While New York remains a sanctuary city, the DOJ announcement is leaving many migrants fearful of what might come next for their families. "Children should go to school. Those who need health care should go to hospitals," he said. "Those who are involved in any type of interaction, where they're victims of a crime, they should speak to law enforcement agencies. We've maintained that over and over again. And we are going to stand up for all New Yorkers, documented, and undocumented," Adams said.
Thursday, President Trump could sign his first piece of legislation cleared in Congress Wednesday requiring federal authorities to detain undocumented immigrants not just for felony crimes but also minor offenses.There is similar messaging in cities like Bridgeport, Connecticut, where community organizations are formulating plans to best protect and advise individuals.
