I don’t care what a person’s immigration status is, I want them to call the police to report crimes in their neighborhood and not be scared of the consequences. We hold up our end of the deal by keeping routine immigration enforcement out of it.

So consider for a moment that the attorney general wants to withhold a grant named after Officer Byrne from police departments committed to offering all immigrants the same protection from retaliation that Officer Byrne himself died providing. Sessions would scare immigrants from calling the police for the very reasons Byrne was posted to the street in Queens where he spent the last hours of his life.
