Innocent or guilty

The case of Coffin v. United States (1895) established the presumption of innocence of persons accused of crimes and this is commonly referred to as innocent until proven guilty. Many have used this to challenge those locked up awaiting trial. Some sanctuary cities are now using this to defy federal authorities access to people held in local jails. The mayor of New York recently announced that he would not turn over suspects to ICE because they have not been proven guilty of a crime. If that is the way the courts rule then anyone arrested would be free to go home until such time as they were found guilty at their trial. This is similar to what has been happening to those who illegally cross the border. They are arrested and then allowed to go free and expected to show up at some later court date. Many say that if it is good enough for illegals it should be good enough for citizens.
