Sanctuary Counties Have Lower Crime, Not Higher. The Research Is Consistent.

The claim that sanctuary cities are dangerous 'death traps' that protect criminals is false. A Center for American Progress county-matched analysis found sanctuary counties average 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 residents than comparable nonsanctuary counties, with higher incomes and lower poverty; multiple independent studies find sanctuary policies have no effect on or slightly reduce crime. Aisha rates it False.
