Republicans target 4 ‘sanctuary’ cities as Trump pushes mass deportations

LA Times  

Republicans in Congress are taking aim at four cities — often called “sanctuary cities” — over their policies limiting cooperation with immigration enforcement with a hearing this week that comes as President Trump presses ahead with his campaign of mass deportations. Here’s a look at the immigration policies and migration trends of the cities whose mayors will appear Wednesday: Boston The city’s Trust Act generally restricts how much the police can cooperate with ICE, although it does allow some cooperation with a division called Homeland Security Investigations when it comes to such issues as combating human trafficking or drug and weapons trafficking. Chicago Chicago has some of the country’s strongest immigrant protections, barring cooperation between federal agents and city employees, including police. But Adams wants to roll back policies prohibiting city employees from working with immigration enforcement, saying he wants to “remove dangerous people from our streets.” He’s also called on the City Council to make changes allowing New York to honor ICE detainer requests to hold people in jails beyond their release dates.
