The Clash Between Sanctuary Cities and Federal Immigration Enforcement

The issue of illegal immigration continues to spark intense debate across the United States, particularly in the context of sanctuary cities. These municipalities have implemented policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, resulting in legal conflicts that raise crucial questions about governance and enforcement.

What Is a Sanctuary City?

While there is no universally accepted definition of a sanctuary city, the term generally refers to local governments that restrict their collaboration with federal immigration enforcement. This may include limiting the ability of federal authorities to enlist local police or utilize local detention facilities for immigration enforcement purposes.
