Well, they passed the sanctuary laws. From chatGPT:
As of February 2025, several major cities and states in the United States have
adopted sanctuary policies, limiting cooperation with federal immigration
enforcement to protect undocumented individuals. These policies vary by
jurisdiction but generally aim to foster trust between immigrant communities
and local authorities.
Major Sanctuary Cities:
• New York City, New York: Maintains policies restricting local law enforcement
from inquiring about immigration status and limits cooperation with federal
immigration authorities.
• Los Angeles, California: Operates under Special Order 40, preventing police
officers from initiating contact solely to determine immigration status.
• Chicago, Illinois: Enforces the “Welcoming City Ordinance,” which prohibits
city agencies from inquiring about immigration status or cooperating with ICE.
• San Francisco, California: Declared itself a sanctuary city in 1989, with
ordinances limiting local enforcement of federal immigration laws.
• Seattle, Washington: Adopted policies that restrict city employees from
inquiring about immigration status and limit information sharing with federal
authorities.
• Denver, Colorado: Enacted ordinances to protect undocumented immigrants by
restricting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
• Boston, Massachusetts: Operates under the Trust Act, limiting city
cooperation with federal immigration detainers.
• Portland, Oregon: Has a long-standing sanctuary status, with policies
preventing city employees from assisting federal immigration enforcement.
Sanctuary States:
• California: Enacted the “California Values Act” (SB 54) in 2017, limiting
state and local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration
authorities.
• Colorado: Passed laws restricting state and local resources from being used
for federal immigration enforcement.
• Connecticut: Implemented the TRUST Act, which limits law enforcement’s
cooperation with ICE detainer requests.
• Illinois: Adopted the TRUST Act, preventing local law enforcement from
detaining individuals based on immigration status without a warrant.
• New Jersey: Issued the Immigrant Trust Directive, directing law enforcement
agencies to limit assistance with federal immigration enforcement.
• New York: Enacted the “Green Light Law,” allowing undocumented individuals to
obtain driver’s licenses and limiting data sharing with immigration authorities.
• Oregon: Has a state law prohibiting the use of state and local resources to
enforce federal immigration laws if the individual’s only violation is being in
the country unlawfully.
• Washington: Passed the “Keep Washington Working Act,” promoting policies that
limit immigration enforcement and protect immigrant rights.
chatGPT provides about nine references on this entry but I haven't figured out
how to copy and paste.
