Ted Cruz on Tuesday called for law enforcement to be empowered to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods. The call on Tuesday was in response to the terror attack in Belgium. According to POLITICO, the Cruz campaign said this would be no different than what police are doing now in neighborhoods targeted by police for gang activity.

“We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.”

"We know what is happening with these isolated Muslim neighborhoods in Europe," Cruz campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart elaborated in an email. "If we want to prevent it from happening here, it is going to require an empowered, visible law enforcement presence that will both identify problem spots and partner with non-radical Americans who want to protect their homes," she wrote.

"Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies all have divisions that target threats like drugs, gangs, human trafficking, and organized crime. Radical Islamic terrorism is a significant and growing threat in this country, but this administration refuses to recognize it because they are afraid of being labeled 'politically incorrect.' ... The police should have every tool available to follow leads and take action against those who would do us harm."
