Brandon Gill unloads on Democrats over illegal immigrant charged with raping teen: 'Collateral damage'

Meanwhile, Gill slammed the response to the Maryland case, predicting, "The left will read this and feel absolutely nothing" because "they simply don't care how many Americans are r@ped and killed by illegal aliens."

"So, I will work with all partners, particularly when it comes to dealing with violent offenders, removing them from our communities, and making sure that they are accountable. And that includes - and that includes our federal partners when it comes to immigration services," he said, before continuing, "But here's the other thing that I do know that, when I look at ICE, ICE was an agency that was funded at $10 billion. Now ICE's budget is over $85 billion. ICE is larger than the FBI. ICE is larger than the ATF. ICE's budget is larger than the state of Maryland. And they are also using that to put unaccountable and unqualified people in our communities that are doing things like arresting five-year-olds."

"So, I will work to make sure that our communities are safe and address violent criminals everywhere they are," he said.

Meanwhile, Republican New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino commented on the case by criticizing Democrats' response. She posted on X, "Just to be clear, this animal was let across the border by Joe Biden, came to New York where he sexually assaulted a minor, was released thanks to our sanctuary and decarceration policies, and made his way to Maryland where he raped ANOTHER minor while working as an [sic] cab driver."

Paladino charged that "Democrats will call you insane and bigoted for caring about this."

"There is absolutely no amount of rape, murder, or violence that will get Democrats to change anything. This is the status quo to them, and they just don't care," she wrote, adding, "Open borders and total decarceration. That's the core of the DSA-led Democrat party. And they will stand on top of a pile of bodies, look you straight in the eye, smirk, and tell you we're 'safer' because of it."

Fox News Digital reached out to Moore and Casar for additional comment.

According to DHS, Dia was allowed into the country after entering through Lukeville, Arizona, on Dec. 21, 2023. Fox News was on the ground in Lukeville on that day and took footage of long lines of immigrants being allowed into the U.S.
