Sic Semper Tyrannis

The problem is all inside your head, she said to me The answer is easy if you take it logically I’d like to help you in your struggle to feel free Must be fifty ways to keep illegals in sanctuary Fifty ways to let the criminals neighbors stay She said it’s really not my habit to intrude Furthermore I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being rude Must be fifty ways to keep illegals in sanctuary Fifty ways to let the criminals neighbors stay You just drop the detainer, Mayor Release him on the street, Pete Don’t call ICE tonight, Dwight Just let him go free Skip the rap sheet, Chief Give him bail relief, Steve No third-country send, friend And set him loose to spree He slipped across the border back in twenty-twelve, you see Sierra Leone native with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt Thirty-plus arrests and counting — rape, malicious wounding, assault on the beat Drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a piece Pickpocketing kids, contributing to the delinquency — he’s a one-man crime spree But hey, sanctuary city says “welcome home, no worries, we’ll set you free” You just ignore the warrant, Warren Keep the killer warm then, Jason Vote no cooperation, son And watch the body count climb He stabs her at the bus stop, Lee Stephanie Minter, forty-one, neck sliced clean Found dead with multiple wounds to the upper body scene While you’re tweeting “ICE is mean” and “this is all a dream” He had a detainer lodged in twenty-twenty, nice and neat Judge gave a final order of removal — any country but Sierra Leone, sweet But Fairfax County jail just shrugged and hit delete Let him walk right out the gate, no heads-up to the feds on the street Now he’s got fresh charges same day — murder plus petit larceny neat Less than twenty-four hours after Spanberger’s big speech on repeat You just drop the detainer, Mayor Release him on the street, Pete Don’t call ICE tonight, Dwight Just let him go free Hop on the bus, Gus Don’t discuss much, Russ Drop off the key, Lee And set the next one free Governor Spanberger signed that order with a flourish and a grin Repealed the old Republican rule — no more helping ICE roll in Local cops and state troopers now free to just pretend That a career illegal with thirty priors is somebody else’s problem, amen Fairfax has the habit — remember that Salvadoran guy last year? Killed a man one day after they ignored the detainer, same old cheer You just shrug at the history, Mystery Keep the cycle spinning, Lynn Blame the system, not the sin, Quinn And let the next victim spin He’s dangerous, the camera said, “call police if he’s seen” Business owner spots him quick, turns him in like a good machine But without the detainer honored, he’d still be out causing more scenes Your policies are the gasoline on the fire, know what I mean? You just ignore the order, Porter Keep the murderer warmer, Farmer No third-country charter, Carter And set him loose to harm her Skip the notification, Station Give the violent one vacation, Nation Sanctuary celebration, Station While the families mourn, son Thirty arrests? No big deal, Neal One more stabbing at the wheel? Just “feels” Your sanctuary seal conceals the real Next headline’s coming, real appeal He entered in ’12, still here in ’26 Fairfax County’s got the fix Spanberger’s bag of tricks keeps the cycle alive and kicks The next innocent woman fixed You just drop the detainer, Mayor Release him on the street, Pete Don’t call ICE tonight, Dwight Just let him go free Skip the rap sheet, Chief Give him bail relief, Steve No third-country send, friend And set him loose to spree…
