State Sanctuary Policies
Sanctuary Policies Across America
REPORT BY FAIR'S STATE AND LOCAL DEPARTMENT | JANUARY 2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cooperation between federal, state, and local governments is the cornerstone of effective immigration enforcement. State and local law enforcement officers are often the last line of defense against criminal aliens, and are far more likely to encounter illegal aliens during routine job activities than are federal agents. As such, the ability of state and local law enforcement and other government officials to freely cooperate and communicate with federal immigration authorities is not just important – but essential – to the enforcement of our immigration laws.
