Sanctuary Policies Blamed After Another Charlotte Stabbing
“Sanctuary-style non-cooperation policies have turned North Carolina into a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens, and Charlotte is now paying the price.”
North Carolina is facing its second major light-rail stabbing in three months, and once again, the suspect is an illegal alien who should not have been in the state at all. The latest attack underscores how sanctuary-style limitations on cooperation with ICE are fueling a public-safety crisis that state leaders refuse to acknowledge.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the suspect, Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, is a repeat criminal illegal alien with multiple removals and a long, violent history. DHS makes clear that this tragedy was preventable:
“This heinous stabbing by this twice removed illegal alien should have NEVER happened… Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the county will honor the detainer since they have a history of not cooperating with ICE.”
Solorzano-Garcia had been removed in 2018, again in 2021, and re-entered the United States illegally for the third time. DHS noted that North Carolina counties have repeatedly ignored ICE detainers:
“Nearly 1,400 detainers across North Carolina have not been honored—releasing criminal illegal aliens into North Carolina’s neighborhoods.”
Friday’s stabbing occurred around 4:50 p.m. in Charlotte’s Eastway Division. Local ABC affiliate WTVD reported:
“A man was stabbed in the chest Friday evening on the light rail in Charlotte… CMPD said they identified Oscar Solarzano, 33, as the suspect. Solarzano was arrested shortly after the incident… Magistrate Rebecca Howell ordered Solarzano held without bond, stating that he is in the country illegally and has been deported previously.”
The victim, identified in court documents as Kenyon Doble, remains in unclear condition. Solarzano faces multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder.
This is not an isolated act of violence. ABC11 also noted:
“The stabbing comes three months after a 23-year-old woman was randomly stabbed and killed on a light rail.”
As residents demand answers, the political leadership has offered little more than platitudes. Governor Josh Stein posted on X:
I just spoke with Chief Patterson about the horrific stabbing on the light rail this evening. Please join me in praying for the full recovery of the victim.
I am pleased that Chief Patterson was already surging law enforcement throughout Charlotte with Operation Safe Season,…

But the systemic issue remains: sanctuary-style non-cooperation policies have turned North Carolina into a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens, and Charlotte is now paying the price. Friday’s attack is not a failure of law enforcement. It is a failure of leadership.

Execute the perp. (this) case closed.
WWSGD? What would Sheriff Grady Do?
I looked him up. Ok. Why though?
Sanctuary policies are legal under current constitutional interpretation. The 10th Amendment prohibits the federal government from “commandeering” state or local resources to enforce federal law. If GOP wins big enough at midterms then a Constitutional amendment should be enacted to end this insanity. Otherwise States can use Article V of our Constitution (part 2) expressly granting state legislature authority (bypassing congress) to rebalance the constitutional structure for the purpose of restoring/protecting our founding principles via action of two-thirds of the state legislatures for a Convention for proposing Amendments, which would thereafter also require a three-fourths ratification vote by the states, to outlaw Sanctuary Cites & States, and even remove the insane 1st Amendment protection of Islam as it is a clear enemy of our Constitution. 1st Amendment must not be a suicide pact.
Congress can’t enact an amendment. It can only propose one to the states — and it can only do that with a 2/3 majority in each house. There is no possible scenario in which the GOP wins 2/3 of each house in 2026. So there’s no way to even propose an amendment without getting significant Democrat support.
Then once proposed it would have to be passed by both houses of 38 state legislatures. There’s no way that could happen without significant Democrat support either.
There you go: stating fact again. Stop it!
/must I?
I meant about Congress passing Amendments.
Oops, let’s try that again.

There is no such thing as bypassing Congress. Not even all 50 states can call a constitutional convention; only Congress can do that. Two thirds of the state legislatures can apply to Congress to call one, but Congress can ignore their application without any consequences.
If you repeal the 1st amendment you will have destroyed the USA. The USA will have already committed suicide without waiting for the Moslems to do it for us. Also, the exact same argument will be made to repeal the 2nd amendment, and that would get a lot more support. You cannot make an argument for repealing the 1st and not the 2nd, or for amending the 1st to allow “reasonable common-sense regulation” and not the 2nd. And just as repealing the 2nd would justify an armed revolt, so would doing so to the 1st.
If 34 states (two-thirds) pass valid applications for a Convention of States under Article V, Congress is constitutionally obligated to call the convention. Congress cannot legally ignore or refuse to call it.
“The Congress, … on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments…”
Shall.
Really? No one can force Congress to do anything. If Congress ignores the application, what can the states do about it?
Good grief, read better. Of course I’m NOT calling for a repeal of the entire 1st Amendment, just calling for a sane interpretation wrt to “religions” that are mortal enemies of the Constitution and its freedoms given – that’s Islam in spades. Constitutional enemies should not be so protected just because they want to be called a “religion.”
And yes we should want our Congress to propose to the states a constitution change in regard to insane sanctuary policies, and the States can even bypass congress on their own as the Article V indicates – granted very difficult, esp with our enemy democrat party resisting.
Banning Islam would be a total repeal of the first amendment. The idea that Islam is not a religion is just an outright deliberate lie. No one, not even you, believes it.
There is not the slightest possible question that the people who adopted the first amendment did consciously regard Islam as a religion, just as valid as Judaism, Hinduism, and all other non-Christian religions. They said so, repeatedly. And the general public had the same understanding. “Reinterpreting” it to exclude Islam would be the same as doing so to exclude “hate speech”, or “reinterpreting” the 2nd amendment to exclude handguns, the 5th to deny due process to people accused of particularly heinous crimes, the 6th to allow convictions by a majority of jurors, etc. Such “reinterpretations” would destroy the entire structure.
And no, the states can’t bypass Congress. Only Congress can call a convention.
Even it’s officially a “religion” (it’s an obvious fraud created for Arab unity during conquests) it is a violently hostile religion antithetical to our Constitution, opposed to freedom of speech, women’s rights, calls for execution of apostates & blasphemers, child marriage (with sex), & many other evils. It’s Qur’an is an open declaration of war against all non-muslims, a mortal enemy of Western Civilization that it tried to destroy with armies up to its crucial loss at te Battle of Vienna 1683. And of course there can be a constitutional amendment for just improving the interpretation of religious protection part of the 1st A. If you can’t understand Article V clearly maybe see Mark Levin’s Bk “The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic”.
Yes, “hate speech” should be allowed but not suicide. Hopefully SCOTUS can see it’s not just hate speech but an existential threat that needs to be thwarted. I say give such amendment change a try.
The founders were even more aware of all that than you were, and they still explicitly and repeatedly stated that Islam was included in religious liberty.
And any “reinterpretation” of the Bill of Rights is far more likely to start with banning “hate speech” and handguns.
And oh by the way the official booking lists him as ‘White’.
Why am I not surprised…
The good people of Charlotte, NC need to be practicing their Constitutionally protected rights, and carry on said light rail. If you make the sanctuary concept by not requiring ICE to get involved you will have a LOT fewer problems like this.
(And, just maybe, it will also teach the others not vote for communists, like that currently do.)
Yeah, except that you’ll get arrested because the state doesn’t accept that the 2A protects carrying on public transport, and the 7th circuit just officially rejected it. And SCOTUS is unlikely to take it up any time soon.
That light rail system does not screen bags or use metal detectors. One can carry a concealable weapon which would only be used to in a life threatening emergency. As the old maxim states: “Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six.” Even should one get tried, a sympathetic jury would likely acquit. See the Bernard Goetz case. Even in NYC with all the media and establish against him, he got acquitted of the murder charge.
Going full Paul Kersey, a target volunteer could first disable the surveillance cameras before deploying a weapon. Yes even hidden cameras can be disabled if you know how. Going further, volunteers could use an attractive young woman as a target, and then neutralize the threat with lethal force.
At this point ,I find it obvious that the that many state governments will only offer platitudes instead of protection to the public. They favor the criminal over the innocent. Especially if the criminal is a non-white illegal alien. It’s also clear that merely deporting the miscreants doesn’t go far enough. They will return. So either close the border or permanently neutralize the dangerous elements.
Yes, but he was convicted of the unconstitutional “criminal possession” charge, and served 8 months. He was also hit with a ridiculous $43M judgment that has forced him to live in poverty for the rest of his life.
Funny. Josh Stein suddenly thinks thoughts and prayers are meaningful when it’s time for him to answer to violence.
Tattoo on face? Get ready with mace!
State officials need to be criminally charged with malice a forethought due to their non compliance with ice detainers. They know this violence is a inevitable outcome of their refusal to obey the law. If the Federal government can’t hold these people to obey the law we are finished,
There is nothing to charge them with. ICE detainers are requests. There is no law requiring them to comply, and Congress can’t make such a law.
This is how the courts have consistently ruled for the last 200 years and more. They’re not going to change it now.
I’m fully in favor of passing a law that provides that if you’re caught in this country illegally you’ll be automatically sentenced to life in prison without parole. Give everyone 365 days to get their affairs in order before enforcement begins. Once a few thousand aliens are made an example of those remaining will self-deport. I am also in favor of stripping assets from companies that knowingly hire illegals as well.
You might conclude that I’m pretty hard line about this.
And you’d be correct.
Too expensive. DNA them and ban them from ever entering in any way. Then triple down on enforcing borders.
I agree with the asset stripping. I also think there should be jail time. Not sure how to do this in a large corporation but possible with small.
Ban them from running for political office. Any political office.
Should be some penalty for hiring them into government like that recent illegal who became
a school super. Not sure how this would worker.
Need to be some penalties for sheltering illegals too. Churches, Cities, States – I don’t care. You can’t. Period.
No government benefits for illegals. Period. I they apply out they go. If they use hospital out they go afterward.
I’d be happy if they just got the illegals out and those sucking up government benefits. The ones flying under the radar – fine because it’s too much trouble to dig them out.
No. Three hits and a cot at MY expense? Deport them, or… can’t say it here.
IMO the Trump WH should work within the States where cooperation is offered. Clean up there first. Focus kinetic action on the HVT/criminal aliens and in parallel run workplace enforcement operations under a Task force model. Bring ICE but also bring SSA and IRS along with State agencies to enforce unemployment IN, State taxes. Jam up the employers with every possible violation.
That does several things. First it gets numbers up. Second it serves as an example of what’s coming to Blue jurisdictions. Third it refines the process and serves as a ‘proof of concept’. Then begin rolling it out in Blue jurisdictions. In the interim use the authority to set up immigration enforcement checkpoints in the 100 mile ‘border area’ within blue jurisdictions for those which refuse to hand over aliens already in LEO custody to ICE.
If cities want to give sanctuary to Illegal alien criminals, let them. Focusing on cleaning up the other areas until they’re spotlessly clean will cause more and more of the worst of the worst to flee to the sanctuary cities for sanctuary. There they can commit their illegal crimes to their illegal heart’s content.
In essence yes that’s what I’m proposing over the short term with the additional step of ramping up use of CPB checkpoints especially on major routes into/out of those blue jurisdictions….the sanctuary jurisdiction needs to keep their criminal aliens for themselves, no exports to other States allowed if we can prevent it. Such a shame about the economic disruption when every vehicle/every person at blue jurisdiction sea ports, railways, airports, roadways, ferry all gotta go through the narrow confines of the CPB checkpoints. I’m sure the public won’t complain b/c they totes support the sanctuary policies 100% and will happily near a little inconvenience for it.
Thumbs up CommoChief!
Connect the dots.
In my opinion, the country of origin should be included.
This one is from Honduras.
A mere glance at the head and facial structure screams low IQ, poor impulse control and criminality. But academia has brainwashed people that the same eyes that discern the difference between a pit bull and a poodle are faulty when it comes to observing humans.
The brainwashing is so complete that so-called conservatives dare not bring up
the topic, and they indulge in the same preening, self-congratulatory condemnation of those who do as the
leftists whom they supposedly abhor.
