One of the concerns is that people who can be afraid of deportations would avoid reporting crimes such as extortion and robberies, allowing thieves to capture them and stay on the streets.
“Why did I convene a meeting was the fact that people called me directly, saying,” What will happen? Will local police implement the laws of immigration? “, Larsen said.” The fact is that we have no authority to keep anyone about administrative matters, and that was already a lawsuit filed in Suffolk County, and this is a random practice, and you should not stick to civil or administratively. “
