When you turn cops into immigration officers (a Federal responsibility) as the President is trying to pressure them into, there will be more crime, more distrust, and more human tragedy. When anyone is afraid to report a crime the criminals will know this and take advantage. The criminals win.
This is why his plan to pressure sanctuary cities is so destructive.
Trump's plan, if enacted, will make us all less safe.
Fortunately the men and women of law enforcement in California who serve our communities understand this and do not want the trust they are working so hard to build with our communities destroyed. They do not want increased crime rates. They want us to trust them so that crimes get reported and I support them in this effort.
The President is misguided...once again.
California police see dangers in Trump's illegal immigration crackdown
President Trump’s plan to enlist local police and sheriff’s departments in immigration enforcement has set the stage for a pitched battle with California officials who have long prioritized building ties with immigrant communities.
Trump’s plan, which was issued Wednesday as part of a pair of executive orders, seeks to broaden the reach of federal immigration authorities into county jails.
