Murders in New Orleans dropped last year. In the "sanctuary city" of Los Angeles violent crime and murder are at 50 year lows. Same for San Francisco. Even famously dangerous Chicago saw a decrease in murders last year.
How is this happening? Well, certainly no credit to federal government. The DOJ under AG Sessions withheld police funds over "sanctuary cities."
These reductions are due to hard work by the local governments. Democrats Mitch Landrieu and LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans, Chicago's Rahm Emanuel, London Breed in San Francisco, and Los Angeles' Eric Garcetti deserve recognition.
