text: You would lose that bet. What will happen if ICE keeps up this reckless and lethal behavior on our streets is that crime will go up, criminals will gain the upper hand and we will all be in more danger. What happens, you see, is witnesses to and victims of crime will stop coming forward, fail to show up to testify against criminals and fail to cooperate with police for fear of deportation. Criminals will walk free or never be caught. It will go deeper into the shadows and make local police work much harder. You will be in more danger.
