Maine’s Soros-Funded DA Will No Longer Charge Illegal Aliens for Some Traffic Violations

“The focus for us is on problem-solving (making people get legal) and focusing on genuine public safety cases, of which we have plenty,” Sartoris said in the memo.

“If you have other thoughts about resolving our 150% caseload, please feel free to share them,” she said. “At the moment, and for the foreseeable future, this step is prudent, responsive to real-world challenges, and a civil violation is the appropriate response when any of these are the only potential criminal charge.”

Sartoris won her DA gig after a DC-based political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros dumped $300,000 into her election campaign.

That effort was part of a broader campaign by Soros to install politically-aligned DAs who would generally avoid enforcing many laws for the purported purpose of advancing social justice.

Soros-backed DAs have been criticized nationwide for abetting lawlessness in America’s major cities through what’s known as prosecutor nullification.

By refusing to enforce laws against crimes like driving without a license or driving with a suspended license, DAs can effectively nullify laws placed on the books by state legislatures.
