Part 5/8:
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, representing New York, expressed outrage and placed blame squarely on the current administration and state laws that favor sanctuary city policies. She emphasized that until the issue of illegal immigration is effectively addressed, similar violent acts will likely continue to occur. Tenney’s comments engaged with a larger narrative about public safety in urban areas, effectively drawing a comparison between the destructive actions of criminals and those of citizens willing to defend themselves, like Daniel Penny, who was acquitted after intervening in a violent situation.
