Honolulu City Council Bill 31 (2019) introduced by Council Members Carol Fukunaga and Ann Kobayashi would prohibit Honolulu Police Department [HPD] from cooperating with U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] to keep our community safe by apprehending illegal aliens. This would reverse long-standing policy wherein HPD has been a strong partner with federal immigration authorities.
Here is the proposed legislation:
John Carroll wants to stop this bill now. Otherwise he will work to have it revoked or vacated once we elect him as our next Honolulu Mayor.
Here is his official statement which he has just issued:
Public Statement
John Carroll for Honolulu Mayor
“Sanctuary City” efforts nationwide are nothing more than a fraud! They attempt to appear humane and caring. In fact they aid and abet evasion of federal immigration statutes. The result is collusion by city officials with criminals seeking to escape detection and punishment.
Politicians who enact Sanctuary Cities are culpable for their actions. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and adamantly oppose any such irresponsible legislation here in Honolulu.
If it is passed and signed by Mayor Kirk Caldwell, as your next Mayor, I will insist that City Council immediately revoke this ordinance. Otherwise, I will file a suit in court to have it vacated as violative of federal statutes.
However, if the City Council will have a hearing on this bill now, I will personally prepare testimony in opposition to it. Public sentiment was instrumental in stopping the recent Hawaii Senate Bill to make Hawaii a Sanctuary State.
We can make our will known now. The City and County of Honolulu must ensure the safety and well-being of our community throughout O’ahu. If neighbor islands propose Sanctuary status, we will stand united with our friends and family there as they also prevent this mistaken abandonment of law and order.
Honolulu needs a Mayor who respects the law, enforces the law and works as a partner with state and federal agencies. Legal immigrants understand that queue jumpers violate our own sovereignty.
We all welcome visitors into our homes as long as they enter through the front door and don’t sneak through a window. Guests who come to dinner are not invited to move themselves and their families into our spare room.
Honolulu must not become a Sanctuary for those who disrespect our Ohana. Your Mayor must respect your voice in favor of HPD being able to continue doing their job without interference from politicians.
The good people of Hawaii fully comprehend what our current elected politicians do not. You and I know that becoming a Sanctuary State or a Sanctuary City is just plain wrong!
After a hurricane or when Madame Pele speaks, our Mayors and our Governor are eager to request and receive federal assistance. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit voluntary cooperation among law enforcement agencies at all echelons of government.
ICE Agents and CBP Officers here on island are our family, friends and neighbors. They have a stake in the well-being of our community just as we all do. Their kids go to school with our kids. We are all on the same side. It’s time we recognize that fact and act accordingly.
We can’t do better than John Carroll who will stand up for us and our children when we elect him our next Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu. Let John know you support his efforts to stop this Sanctuary City bill.
