Any decrease
in any sort of funding would decrease the safety of our officers as
they strive to protect and serve our communities. This law will not
only affect our police officers' safety, but it will negatively affect
the sense of security in our communities. Yes, the underlying intent of the law is to make it easier for ICE to
target undocumented people who are criminals--I get it--but it is not
that simple. In the past few months, my district has seen two large-scale raids by
ICE. Yes, they swept up criminals, but they also snagged collaterals,
law-abiding people who were here in the wrong place at the right time.
