A sanctuary city is a term used to describe a city or municipality that has adopted certain policies to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities in order to protect and support undocumented immigrants. These policies vary from city to city but commonly include measures like prohibiting local law enforcement from inquiring about a person's immigration status, limiting the sharing of immigration information with federal agencies, and preventing the use of public resources for immigration enforcement activities. The aim is to establish a safe and inclusive environment for all residents, regardless of their immigration status.
