Sanctuary Policy Is Bad Public Policy
FACT SHEET | JULY 2016 | DOWNLOAD THE PDF
What are sanctuary policies?
Sanctuary policies are laws, ordinances, resolutions, executive actions, or any initiatives that prohibit local officials from inquiring, acting on, or reporting an individual's immigration status—even when there is reasonable suspicion that an individual is in the country illegally. Many sanctuary policies restrict law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal immigration officials, including prohibiting their compliance with immigration detainers. The U.S. is currently home to more than 300 sanctuary jurisdictions.
Why should state and local leaders oppose them?
