Tom K. Wong Retweeted ICE

@ICEgov/@DHSgov is using the tragic murder of an elderly woman by an undocumented immigrant to criticize sanctuary policies. Their playbook: exploit tragedies when they occur and attribute the causes of these tragedies to policies it objects to #LetsTalkDataNotSoundBites 1/https://twitter.com/ICEgov/status/1218986485057277957 …

ICE Acting Director Albence: "NY’s sanctuary policies willfully released a criminal illegal alien now charged w/ murder. How many of these preventable tragedies are you willing to accept @nycmayor? ICE is issuing subpoenas because our answer is none." #nyc https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-issues-subpoenas-obtain-information-refused-under-ny-sanctuary-policies …

To begin, the folks I know in the @NYCMayor's office condemn this incident and all violent crimes and want to see the perpetrators, regardless of immigration status, criminally prosecuted 2/

Turning to the data, using @ICEgov/@DHSgov's own data obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, I found that crime is lower and economies are stronger in sanctuary versus comparable non-sanctuary counties 3/pic.twitter.com/ooM9mcmM1m

This led the @washingtonpost to factcheck the administration's claims that sanctuary policies "breed crime." The punchline: the president and @ICEgov/@DHSgov were wrong https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/02/08/trumps-claim-that-sanctuary-cities-breed-crime/ … 4/

Myself @lorenc2, #BenjaminGonzalezObrien, @danmartinezUA, and other colleagues have similarly found that there's either no statistically significant relationship between sanctuary policies and increased crime or that sanctuary policies are associated with less crime 5/

In newer research, I've found that local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration enforcement officials has "chilling effects" on a broad range of the day-to-day behaviors of undocumented immigrants, including crime reporting 6/pic.twitter.com/2qKAMTAmVq

This led to another @washingtonpost @monkeycageblog article. The headline says it all: "Sanctuary cities don't breed crime. They Encourage people to report it." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/04/24/sanctuary-cities-dont-breed-crime-they-encourage-people-to-report-crime/ … 7/

In even newer research, I've found that local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration enforcement authorities undermines community trust in law enforcement. Our new article in @PoPpublicsphere @CUP_PoliSci https://buff.ly/35P7UCd 8/pic.twitter.com/nBYDwJG8an

  While we're at it, we should also have this conversation in my own backyard. @SupFletcher has been leading the fight in the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to push back against misinformed opinions from his colleagues #FactsStillMatter https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/story/2019-12-04/commentary-why-joining-trump-sanctuary-city-lawsuit-is-a-waste-of-local-resources … /end
