Trump to push swift end to sanctuary cities, bail reform

 

US President Donald Trump urged Republicans to act swiftly on ending sanctuary cities and modifying no-cash bail policies on Monday, citing rising crime in Washington, DC.


Speaking at a press conference, Trump claimed the city's murder rate is now higher than Bogota, Colombia, and that car thefts have doubled while carjackings have more than tripled over the past five years. He called for "rules and regulations" to restore order and said some neighborhoods are under emergency curfews.

Image
In today's digital landscape, identifying the truth about topics like bail reform and cashless bail can be challenging due to widespread disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda.

Former Democrat Sheriff- Crime Soars in Democrat Tourist Town Because Of Bad Bail Reform

Image
  A former Democrat sheriff blamed anti-police rhetoric Wednesday for the crime surge in Asheville, North Carolina, as rising crime has hit the popular tourist destination in recent years. Former Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan, who left the Democratic Party, joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss what led to the crime surge in recent years as fears surrounding public safety loom.  "Even though we were making good strides in the community and reducing the crime rate, we still saw ourselves coming in as a negative in the community and in the eyes of some of the leftist politicians that were… getting elected at that time," Duncan told co-host Todd Piro. * * * "We have a very large homeless population here in Asheville, and what we've seen with the dismissal rates for panhandling, for loitering, for those type things that really … makes it tough for them to operate here in Asheville," Duncan said.

Accessing Progressive Criminal-Justice Policies

Image
  Introduction: Accessing Progressive Criminal Justice Policies- Gun Buybacks:  Politicians in big cities believe that gun-buyback programs will reduce the violent crime that is spiking in America’s urban centers. But comprehensive research shows no evidence that such programs work. Philadelphia just completed a three-year gun-buyback program that yielded over 1,000 firearms. Not a single recovered firearm was linked to violent crime and, during the course of the program, Philadelphia set new all-time records for homicides.  “Violence Interrupters”:  Violence interrupters are former gang members and convicts who mediate disputes on the streets.  Cities led by “reform” prosecutors, such as Baltimore, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia have staked a lot on this idea. The results have not been encouraging. Multiple violence interrupters have been murdered in Baltimore. In Indianapolis, the former convict in charge of training violence interrupters was arrested for thre...
