“Our sole focus is keeping our community safe and you know, we work with all of our law enforcement partners and this is just another example. If folks come into our country illegally, they’re victimizing our community, by you know, stealing from our shops and businesses, and so, it’s hurting our community,” said Collierville Chief of Police Dale Lane.
