that it was not turning over a person who had an active warrant in California because of the state’s sanctuary policies.
Border Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino indicated in the post that the unidentified man had overstayed a visa.

Due to sanctuary policies in CA, we aren’t turning him over to local authorities because as we’ve seen many times, this criminal illegal alien will be released back into the country,” the post said.
