Trump Inaugurated, White House Website Sees Law Enforcement Reorientation
President Trump’s inauguration speech alluded to enforcing the border but not as much as some might have predicted. Changes to the White House website are attracting attention (here and here) and suggest a reorientation of the incoming administration approach to immigration and civil rights issues.
Changes made in the first day of the Trump administration are already alarming some people. Changes made to the official White House website, WhiteHouse.gov, outlining Trump’s policies on criminal justice and immigration are attracting attention.
The White House website includes new section on Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community, which suggests the path to safer communities lies in “more law enforcement, more community engagement and more effective policing.” It continues:
“President Trump is committed to building a border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. He is dedicated to enforcing our border laws, ending sanctuary cities, and stemming the tide of lawlessness associated with illegal immigration.
Supporting law enforcement also means deporting illegal aliens with violent criminal records who have remained within our borders.”
