This chilling effect leaves,'-4 Pcities less safe for everyone." Sanctuary policies allow local governments to create a "spiral of trust" that fosters communications between government officials and immigrants, reduces social sEPisolation and cynicism toward government, and increases neighborhood attachment. This social sEPcohesion ' has been associated with reduced violence and greater�sEP stability, which makes communities generally safer for all.'L7 It is well-documented that as immigration enforcement and the threat of deportation'-c increase, the likelihood of undocumented immigrants reporting crimes decreases significantly. a 013 survey, for example, 67% of undocumented individuals reported that they wer LF ss ,SEPlikely to offer formation to law en rcement As a witness i they feared offic rs d inquire :sEPabout their or others' i gration status.
