The leaders of local-government “sanctuaries” asked President Obama to further shield illegal aliens before leaving office. Working under a group New York Mayor Bill de Blasio created, Cities for Action, the leaders asked Obama to front-load work permit extensions for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and to extend Temporary Protected Status for illegal aliens residing in the United States.
Media reports say the Cities for Action organization is comprised of about 100 city and county leaders that advocate sanctuary policies for illegal aliens, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. 31 leaders from the group wrote Obama an open letter urging more protections for illegal aliens before Donald Trump assumes the presidency.
