@harpsicordelia @claudsDC We disagree. So do most of our residents—including the great majority of immigrant residents w/ whom I’ve discussed the issue. Immigrants are disproportionately victimized by violence, & many have told me they would rather not have violent felons back in their neighborhood — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC ICE already has access to arrest and conviction records at courts. So, they can either pick violent felons up at the jail, or they can go into our neighborhoods to terrify our otherwise law-abiding undocumented neighbors. I’d much rather that ICE stayed out of our neighborhoods — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC Actually, deportation decisions are made by administrative law judges by far lower standards of evidence (preponderance & clear & convincing) than required in a criminal proceeding (beyond reasonable doubt). US Supreme Court has upheld that approach for many decades — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC Absolutely, I stand by all of them. SJPD doesn’t need to be communicating with ICE—it’s a decision for the County jail. Doesn’t involve anyone policing in the community. My undocumented neighbors have nothing to fear b/c overwhelmingly, they don’t commit violent felonies. — PolitiTweet.org

For today's update, I'll talk about the City's budget deficit & the upcoming Budget Town Hall (https://t.co/xp63FOciKL). Plus, I'll dive into San José Water company's proposed rate hikes & resources for help w/ utility bills (https://t.co/dMYBj8HLQ7). https://t.co/ETN3m1DJQx — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC No, i don’t. Because that’s false. But SJPD Chief Garcia & I did urge that County authorities treat arrestees who have previously committed violent felonies differently from nonviolent undoc’d arrestees, which could have prevented 3 homicides in those 2 instances alone — PolitiTweet.org

A decade ago, Claudia Flores was a brilliant student intern in our council office. Now she’s a champion of #ImmigrationReform i& leading the charge nationally—please see her op-ed in Newsweek. Go @claudsDC! https://t.co/rxOTdnRpBO — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@BellaPunjabi @SenAlexPadilla I support the right of anyone to peacefully protest against their government, & condemn any acts of violence by the Modi administration. I’m not in a position, though, to understand what is happening in the ground—or the government’s halt of farm subsidies—to say much more. — PolitiTweet.org

@21st_ctryfire @Change @SanJoseStrong1 Today, the Rules Committee will consider my demand that we have their executives explain the rationale for rate hikes in public, and respond to questions of the Council and public. We will decide whether to challenge their rate case in the days ahead — PolitiTweet.org

@JessicaDavisMUA I’m neither the decision maker nor the expert. The health authorities are at the county and the state. I would expect, based on medical studies I’ve seen, that the safety declines with age—particularly over the age of 10 — PolitiTweet.org

@_CandyWife @PeteButtigieg @USDOT @bidenbuttigieg1 I didn’t mention it. — PolitiTweet.org

We should walk a little prouder upon the Senate confirmation of @PeteButtigieg as @USDOT Secretary. As a former colleague, I know Pete to be a tremendous leader serving our nation at a critical moment @bidenbuttigieg1 https://t.co/7HB0tNOBLg — PolitiTweet.org

@WHuckable @CityofSanJose Not interested in rewriting history. I’m also not interested in spending scarce city resources repairing a statue and having police officers spending time defending it. We need to focus our resources on our current crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

For today's update, I'll touch on vaccines (https://t.co/TD5L5v5g98), testing (https://t.co/72Nlyg07JV), the eviction moratorium (https://t.co/Ohn4nfLCmi), and relief programs for small biz + nonprofits impacted by COVID-19 (https://t.co/phzpZYpWfP). https://t.co/U2MHJIvOwn — PolitiTweet.org

@SJsharksfan_44 @SanJoseSharks @Burnzie88 Alissa, neither Google nor the City are seeking to have the Sharks leave. We’ve been in very long discussions with them to help them continue to thrive here, and we’ll continue to do so. Thanks for your thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

@MissSauv Nothing planned. FAA is rumored to be requiring as much, because it has consistently demanded that no people live in the designated zone w/in the flight path. We have not yet received anything from FAA, so I have nothing to report at this point. I have discouraged sweeps there — PolitiTweet.org

@MattNegrin Being spineless is not the same as being a “sympathizer” — Hutchinson is no profile in courage here, but he’s not expressing any allegiance to her views. I don’t think he’s sensible or a sympathizer—he’s spineless. — PolitiTweet.org

@personopolis @buildingsanjose The fact that he proposed it doesn’t mean it gets done—it’s a proposal. I proposed upzoning single family lots near commercial & transit corridors a while ago, but we have a task force convened to adjust our general plan, so we should use it as part of community conversation — PolitiTweet.org
