In Chicago, the Scaling Community Violence Intervention for a Safer Chicago (SC2) initiative has been announced, with a focused aim to cut gun violence by half within five years. The strategy, which involves a public-private partnership, seeks to raise $400 million to fund this effort. Government officials, including CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling, Governor Pritzker, and Chicago's Mayor, joined CVI groups and business leaders to unveil the plan. The initiative will also significantly expand outreach in Chicago's most crime-afflicted neighborhoods.
I'm in Harrisburg with the @PAStatePolice and local law enforcement to talk about my Stop Fentanyl at the Border Act. The fentanyl being smuggled into the U.S. makes it harder for our police to keep our communities safe. This bill helps law enforcement combat the fentanyl crisis. https://t.co/pJ3P0xE5TZ
It’s going to take every part of our community working together to fight the fentanyl crisis. I’m working directly with #MN02 law enforcement, small business owners & advocates to ensure the necessary resources are available to the folks that need them. https://t.co/onOuCdCoMw
We cannot allow criminals to smuggle deadly fentanyl across our southern border. My CHECKPOINT Act takes big steps to prevent this and I'm glad it passed committee with bipartisan support. https://t.co/kLbpQ6VQ1Y

A new unified approach to combat Chicago violence aims to reduce shootings by 50% within the next five years and to roughly quadruple outreach in the most crime-stricken neighborhoods. https://t.co/CJTFpFNZrX
My Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act is as straightforward as it sounds. This bill would use money seized from the drug cartels to finish the border wall, keep deadly fentanyl out of our rural communities, and save lives. #IA04
