Tancredo urges victims' kin to sue Newark over policy Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 08/21/07 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK — A lesser-known presidential candidate is urging the families of three young murder victims to consider suing Newark for negligence, saying the city's lax immigration policy is at least partially to blame for the execution-style slayings. The candidate, conservative Republican Tom Tancredo of Colorado, brought his immigration-themed presidential campaign to the steps of City Hall on Monday, where he denounced the city's policy of not involving itself in immigration matters. "I am encouraging the families of the victims to pursue the option of a lawsuit in light of this culpability," Tancredo said, criticizing Newark's status as a so-called "sanctuary city" for immigrants. Newark, like many other cities including Los Angeles and Chicago, does not require police officers to check the immigration status of the people they arrest or to report illegals to federal authorities. In the case of Jose Carranza, one of six suspects in the Newark killings, federal authorities were never told about the illegal Peruvian immigrant despite two prior brushes with the law. He was indicted twice this year on charges of child rape and aggravated assault, but was released on bail both times despite being in the country illegally. Mayor Cory A. Booker, who has said involving city police in immigration matters would hurt relationships between police and the immigrant community, repeated that contention Monday. app.com * * *
