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.

Addressing the issue, as a practicing Catholic, I was heartbroken by the statement. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops should reflect on their priorities, especially since they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants. Are they focused on humanitarian concerns or their financial interests? We will enforce immigration laws to protect the American people. Donald Trump promised this, and if the bishops are concerned about humanitarian costs, they should consider the children who have been sex trafficked due to the open border policies. I support law enforcement against violent criminals, regardless of their immigration status, to ensure our safety.

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.

I'm here to address the recent attacks Donald Trump made against my community, Aurora, Colorado. His statements about migrants and refugees are based on lies and fear mongering, which aim to divide us. Public safety is a priority, and I collaborate closely with local law enforcement and community leaders to ensure our community's safety. Trump's claims of a "takeover" by immigrants and refugees are simply untrue. His words are distortions designed to create division, and I will always stand against such divisive rhetoric.

I want to send a clear message to ICE: I am ready to assist you. We will prioritize helping you target criminal illegal immigrants, including drug dealers and human traffickers, as well as those who cross our borders without proper controls. We now have millions of undocumented individuals in our country, many of whom break the law. Our main focus is on criminal illegals, and we will provide ICE with any support we can, regardless of whether we are a blue or sanctuary state. Our new governor has a duty to ensure the safety of our state, and if they fail, they will be held responsible. As an elected sheriff, I answer to the people, not the governor or county commissioners. My priority is your safety and the safety of our county within the state.

My name is Jacob Fry, mayor of Minneapolis, and I wanna speak directly to the Somali community. Whether you come from Mogadishu, Getaway, Hargeisa, Bosaso, Medoa, or Kismayo, Minneapolis is your city. You are a vital part of the fabric that makes our city strong, diverse, and united. No matter what policies may be introduced by president Donald Trump, Minneapolis stands with you and values who you are and what you bring to our city. Donald Trump's justification for the travel ban hinges on one Egyptian national who allowed his hatred for Netanyahu's actions to spill over into violence against innocent Jewish people in Colorado. That logic is dangerous. Holding entire nations accountable for the actions of a few individuals is the very same fallacy. Here in Minneapolis, people of every background have broken the law. And when they do, we hold them accountable as individuals.

AOC is doing webinars that give advice to undocumented immigrants about how to avoid being caught and how to stay in the United States, which may be gaming the system. I've contacted the Deputy Attorney General to see if this is obstructing law enforcement. I need the DOJ to determine if a line has been crossed. In my opinion, this is an impediment. We need advice on how to move forward. If necessary, we will take every federal dollar out of the city. This is a matter of public and community safety. Releasing dangerous people endangers the public, our officers, and even undocumented immigrants. If sanctuary cities won't act to make their communities safer, President Trump will.

We prioritize securing the border to protect our nation. Undocumented individuals should be treated with respect. They have helped build our country.

The speaker states they are consistent in their policies regarding immigration, both before and after Trump's election. They believe the federal government must handle immigration and that open borders would cost cities $7.5 billion. As a lifelong law enforcement official, the speaker maintains that public safety is a prerequisite to prosperity and that the federal government is constitutionally responsible for immigration. They argue against shifting responsibility to cities, regardless of who is president. When asked if they are okay with the Trump administration's handling of immigration, the speaker reiterates that the entire federal government must focus on immigration. They emphasize the positive contributions of immigrants to the city and that mayors should not have to manage the issue. The speaker avoids a direct yes or no answer, maintaining consistency in their stance.

Hello, friends. Recently, a Trump official issued a memorandum threatening local law enforcement with jail time if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration officials. However, there is no law requiring local officials to do so. Our state's resources should focus on state matters, not federal immigration enforcement. Local law enforcement should not act as agents for the Trump administration, which has previously lost in court trying to coerce states. I have no fear of the Trump administration. We will prioritize our state’s business and will not interfere with federal operations, but we will not carry out their demands. Thank you.

What about our children who were brutally murdered and abused? It's heartbreaking to see the suffering caused by illegal immigration. Many lives have been lost, and no one seems to care about our daughters. As mothers, we are the ones crying out for justice. I'm grateful that Trump won and is addressing immigration issues right away. In just two weeks, he has shown accountability and a genuine concern for American families. We appreciate his efforts and stand with him to make America safe again.

This administration has created chaos, leading to personal attacks and threats against me and my family. Law enforcement is now seen as the enemy, while those who break the law are viewed as victims. Mayors and governors opposing ICE's efforts should listen to the distressing tape of a girl fighting for her life, a situation that occurs daily due to illegal immigration. President Trump emphasizes the need to prioritize public safety and national security threats, which are crucial for community safety. Every leader should focus on removing these threats from their neighborhoods, putting community well-being above political disagreements.

I will fight for the rights of immigrants, both documented and undocumented, in our state. We aim to provide them with justice, dignity, and fairness under the law by passing comprehensive immigration reform to bring them out of the shadows.

I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. If you're afraid of Trump, know that trans people will make this a very unsafe space if you don't protect them. How many of my friends need to die before you do anything? Remember Black History Month and recognize our existence despite what's coming from Washington. Be aware you are a guest in my house when you come into my classroom with strong queer and trans people who will collect you quickly. We need to fight back against fascism and corruption. If federal money relies on the dehumanization of trans people, we don't want it. Some of you care more about easy funding than trans lives. I'm speaking in support of agenda items 10 b and 14 b because Trump is threatening the trans and gender diverse community. Make Westborough a sanctuary city for trans people. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

Trump and Tom Homan, we want you to take action against those protecting illegals. You claim you won't raise property taxes, yet here we are facing a $1 billion deficit, with half spent on illegals. You promised not to allow Trump to come in and enforce the law, but now you’re trying to take him to court using our tax dollars. We’re here to hold you accountable and let your constituents know how you’re spending their money to protect illegals. This is serious, and we will make sure everyone knows what you’re doing.

The speaker states they will fight for all Angelenos, regardless of immigration status, because Los Angeles is a city of immigrants. The speaker claims this impacts hundreds of thousands of Angelenos.

I want a world where I can worry about normal things, not crime. We need more police, prosecutors, judges, and prison space. The president's plan lacks resources to catch criminals. We disagree with cutting border protection. Let's target drug lords globally. We must unite to fulfill promises and stay safe. Thank you. Translation: I desire a world free from crime where we have enough resources to combat criminals. We oppose reducing border security and suggest targeting drug lords worldwide. Let's work together to keep our promises and ensure safety. Thank you.

My name is Jacob Fry, mayor of Minneapolis, and I wanna speak directly to the Somali community. Whether you come from Mogadishu, Getaway, Hargeisa, Bosaso, Medoa, or Kismayo, Minneapolis is your city. The bond between Somalia and Minneapolis is long standing, and it's deep. We will not let Donald Trump's bans alienate our Somali residents, our neighbors, and friends whom we love. Donald Trump's justification for the travel ban hinges on one Egyptian national who allowed his hatred for Netanyahu's actions to spill over into violence against innocent Jewish people in Colorado. That logic is dangerous. Holding entire nations accountable for the actions of a few individuals is the very same fallacy. Here in Minneapolis, people of every background have broken the law. And when they do, we hold them accountable as individuals.

Mayor Wu, does ICE arresting a child rapist threaten everyone's safety? No. Does ICE arresting a murderous MS-13 gang member threaten everyone's safety? No. I'd like to point out that you, Mayor Michelle Wu, have said that ICE's efforts actually threaten the safety of everyone. You're a hypocrite.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is threatening to arrest ICE agents if they try to deport undocumented migrants. He emphasizes his commitment to protect the people of Chicago from what he sees as threats from the current administration. Johnson argues that targeting undocumented individuals undermines public accommodations and poses a risk to civility and democracy. He asserts that these individuals are part of the community and vows to take action to safeguard them.

This administration has caused chaos, leading to personal attacks and death threats against me. Law enforcement is now seen as the enemy, while lawbreakers are viewed as victims. Mayors and governors opposing ICE's efforts should listen to the distressing tape of a girl fighting for her life, a situation that occurs daily due to illegal immigration. President Trump emphasizes prioritizing public safety and national security threats, which are critical for community safety. Every leader should focus on removing these threats from their neighborhoods, as protecting the community should be their top responsibility, regardless of political feelings towards Trump.

We will not engage in efforts that harm our communities. Mass deportations, as proposed by the president-elect, will misallocate essential resources. It's crucial for everyone to educate themselves on this issue. Refer to Title 8, United States Code 1324, which outlines the legal implications of harboring or concealing an illegal alien; it is a felony. Understanding this statute is vital to avoid crossing legal boundaries.

I'm frustrated that multiple communities have recently experienced mass shootings. In Jacksonville, a white supremacist used an assault rifle to harm people, and currently, there is a dangerous individual at UNC Chapel Hill causing fear and chaos. This cannot continue. To address this issue, we need to ban assault rifles and implement a buyback program. By doing so, we can prevent these dangerous weapons from falling into the wrong hands, especially those who may harm immigrant communities. We must prioritize the safety of our children and make a clear choice to protect them. It's a simple decision: either we choose our kids or we don't.

I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. If you're afraid of Trump, prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space. How many of my friends need to die before you do anything? Remember Black History Month and that you are a guest in my house. My name in drag is Didi Delight, and out of drag is Dewey Cosgrove Batienza. I'm Laddie LaRouge. My legal name is Olivia D'Ambrosio, and public name is Libby Scanlon. I'm always misgendered and afraid to use public toilets. Imagine fearing our marriage rights being stripped away. Does covering legal fees for police brutality matter more than protecting queer lives? If federal money relies on dehumanizing trans people, we don't want it. I'm here to impart my sour grapes. Trump is threatening the trans community. Make Westborough a sanctuary city for trans people, and don't call someone "it." The kids are watching, and we're ready to vote you out.
