These laws are going to have a real impact on policing. In these communities, immigrants are not going to be willing to trust law enforcement because they know that part of law enforcement’s mandate is to try and root out undocumented immigrants. And so if you’ve got a crime and you’ve got a witness, who might be lawful themselves, but they’re living with someone who’s undocumented, they may be unwilling to come forward as witness.
