Concord Chief of Police: NO ICE AID

We were impressed when Concord Chief of Police Guy Swanger recent words to the citizens of Concord: "I want to be clear. The Concord Police Department does not and has not enforced immigration laws. We do not and will not participate with any federal agency for the sole purpose of detaining or arresting persons for the sole purpose of their immigration status. Our core mission is protecting our residents and the community and to be successful we need to work with all of our community members, regardless of their immigration status. But I want to impress upon everyone that we will enforce the laws of this city and this state equally, regardless of one’s immigration status."

I hope our own Chief of Police and Mayor will be inspired by Chief Swanger and make a similar statement.
