Liberal mayors across the United States have vowed to keep their sanctuary city policies intact. Mayors of New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Providence spoke out in defiance of a possible nationwide, anti-sanctuary city law.
President-Elect Donald Trump has vowed to removed criminal illegal aliens from the U.S. immediately and pledged to get a law passed banning sanctuary cities during his campaign. This has Democrat mayors pledging to stand in defiance.
The President-Elect reaffirmed his insistence that the rule of law be enforced in an interview last Sunday on CBS’ 60 Minutes. During the interview Mr. Trump said he will move forward with plans to deport criminals and secure the border, the Associated Press reported.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, “Chicago always will be a sanctuary city,” NPR reported. “To all those who are, after Tuesday’s election, very nervous and filled with anxiety … you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago.” His comments come in the face of the city’s massive crime and murder rates.
The mayor of Seattle, Ed Murray, told reporters on Monday, “The last thing I want is for us to start turning on our neighbors.”
Jessica Vaughn, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, defended the possible anti-sanctuary city policy as a means of removing criminals from the country. She said that sanctuary city policies put Americans at risk. “The result is people who should be deported, who have come to the attention of police because of crime, are released back into the community,” she told the AP.
