Vice President JD Vance delivered a strong critique of sanctuary state and city leaders during the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service, characterizing them as "weak-willed" and a detriment to law enforcement. He emphasized the Trump administration's commitment to supporting police and maintaining public order, alleging that these officials facilitate crime and undermine immigration laws. Vance highlighted a recent executive order aimed at jeopardizing federal funding for non-compliant jurisdictions, while also honoring fallen officers. His remarks included sharp rebukes of left-leaning prosecutors and a declaration that the American electorate opposed the 'defund the police' movement.
"The Trump administration has zero tolerance for anyone who threatens to defund, abolish or otherwise diminish our law enforcement heroes," Vance said in a US Capitol address to mark the 44th annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service.
"We have no tolerance for weak-willed municipal leaders who allow petty crime to take root all over our communities," he went on.
"We have no tolerance for people who defy our immigration laws or surrender entire blocks of their own cities to Antifa and other ridiculous organizations."
"Last year in November I think the American people killed the 'defund the police' movement - and they used Donald J. Trump as the murder weapon," Vance said.
