Because of this sanctuary judge’s actions, an American woman has suffered a horrific crime that NEVER should have happened. Marcotulio Melendez Diaz, a Honduran illegal alien, allegedly raped a woman inside her Minnesota home while working as a handyman. He now faces a first-degree criminal sexual conduct charge. He was released into the United States under the Biden administration in 2024, ICE arrested him, then a Clinton-appointed federal judge ordered him RELEASED.

“horrific crime that NEVER should have happened”

Name Calling 60%

Scapegoating 50%

Attributes a violent crime directly to a judge's actions, blaming a broad category for a harmful outcome.

“Because of this sanctuary judge’s actions”

Appeal to Fear 55%

“raped a woman inside her Minnesota home while working as a handyman”
