Press Release

Executive Order on So-Called “Sanctuary Cities” Puts All Communities at Risk, ADL SaysNew York, NY, January 25, 2017 …

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today voiced deep concern over President Trump’s executive order defunding so-called “sanctuary cities”– cities that protect their relationship between police and immigrant communities by refusing to entangle local law enforcement in federal immigration enforcement.“

From our years of experiences in training law enforcement on hate crimes in the United States, we know the critical need for trust between police and the communities they have sworn to serve and protect,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “Forcing cities to choose between losing funds – or dividing police and immigrant communities – is wrong and dangerous. When immigrants and their families and communities fear police, they become vulnerable to hate crimes. This executive order would create an underclass of people who do not have open access to police protection if they become victims.”

“Weakening law enforcement officers’ relationship with immigrant communities puts all of our communities at risk and deters a segment of our community from calling the police after a crime or from coming forward as witnesses,” said David Friedman, ADL Vice President of Law Enforcement, Extremism and Community Security. “We commend those cities that have prioritized community policing and building a trusting relationship between law enforcement and immigrant communities. We urge them to continue their policies and dedication to keeping all communities safe.”

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

BackChannels wishes to not be so lazy as to post press releases verbatim, but the editor also wishes to read (books) and adjust both personal and publication focus, and partly so by stepping away from the desktop.

As reports and opinions mount, the Trump Administration, now entering only its second week of business, has come to look ill-prepared and thoughtless as regards any careful formulation of national policy in many areas.  The appearance of an unstudied national xenophobia expressed from the White House bodes ill for Americans, nearly all of whose ancestors immigrated into North America themselves.

Condemning the move, a Save the Children official told Reuters that the Pakistan government had been stopping aid shipments entering the country, “blocking aid to millions of children and their families”. It comes after the Pakistani government announced it was tightening the rules for NGOs, revoking several of their licences. An interior ministry official said on Friday it had cancelled agreements with at least 15 foreign charities, including the Norwegian Refugee Council, on the advice of intelligence agencies that said the organisations had been “collecting sensitive data” from Pakistan’s tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

Foreign charities have complained that they have been treated with increasing hostility and suspicion in Pakistan, with obstacles to their work becoming ever more difficult especially in the last 6 months.

Chowdhry, Wilson.  “Save the Children charity ordered to leave Pakistan.”  Blog.  British Pakistani Christians, June 13, 2015.

Everyone’s against you.

No one likes you.

You have to fight back.

Others who are like you will have to fight back with you.

Gather around: the outlook is not a perspective: it is a religion, a religious obligation; and constitutionally supported.

The truth is as it is made out — The polio vaccine was fake.  ” . . . Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan, said the organisations in question “are operating with support from the United States, Israel and India” (from Wilson Chowdhry’s piece).

Assorted Suggested Lookups: Civilizational Narcissism; Narcissistic Personality Disorder; Paranoid Personality Disorder; Facsimile Bipolar Political Sociopathy; etc.

That Christian missions and press spoil against their Islamic counterparts holds no surprise, but what presumably educated adults in Pakistan are willing to do to children, their own or others, beneath the cover of paranoid conspiracy theories and socially lauded hate, surpasses cruelty.

The greater story — what may be found as one rises above an animosity that is as medieval as it may be parochial — is that other Pakistanis, including other elements in governance, are again struggling to save children from Poliomyelitis.
