Tulare County Court Commissioner Mikki Verissimo of California signed an order to release two suspected drug traffickers recently arrested with 150,000 fentanyl pills in their possession, Fox News confirmed Tuesday.
Officials arrested Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, during a traffic stop on Friday and transported them to the Tulare County Pre-Trial Facility on charges of possession, transportation and selling of illegal drugs, but they were released over the weekend.
The Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital that it was “not involved with or agree with the decision to release these individuals.”
“The time in which they were released was after their arrest and prior to police reports being submitted to our office. Through a risk assessment by the county probation department, they were released by a judicial officer,” Ward’s office said.
Sheriff Mike Boudreaux also expressed concern with the suspects’ release, telling Fox News’ “The Story” on Tuesday that he only learned of an order to release Zendejas and Madrigal “until it was far too late.”
“This assessment was done behind the scenes, basically without ever contacting me as the sheriff or even asking me what I believe the risk to our public safety would be,” he said. “I could not believe that we had 150,000 fentanyl pills — one of the most dangerous epidemics that is facing our nation today — with people in custody, that we may potentially be able to impact the future of this type of drug trafficking organization and or cartels in California — in my county — and we let them go.”
He continued: “California’s system of justice is failing us all. … Law enforcement up and down the state of California is frustrated. We want to hold people to their justice and hold them accountable for the crimes that they commit. But Proposition 47 and 57 — through Governor Newsom and the legislators in California who are really soft on crime — allowing people like this to be released from our facilities, we have no control over that. And for law enforcement leaders in California, it’s incredibly frustrating when we are responsible for public safety.”
Bordeaux went on to say that the record-breaking flow of migrants coming into the United States through the southern boarder is part of the reason fentanyl is coming into the country and creating danger “to the quality of life.”
It’s obvious now that this is intentional destruction of the country, especially leftist states. They want these leftists to leave their dumps and migrate to the rest of the country spreading like locusts.
