VANCE: TRUMP CAN ‘DELIVER SECURITY IN OUR STREETS’ BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Surrounded by local law enforcement and airing his intent to “back the blue,” Republican vice presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. JD Vance stopped by the Shelby Township Police Department Aug. 7 to pitch Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign platform on crime, immigration and more. During Vance’s speech, he delivered sharp attacks on the Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he called “border czar.” The Ohio senator accused Harris of wanting to make it harder for police to do their job, and he blamed her for criminals entering via the U.S. southern border. In contrast, Vance said former President Trump deported “illegal aliens,” partially built a border wall and “did not grant mass amnesty.” Vance urged voters to help law enforcement by giving them a federal government that makes it easier for them to keep Americans safe. “I’d ask you to vote for a candidate who wants to support our police officers, not make their lives harder,” he said. “I’d ask you to support a candidate who wants to make it easier to deport illegal aliens and not harder. I’d ask you to support the candidate who has shown that he can deliver security in our streets. “We just have to give him the opportunity to govern, and that’s President Donald J. Trump.”

Before Vance spoke, Shelby Township police Chief Robert Shelide said his department has faced three cases over the past few months that involved suspects who illegally entered the U.S. “Two of those acts have been horrific, and the third involved an illegal Venezuelan who shot a coworker and has now since fled the state of Michigan,” Shelide said. “Public safety is everyone’s business, and we need leader-
