Immigration Restrictions: Law Enforcement and Executive Orders

immigration restrictions: Another U.S.-Mexico border state, California, is moving in the opposite direction by advancing a statewide sanctuary that would prohibit law enforcement in the nation's most populous state from co-operating with federal immigration authorities, according to CTV. Trump's recent executive orders threatening to withhold federal funding from communities with sanctuary policies and calling for a border wall have produced widespread protests and fears that more immigration restrictions are in the future. In Texas, Republican lawmakers pushed to deny money to cities with the policies on Thursday as demonstrators disrupted a hearing several times. The president's supporters have hailed the efforts. There's no official definition, but often they tell police not to inquire about the immigration status of those they arrest or they decline requests from immigration officials to keep defendants in custody while they await deportation. Cities have mostly taken up sanctuary laws. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
