Boston City Council Votes 13-0 to Reaffirm Sanctuary Status Under Trust Act
Dec 5, 2024, 04:56 PM
The Boston City Council has unanimously voted 13-0 to reaffirm the city’s sanctuary status, maintaining its designation as a sanctuary city under the Trust Act. The council's decision reinforces policies that limit cooperation between Boston police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on deportation matters. This move comes ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, signaling the city’s continued commitment to protecting undocumented immigrants. The reaffirmation of the Trust Act underscores Boston’s stance on prioritizing local policies over federal immigration enforcement.
