Reuters reports that Latinos in Los Angeles have lodged 41 fewer reports of rape—down 25 percent—and 118 fewer domestic violence complaints—a 10 percent drop—since January 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, Police Chief Charlie Beck said on Tuesday. Those declines, coinciding with President Trump’s vow to step up deportations of undocumented immigrants, were not seen in the crime reporting of other ethnic groups. The trend suggests a growing mistrust of the criminal justice system among Latinos as the Trump administration has pressed state and local law enforcement to assist U.S. immigration agents, the Los Angeles Police Department stated

Over the last two weeks, DOS Secretary Rex Tillerson issued four cables that offer insight into how the government is implementing President Trump’s so-called “extreme vetting” measures for non-citizens entering the United States. Among other things, one cable contains guidance for implementing Section 2 of the March 6, 2017, Presidential Memorandum regarding protocols and procedures for enhanced screening and vetting of visa applications. That same cable also directs working groups to identify “populations warranting increased scrutiny,” and orders a “mandatory social media check” for all applicants who have ever been present in territory controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS).
