Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claimed for law enforcement spending — verifiable against state budget records.
What we foundThe ~$4 billion figure is real but describes broad public safety spending, not exclusively law enforcement support, and the administration's own language consistently qualifies it as 'nearly' $4 billion, not a full $4 billion.
