Part 4/8:
Andrew, a legal expert featured in the discussion, elaborates on the troubling implications of local interference in immigration enforcement. According to him, the behavior of state and city leaders is emblematic of a broader disregard for federal statutes, a situation the DOJ has sought to rectify with its lawsuit.
The expert argues that politicians should not selectively enforce laws at their discretion. He emphasizes that public safety should not be compromised by political maneuvering, particularly when local leaders fail to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This lack of collaboration is viewed as a significant threat to community safety and security, as it potentially allows criminal elements to evade justice.
