Subject: Re: Border Apprehensions Lowest Level In Half Century
For example, one negative effect of having your state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE is to reduce the degree that folks from the undocumented communities - and their family members and neighbors - will cooperate with your state and local law enforcement. If those folks stop trusting the police, it can hurt law enforcement efforts within that community. Local elected officials may determine that negative impact will be worse than the possible negative impact associated with not cooperating with ICE.

Lack of cooperation by the public is on of the large factors cited in the decline of the murder solution rate from 90% in the 60s to 60% ~2010. Ten to fifteen years ago the murder solution rate in the Philippines was dismal ~22%. When Duterte took over it dropped further. I think 60% is pretty bad for us and we need to do better. Contrary to the movies or TV series, most murders are solved by shoe leather - Police going around and talking to people, getting videotape, etc. Police documenting and interviewing witnesses really helps, but if people won't or are reluctant to talk to police - the solution rate drops. We need people to talk to our police.
