@thegreencardlawyer: Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox has reaffirmed the department’s stance against enforcing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. This means that the Boston Police Department won’t notify ICE before releasing immigrants arrested on criminal charges, nor will they temporarily hold them for ICE pickup. Commissioner Cox emphasizes that public safety is the department’s primary focus, not immigration enforcement. He believes enforcing detainers would undermine trust within the community and prevent undocumented immigrants from reporting crimes or cooperating with police. This stance aligns with Boston’s status as a “sanctuary city,” where local resources aren’t used to enforce federal immigration laws. However, Tom Homan, known as the ‘border czar’ within the Trump administration, is unhappy with the city’s policy on sanctuary cities and the police commissioner’s refusal to cooperate with ICE. #boston #akpokulaw #akpoku #attorneyatlaw #trump #massdeportations #usa #usimmigration #usimmigrationlaw
