Rather than threatening to withhold federal funds, I think it would be far more effective to undermine the Big City Mayor's credibility by focusing on crime, there are many examples where some repeat offender has been released to commit an even more heinous act, just report two or three every week and talk about how unnecessary it is. Embarrass the mayor into declaring his support for ICE getting vicious criminals off the streets. Don't martyr him by withholding funds, at least not right away.

OK, give us the offenders doing heinous acts from November 11 through the 17th. If Trump is right that should be a thousand or more. Show the reputable source(s) for your data.

I live in California, where this is a problem. Part of the issue is "catch and release", which was a policy change in CA a few years back. The problem they were trying to solve was the incarceration of innocent people, who lost their job due to the incarceration. There were lots of negative side effects to this policy change.

The news is full of anecdotes about those being released committing much worse crimes. The problem you are going to have is almost all of these are about citizens, not immigrants.

I suspect most in sanctuary cities believe that immigrants should be treated about the same as citizens. If you have a crime problem with immigrants, you likely have the same, but bigger, problem with citizens. The solution is to fix the underlying crime problem, not pick on one particular group (be in racial, ethnic, or immigrant).

The problem, the NewtGingrichRushLimbaughWallyGeorge method has re-popularized compulsive lying. Churches raffling high-capacity/rapid fire rifles? Being a right-wing asshole has become a goal.

"Willfully ignorant" has become a badge of honor for the MAGA consortium of ammosexuals, election deniers, misogynists, science deniers, pseudoreligous hypocrites, bigots and racists that continue to plague the planet.

All bets are off as we say sayonara to a relatively kind and honest administration and enter another 4 year clusterfuck of MAGA idiocracy.

Right? I'm completely not surprised that the incoming MAGAdministration never mentions the involvement of white gangs in drugs and human trafficking. NEVER. It's as if the Eurasian crime organizations don't exist in MAGAworld.

"Russian" is used generically to refer to a variety of Eurasian crime groups - many of which are not Russian. Among the active criminals in the U.S. are Armenians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians,and persons from the Caucasus region of the former Soviet Union (Chechens, Dagestanis, andGeorgians). The media and law enforcement call these groups various names - Russian mafia, Russian mob, Organizatsya, Bor, Bratva, etc.
Some of the group names refer to geographical locations in Russia -Izmailovskaya, Dagestantsy, Kazanskaya, and Solntsenskaya. The latter are indicative of the local geographically defined roots of some Russian crime groups.It is estimated that approximately 15 of these loosely categorized criminal groups are operating in the United States, and that 8 or 9 of them maintain links to Russia.
