There was testimony by Houston police officer John Nichols before the House Judiciary subcommittee. He said this: When we shackle law enforcement officers in such a manner. instead of protecting U.S. citizens and people here legally. the danger to society greatly increases by allowing potentially violent criminals to freely roam our streets. If the underlying bill is passed. there should be no need for sanctuary cities. The only folks who will want to remain in the shadows will be those who do not want anyone to know they are in the shadows. These present sanctuary cities. if the law passes. will protect criminals. and we should again get rid of the gag order. That is all this amendment does.
