Summary: The article defends President Trump’s immigration policies against criticism by highlighting significant enforcement actions leading to arrests of illegal alien sex offenders and a substantial drop in homicides, violent crime, and law enforcement fatalities in 2025. It emphasizes that most deportees faced criminal charges, fentanyl trafficking at the southern border has been halved, and emergency room visits by illegal immigrants have decreased. These policies are credited with improving public safety and reducing drug-related harms, while opponents are accused of ignoring evidence and misplacing priorities.
Key Actions: Encourage Vanderbilt’s Law School and research institutes to analyze the social and legal impacts of enforcement policies; develop public safety training aligned with federal priorities; expand partnerships with law enforcement; and assess healthcare resource shifts related to immigration enforcement.
