Prioritize public safety over prisoner swaps with violent offenders

The image portraying the release of convicted murderer Dahud Hanid Ortiz through a prisoner swap challenges the administration's narrative on deportations. While claiming to expel criminals, this action contradicts that stance by repatriating a brutal killer who took multiple innocent lives. Such actions undermine faith in a fair and justice-based immigration system. I urge prioritizing public safety over political calculations by ending indiscriminate prisoner trades that return violent offenders to our communities. Refocusing deportation policies on those who truly threaten our society would restore integrity to the process.
