The Trump administration is saying they are keeping the U.S. safe from illegal immigrant rapists, murderers and drug dealers. What are state and local authorities doing about the homegrown American rapists, murderers and drug dealers? Remember Luigi Mangioni, Tyler Robinson and Matthew Crooks?

The suspected homegrown local drug dealer who delivered drugs to my son (Drug Delivery Resulting in Death, 2506) is walking around free. Possibly as an informant. How is that keeping us safe? I feel my son was labeled the criminal when I was told by the police, “Your son chose to take those drugs.” And the dealer is the victim, because “someone could have stolen his phone and put those messages on there.”

Also, a local police chief gets only 15 months in prison for dealing drugs. What is happening in Westmoreland County?

There is no such thing as closure when you lose a child. I need answers.
