Liberal Lingo: 'Sanctuary Cities'American Thinker, Dec 4, 2017, Tom Trinko
A sanctuary is a place where people can go to be safe. Generally speaking we think of good people going to sanctuaries to escape evil; some Jews found sanctuary from the Holocaust in England and the United States, for example
<snip>
The only people who get sanctuary in “Sanctuary Cities†are criminals. ...
But what local governments can do is shield illegals who commit additional crimes in the US from being deported. “Sanctuary Cities†do so by preventing the police from notifying ICE when an illegal has been arrested for a crime. Historically the police would notify ICE, ICE would go to the police station and conduct a safe -- for the illegal and the community -- transfer to ICE so that the criminal could be deported.
