SAN FRANCISCO (KRON)– President Trump’s campaign focused largely on promises to deport illegal immigrants and more aggressive border patrol tactics, such as building a wall to separate the U.S. and Mexico.
The looming fear of possibly being deported prevents some undocumented immigrants from reporting a crime.
KRON4 reporter, Maureen Kelly, spoke with an 18-year-old undocumented man who said he would be reluctant to report a crime if he was a victim or witness.
The Consulate General of Mexico and the District Attorney of San Francisco signed a renewal of a memorandum of understanding outlining ways both agencies will work collaboratively to protect witnesses or victims of crime.
