Within minutes of his inauguration, new Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe implemented a series of anti-crime orders, reflecting a renewed national focus on tough-on-crime policies.
Kehoe emphasized that too many Missourians do not feel safe, stating, 'When people are afraid for their lives...they cannot be productive and they will not prosper.'
The reemergence of tough-on-crime rhetoric is evident in state legislatures across the U.S., with both parties endorsing measures for stricter sentencing laws.
As part of his orders, Kehoe plans to collect immigration-status data on individuals facing criminal charges, signaling a blend of crime-fighting and immigration enforcement.
