Refusing to cooperate with ICEWhen cities declare sanctuary status, they’re mostly invoking a separation ordinance. A city separation ordinance directs city employees, including police, not to inquire about the immigration status of anyone who has not been convicted of a crime. We want everyone to call the police when they are the victim of or witness to a crime without fear they will be asked about their immigration status. Our staff—including our police officers—will not ask for proof of immigration status. Welcome and solidarityRegardless of city sanctuary policies, communities are finding creative ways to offer support to undocumented immigrants.
