Thirty-seven-year-old Hernando Garcia-Morales, an illegal immigrant with prior convictions, is accused of throwing a rock through a school bus window in Teaneck, New Jersey, critically injuring an eight-year-old girl. Despite multiple arrests, New Jerseys sanctuary policies prevented his deportation. Garcia-Morales was apprehended at a homeless encampment, where he claimed the bus was his enemy. The Department of Justice is suing four New Jersey cities for blocking local police from collaborating with federal immigration authorities, as the girls family seeks the toughest charges. This case underscores growing tensions over sanctuary rules and public safety.
