This updated report, written by Lynn Tramonte, responds to those who claim some cities are providing “sanctuary” to unauthorized immigrants and seek to abolish their community policing policies. As the report describes, some cities have implemented community policing policies that prevent police agencies from asking community residents who have not been arrested to prove their legal immigration status. Based on the tenets of community policing, these policies make it safe for immigrant crime victims and witnesses to report criminals to the police and help put them behind bars. However, these policies do not provide sanctuary to anyone; police in these cities have the authority to arrest criminals regardless of immigration status, and they already work with DHS to identify immigrant criminals.
