Just a clarification- sanctuary cities simply means they are going to use local funds to support and enforce local laws and regulations. Federal funds should be used for federal laws and regulations, such as immigration. They aren’t saying they’re a safe haven for immigrants, they’re saying that they’re not going to arrest someone solely for being an undocumented immigrant and hold them for who knows how long for ICE to show up and deport them, spending lots of resources on someone who isn’t actually a danger to the community.
