Dear Tucsonans, I want to assure you of my commitment to keeping our community safe. I am deeply troubled by President-elect Trump's plans for mass deportation, which I find cruel and immoral. Together with our police chief, we will focus on protecting our residents. Tucson has a history of standing against hate and protecting families from separation. While we lack specific details on how mass deportations will be implemented, we know it will harm children, families, and immigrant communities. Proposition 314, which draws from the harmful SB 1070 law, is a concern for us. We are a compassionate city that values our multi-racial heritage. Justice will prevail.

Public safety is a top priority, and it's essential for mayors and governors to protect their communities. If local leaders cooperate, they can help address public safety threats effectively. There are clear legal boundaries that must not be crossed, particularly regarding federal law enforcement and harboring illegal immigrants. It's crucial for local officials to understand these laws and ensure they do not violate them.

Sanctuary cities will face federal action, including the removal of federal funding, as they hinder law enforcement cooperation with ICE. These cities release public safety threats back into communities, increasing risks for the public and law enforcement. Currently, operations are targeting cities like Chicago. The U.S. military's assistance, including airlift support, is deemed essential for removing detained illegal immigrants, allowing ICE officers to focus on apprehending criminals rather than transportation duties. This collaboration with the Department of Defense will enhance operational efficiency and safety in immigration enforcement.

In Chicago, crime is rampant with people being attacked and shoved into subway trains. Law and order must be restored by giving police their tools and respect. Drug dealers are causing a crime wave, leading to a call for the death penalty for them and human traffickers. Implementing this will reduce crime by 75%. Hiring 1000 more police officers is crucial to putting violent criminals behind bars.

The Croton-on-Hudson Police Department assures the community that their immigration status should not prevent them from seeking assistance. The department will not inquire about immigration status unless relevant to a criminal investigation and is not authorized to question, detain, or arrest anyone based solely on immigration status. The police are required to cooperate with federal immigration authorities when there is probable cause of a criminal offense or a judicial warrant. If arrested, fingerprints are available to state and federal authorities, but immigration status will not delay release. The department pledges open dialogue and fair treatment regardless of national origin, race, gender, sex, religion, disability, or political viewpoint, and encourages residents to reach out with questions or concerns.

We do not enforce immigration laws based on individuals' immigration status, a practice we've maintained for 50 years. Moving forward, I aim to reassure the community, which is understandably anxious due to recent rhetoric. Our primary mission is to protect everyone in our communities. Engaging in immigration enforcement or roundups would undermine that mission.

And I want all of you just to know exactly where we are as far as our neighbors go. Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for undocumented immigrants, for our trans community. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, Minneapolis is a place where you should be proud to call home.

This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left city council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every place in the country where you have no cash bail is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York, and they don't change it. That's what started it in Chicago. No cash bail. We're gonna end that in Chicago. No cash bail. We're gonna change the statute. We're gonna change the statute and get rid of some of the other things, and we'll count on the Republicans in Congress and Senate to vote. We have the majority, so we'll vote. Got that done, and that's one of the greatest things that's ever happened to people in this country.

Chicago leaders are urging residents to resist Trump's deportation policies. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy acknowledged he was hiding someone without full documentation above his garage. The government’s response to this could lead to prosecution for knowingly harboring an illegal alien, as it violates U.S. law. The Trump administration plans to sue sanctuary cities, claiming they protect criminals. An example cited is a case in New York City where a failure to share information led to the death of a child. Sanctuary cities are blamed for numerous deaths, and the administration is prepared to take this issue to the Supreme Court to end their protections. A 2011 study indicated there were 3 million criminal aliens in the U.S.

Criminals being removed from our neighborhoods is a positive step, especially as we face high crime rates. Despite the mayor and governor's claims of declining crime in Chicago, my husband was carjacked just three blocks from the mayor's home. It's frustrating to hear about insensitivity while we deal with our own community issues. The idea of bringing in criminals from elsewhere is unacceptable. I supported President Trump because, as a lifelong Democrat, I’m tired of the same problems persisting without change. I'm pleased to see him delivering on his promises.

In 2019, the US faced divisive rhetoric about immigrants, leading to events like Charlottesville. Immigration and crime should not be equated as data shows no connection. As a local government official for 18 years, I've seen 4 presidencies and many congresses fail to agree on immigration policy's impact on communities.

How much have our cities spent on illegal immigration? In Chicago, we've spent about $79 million since 2022 on all newcomers, regardless of status, which is roughly 1% of our budget. New York City has spent $6.9 billion of taxpayer money on this issue. In Boston, we don't track immigration status when providing city services. I manage my budget well, maintaining a triple-A bond rating for ten years. The Cato Institute generally supports legal immigration. Referencing Milton Friedman's idea, we must choose between open borders and a welfare state. I believe we should prioritize legal immigration and limit the welfare state. America must choose between securing the nation and protecting taxpayers; I choose to secure the nation.

Immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than natural-born citizens. Statistically, a town or neighborhood is safer with immigrants because they commit violent crimes less often than people born in the United States. The speaker objects to the bill, stating it feeds a false narrative that the country should fear families coming to the United States fleeing economic desperation, violence, terror, or torture in search of a better life.

Ninety percent of people coming into the country are trying to do the right thing. Currently, some people who shouldn't be are being removed from the country, including those with visas. The goal is to keep out people who are doing bad things. Immigrants are reportedly much less likely to commit crimes than American-born citizens.

Speaker 0: "My first reaction was that this is a good thing." "I think that the governor as well as, the mayor should be on board with it just so we can get a bit more of security in Chicago the way that we need." "The the crime has dropped since 2024." "Do you feel like the city feels safer?" "No." "Not at all." "No." "Especially with the police being defunded."

Today’s operation in Chicago, led by multiple federal agencies, focused on public safety and national security. We successfully apprehended serious offenders, including sex offenders and gang members, removing significant threats from the streets. This operation was meticulously planned, targeting individuals with criminal and immigration histories. In Aurora, there was a major bust involving illegal immigrants, guns, and drugs. Unfortunately, local policies hinder our ability to access jails, making it difficult to apprehend dangerous individuals directly. We need cooperation to ensure public safety; sanctuary city policies only protect criminals, not communities. Law enforcement should collaborate to keep everyone safe, including immigrant communities.

San Francisco is committed to being a sanctuary city, ensuring the safety of its immigrant community. The sheriff's office will not participate in immigration raids or federal law enforcement actions targeting immigrants. A sanctuary city promotes safety by encouraging individuals to report and testify about crimes without fear. Immigrants have played a vital role in building the nation, and San Francisco proudly supports and celebrates its immigrant community. We stand with immigrants, families, and workers, affirming our commitment to community values.

Mary Andy Ginther addresses residents to discuss the increase in federal immigration law enforcement activity in the city. She states that while the city cannot prevent federal agents from being present, it does not discriminate against any residents based on immigration status. She says, “Do not obstruct federal law enforcement activity,” but if you see something you don’t think is right or interacting with law enforcement officials, it’s okay to record that conversation on your phone. She also emphasizes that residents should continue to feel safe to call Columbus police and 911. Ginther reassures residents that “Our police will not be used to carry out these operations.” She outlines rights and practical guidance for interacting with authorities. She instructs residents to create a safety plan with their family and loved ones, to carry identification or documentation of their status, and to stay calm and truthful when interacting with law enforcement. She reminds people, “Remember, you have the right to remain silent,” and advises memorizing the phone number of someone they can call if they need help. She reiterates that Columbus is already safe without federal intervention and urges residents to take care of one another. Ginther closes by noting that community leaders see and support you, expressing gratitude with “Thank you.”

One week after President Trump’s crackdown on crime in DC, officials report sharp declines in violence following National Guard deployment and Metropolitan Police control: violent crime down 39%, robberies down 57%, carjackings down 75%, with over 2,300 arrests and ICE detentions of about 950, including 20 gang members. Sex offenders have been removed from the streets, major drug trafficking operations foiled, a planned school shooting thwarted, 50 illegal tent encampments cleared, and seven missing children rescued. Authorities argue the city had been suffering from crime rates rivaling 1990s levels, and that DC’s homicide rate in 2024 ranks second behind Detroit among US cities under a million people. Critics point to Youth Rehabilitation Act changes and other DC Council laws they say weakened police effectiveness, while noting morale and recruitment declines. A committee passed 14 bills to restore public safety and will hear witnesses on next steps.

I'm proud to be part of this effort. We've taken significant action against sanctuary cities, halting federal funding and filing lawsuits against Chicago and Illinois for their policies. Sanctuary cities prioritize illegal aliens over the safety of their citizens and law enforcement. We are holding city and state leaders accountable, including the mayor and governor. If they don't comply with federal law, they will face consequences. What about those who tipped off the trend day, Arawak?

Imagine a world without murder. I lost many loved ones to violence. Six years ago, the homicide rate was alarming, but then we introduced the pre-crime program. Within a month, murders in Washington, D.C. dropped by 90%. Within a year, the program effectively eliminated murder in the capital, and for six years, there hasn't been a single homicide. Now, we want to extend this success to all Americans. We aim to ensure that the system not only keeps us safe but also preserves our freedom. Vote yes on the National Free Crime Initiative on Tuesday, April 22nd.

We know you have a crime and terrorism problem and we are eager to help. We turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. We liberated millions. To liberate 350,000,000 people, you have to imprison some. You cannot just free the criminals and think crime's gonna go down magically. You have to imprison them so you can liberate 350,000,000 Americans that are asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism. It's clear that with the numbers at the border, even in Democrat run cities, they get help from the work you're doing. I'm really happy to be here, honored, and eager to help.

Thank you for having me. Criminal justice reform aims to reduce incarceration, with a focus on decreasing the prison population. Initiatives led by George Soros have seen success, with a 26% drop in incarceration rates. However, San Francisco's leniency on shoplifting and drug use has led to a rise in crime and drug-related deaths. The public perceives a crime crisis, with concerns about safety increasing. More police presence in cities like Dallas and Boston is credited with lower crime rates. In conclusion, progressive reforms may have gone too far, highlighting the importance of policing in crime prevention.

San Francisco remains a sanctuary city, committed to protecting its immigrant community. The sheriff's office will not participate in immigration raids or federal law enforcement actions against immigrants. A sanctuary city fosters safety, encouraging individuals to report and testify about crimes without fear. Immigrants have played a vital role in building and enriching the nation, and San Francisco proudly supports and celebrates its immigrant population. We stand together for immigrants, families, and workers. This is what community looks like.

Today, we’re targeting MS-13, a foreign terrorist organization involved in drugs, guns, and human trafficking. We’re conducting a large-scale operation with multiple teams to arrest 13 members, a crippling blow to their network. This is a whole-of-government effort with ICE, DOJ, FBI, DEA, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Sanctuary jurisdictions hinder our work; a recent example saw an MS-13 member with firearms and narcotics released back onto the streets. Conversely, Montgomery County’s collaboration with ICE led to a 50% decrease in violent crime. We prioritize public safety and national security; MS-13 victimizes more people than other terrorist groups. Our officers' morale is high, and we’re proud of our work, including leading the country in sex offender arrests. Yesterday, we arrested a prolific MS-13 member involved in homicides. We’re making a difference, and we’ll continue to target dangerous criminals.
