Illegal Alien Charged with Murder of Son, Sanctuary Policy Under Scrutiny

A man, Brian Treyes Estrada, accused of murdering his six-year-old son last week, found protection from federal immigration enforcement due to California’s sanctuary state policy, which is supported by Governor Gavin Newsom and other state Democrats.

Treyes Estrada has been charged with second-degree murder and intentional harm to a child by the Paso Robles Police Department. The incident occurred on May 10, when he allegedly left his son in a parked car for several hours. The child was found with a severe fever and later died at Twin City Hospital.

San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow stated that Treyes Estrada would have been deported if not for California’s sanctuary policy. He expressed his frustration, saying, “I’m angry that this boy has passed away. Even more so knowing this child’s death could have been prevented.”

Currently charged with second-degree murder, Treyes Estrada will face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Dow revealed that Treyes Estrada had been arrested on unrelated charges on April 29 and was booked at San Luis Obispo Prison. However, due to his illegal status, he was released because the sanctuary law prevented his detention by authorities.

If he had been properly detained, Dow claims, Treyes Estrada’s son might still be alive.

Dow has called on Newsom and the National Democrats to reconsider California’s sanctuary policies.

This week, Treyes Estrada pleaded not guilty and remains in police custody. Reports have surfaced further detailing his past behavior, indicating he had a history of leaving his son in the car while he worked. Child Welfare Services had received reports about him at least twice, but it remains unclear what actions, if any, were taken against him.
