NYPD will not attend Trump speech on MS-13 gang in Long Island

[spanone]

The New York Police Department will not attend President Trump's major law enforcement and immigration policy speech in Long Island, N.Y. on Friday, where he plans to lay out the administration's plan to defeat the MS-13 gang.

“We have a lot to do, a lot of work to do in New York City,” said Police Commissioner James O’Neill on Friday.

The commissioner's jurisdiction of New York does not extend to all of Long Island, where the meeting on gang violence is taking place. It is not clear if the NYPD would have been expected to attend the event.

New York is a sanctuary city, and Trump's speech is expected to take a hard line on the link between immigration enforcement and the rise of gang-related crime.

You will have to forgive me if I don't put a lot of stock in this. Glad they did it but there is a ton of work to do.
