Several city and state leaders across the U.S. are actively resisting federal demands to alter or eliminate sanctuary policies aimed at protecting undocumented immigrants. Cities like Boston, Denver, and Rochester have firmly stated their intentions to maintain these policies, with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu emphasizing that the city will not comply with federal orders. Various governors, including Jared Polis of Colorado and Bob Ferguson of Washington, have publicly rejected threats from Attorney General Pam Bondi, asserting their commitment to sanctuary laws. As tensions rise, local officials call for autonomy over immigration policies, with many expressing indignation at what they perceive as federal overreach. The growing legal and political battle continues as cities defy deadlines set by the DOJ to alter their immigration enforcement practices.
