Espaillat: Defunding Sanctuary Cities Like Pointing a Gun at the Head of Americans

‘Well, this is a serious threat to the security of Americans throughout the country’

EXCERPT:

ESPAILLAT: "Well, this is a serious threat to the security of Americans throughout the country and particularly New York City, which is the largest, safest city in America. And we have been safe since 9/11 because our men and women in law enforcement have been given the tools to fight crime, to fight terrorism. Now, the Department of Justice is entrusted with the mission to defend us against enemies, both foreign and domestic. And by yanking funding away and clawing back funding away from law enforcement, we're putting average Americans at risk. In fact, it's almost like putting a gun in the head of Americans and playing Russian roulette. This is egregious and this is something that shouldn't happen. Our men and women of law enforcement should get all the help possible to defend us from any potential terrorist attack."
