The Spin
Republican narrative
If New York won't protect its citizens, it's up to the federal government to do so and to hold New York's failed officials accountable. The data shows that failing to cooperate with ICE makes New York and other cities far more dangerous. The recent shooting of a CBP officer shows how urgent it is to roll back sanctuary policies.
Democratic narrative
Evidence shows that sanctuary laws make communities safer by encouraging immigrant cooperation with police and preventing unconstitutional detention. It's the Trump administration's use of violent, masked ICE agents who target immigrants at courthouses and schools that's creating fear and undermining public safety.
