Resist, Resist, Resist - Mayor: Trump Order On Sanctuary Cities ‘Does Not Change Who We Are’ « CBS New York

Mayor Bill de Blasio
"NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday said President Donald Trump’s executive order stripping funding for sanctuary cities would be severely damaging to New York City.



Trump on Wednesday signed the order targeting sanctuary cities, which do not arrest or detain immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.



De Blasio said the loss of funds would cut the resources of the NYPD — including anti-terrorism funding — and damage relations between police officers and communities. He added that the city would not begin deporting law-abiding undocumented immigrants because of the order.



The lost funds would reduce the NYPD’s resources to fight crime and terrorism and make the city less safe, not more, de Blasio said.



“The executive order on its face contradicts its stated purpose,” de Blasio said."
