EXCERPT:
SIGCHO-LOPEZ: “Well, I think that what we need to be doing, what we need to do, is we also had a mass shooting, in a Catholic school. We also have had many, many instances where the administration has really escalated — exacerbated the violence in our —- in our — in our country, in our cities. Trump is a dictator. I think we have to be very clear. He’s trying to normalize violence. He’s trying to normalize military deployment in American cities like L.A., D.C., Chicago, and many others to come. But what we have not seen is really a systemic investment that will actually address the core issues. I have shootings in my ward. One of them was a tragic shooting of an unhoused neighbor. So, the Trump Administration is saying that they’re going to address the issue of unhoused residents by putting them in jails and concentration camps? Are they going to address the issue of violence by withholding $800 million that have gone to the cities like Chicago for violence prevention programs? $200 million that the Trump Administration is withholding for substance abuse programs?”
