Cyril Jefferson

“Cyril is standing with fellow mayors across the country calling on Congress to condition any new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding on clear, enforceable guardrails: CBP and ICE agents must be clearly identifiable (no masks), body-worn cameras must be used, entries must require judicial warrants, and sensitive places like schools and hospitals must be protected. Law enforcement and constitutional rights are not competing goals.”

“Any agency with the authority to detain and use force should meet the highest standards for training, transparency, and accountability.”

“As a member of Congress, Cyril will raise those standards at the federal level. He believes ICE must be overhauled. If professionalism and restraint are expected of local departments, federal agencies should meet the same—if not higher—standards.
