John,
Many communities across the country have adopted so-called sanctuary policies intended to ensure we all live in safe neighborhoods.
These policies allow immigrants to work with local law enforcement to report and investigate crimes—without fear of retribution or deportation.
The government now intends to deploy immigration SWAT teams [[link removed]] to communities with sanctuary policies. And attacks on sanctuary policies are expected to intensify this year.
Here are four facts from the American Immigration Council’s fact sheet on sanctuary policies [[link removed]] that you should know:
1.
Fed
eral
actions
intended
to
force
local
jurisdictions
to
perform
immigration
enforcement
are
likely
unconstitutional.
2.
Sanctuary
jurisdictions
are
safer
and
more
economically
vibrant
than
non-sanctuary
jurisdictions.
3.
Sanctuary
jurisdictions
comply
with
federal
law.
4.
Sanctuary
jurisdictions
share
information
with
federal
immigration
authorities
and
do
not
shield
immigrants
from
deportation.

The public debate around sanctuary policies should be driven by the facts and a desire to support a safer society. Our nation is more secure when people believe they can trust law enforcement. The government’s escalation will erode that trust.
We should focus on inclusive and lawful policies—not targeting sanctuary communities. No person, home, or community should be put at risk in the name of another’s security.
Sincerely,

Policy Director
