Despite existing commitments to be sanctuaries for migrants, reports indicate that some city officials are feeling the strain and pushback from their constituents who are affected by the influx of new residents.

The return of right-oriented candidates, as seen in recent elections, underscores a growing discontent with current immigration policies.
