Deportation is not a guarantee an individual will not return to the country and is more of a civil procedure, she said. But victims are entitled to see justice served and gain closure in their cases.

"My job as a prosecutor is to make sure the punishment is appropriate for the crime they have done," she said. "If I have someone who is violent, whether it be murder or a sex crime, I think it’s irresponsible to say I’m going to solve that by having that person deported."

Deporting those accused of violent crimes instead of bringing them before the criminal justice system leaves people in their home countries just as vulnerable.

"If I decide to have the person deported after they’ve committed a violent crime," she continued, "I’m giving them the opportunity to go back to where they came from and potentially have them victimize someone there."
Where did you go to school, stupid person? Your job is to deport them and notify the home country that they are a criminal. Give them the details of their crime (s) here so authorities in their home country can keep an eye on them. That's it. We don't want these people in our country and that includes in our jails.
