"Sanctuary Betrayal: The Hidden Epidemic of Illegal Alien Crime and America’s Forgotten Victims" by Mollie DeVine is a hard-hitting exposé that uncovers the devastating consequences of sanctuary policies in the United States. Drawing on a conservative perspective emphasizing law and order, national security, and the rule of law, DeVine argues that these policies—intended to protect immigrant communities—have instead created safe havens for criminal illegal aliens, leading to widespread violence, economic ruin, and untold suffering for American citizens.

The book begins with a foreword calling for national awakening, followed by ten chapters that systematically dismantle the "sanctuary deception." DeVine traces the origins of sanctuary movements from 1980s church-based activism to their proliferation in over 500 cities and states today, highlighting how they defy federal immigration enforcement and enable repeat offenders. Using data from sources like the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), she breaks down alarming statistics: over 458,000 criminal noncitizens arrested in Texas alone since 2011, with tens of thousands of convictions for assaults, homicides, and more. Nationally, DeVine estimates illegal alien crimes victimize up to 100,000 Americans annually, including underreported cases of murder, rape, human trafficking, property crimes, and drug-related devastation tied to cartels and fentanyl.

High-profile case studies bring the human toll to life, focusing on "forgotten victims" like Kate Steinle, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray—innocent Americans killed in preventable acts of violence due to ignored ICE detainers and lax border policies. Beyond murder, chapters explore assaults, sexual violence, child exploitation, economic burdens on taxpayers, and vulnerabilities faced by children, women, and the elderly. DeVine connects these issues to broader crises, such as the drug epidemic and strains on law enforcement, while critiquing underreporting and political motivations that perpetuate the problem.

The manuscript concludes with conservative solutions for ending sanctuary policies, securing borders, and amplifying victims' voices through frontline stories. Appendices provide key statistics, glossaries, and an annotated bibliography for further reference. Raw, unflinching, and rooted in real-world evidence, "Sanctuary Betrayal" is a rallying cry for reclaiming America's safety, challenging readers to confront the betrayal of misguided compassion and demand justice for those whose lives have been shattered. This 196-page manuscript serves as both a damning indictment and a blueprint for change in the ongoing immigration debate.
