Will TX Immigration Laws Silence Crime Victims?

"The opponents of legislation that would outlaw so-called “sanctuary cities” argue that it would turn local police officers into immigration agents and divert resources from their primary job: preventing and solving crime. Law enforcement officers say it could have another, unintended consequence — silencing potential victims and witnesses who will be too afraid to identify themselves to cops."
