In light of President-elect Trump’s plans for mass deportations, sanctuary cities in Los Angeles and Arizona are adopting ordinances to protect undocumented immigrants. Los Angeles has passed a new law that prohibits city resources from being used for immigration enforcement, while Arizona voters approved Proposition 314, making unauthorized border crossings a state crime. Activists express concern about the potential consequences of these measures on immigrant communities, as Trump’s administration signals an aggressive approach to immigration enforcement. Experts highlight the dichotomy of public sentiment regarding immigration laws and their complex implications.
