Americans are fed up with illegal immigrant crime epidemic, what's next?
Civil rights attorney Robert Patillo and Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton join 'Fox News @ Night' to discuss concerns over the high volume of migrant crime.
An El Salvadoran man accused of killing a Virginia woman during a weekend carjacking was living in the United States illegally, immigration authorities said.

Responding deputies with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office were called around 11:30 a.m. and found Waldecker dead at the scene. Investigators determined she was struck by her own vehicle as the suspected carjacker fled the scene.
Aguilar-Martinez was found and arrested about 45 minutes later. He was taken to a local hospital after appearing to have an unrelated medical condition, the news outlet reported.

ICE has placed a detainer request for him to be handed over to immigration authorities upon his release from local custody.

Some so-called "sanctuary" cities and counties routinely ignore such requests and release illegal immigrants accused of crimes onto the streets.
