How to use dictates in a sentence?

  1. Claude Arnold:

    Defenders of sanctuary policies say they protect immigrants from deportation and reduce illegal immigrants ’ fear of cops. But critics, including Homeland Security Department officials say releasing illegal immigrant criminals inside the U.S. is dangerous. Claude Arnold, a retired U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, said sanctuary advocates claim immigration enforcement is the exclusive responsibility of the federal government, however enacting laws like the California Trust Act, which dictates how the federal government can enforce the law, contradicts those claims and can be devastating consequences. The murder of 32-year-old Kathlene Steinle’s in June 2015 by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, is a prime example, Claude Arnold said. Steinle was shot dead while strolling on San Francisco’s Embarcadero with her father. The alleged shooter, a felon and five-time deportee, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges, claiming the shooting was an accident. Those responsible for releasing him not long before the shooting despite a federal request to detain him for deportation should also have consequences, Claude Arnold said. When sanctuary jurisdictions like San Francisco County release criminals that officials know are in the U.S. illegally, and those criminals commit heinous crimes, those responsible should be federally prosecuted.

  2. Abed Awad:

    The taking of hostages and demanding ransom goes against the moral dictates of the Koran.

  3. Leslie Miklosy:

    Religion dictates, spirituality invites.

  4. Khalid Albaih:

    I know what will make the father take such extreme measures to try to get his family to safety. I had tears in my eyes. Only a parent would understand, visas are not the cause of the problem, but it's a big part of why thousands are dead at sea and it dictates our movements and freedom.

  5. Derek Chauvins:

    But this gives us hope, this lets us know that there is change on the way if we keep pressing and mashing the gas for people in leadership to pass laws. We need police reform. There's no way the color of your skin or your race dictates how you are policed when in police custody. That's absolutely unacceptable.
