Sanctuary policies are ordinances, resolutions, executive actions or any initiatives that prohibit local officials from inquiring, acting on, or reporting an individual’s immigration status\u2014even when there is reasonable suspicion that an individual is in the country illegally.<\/p>\n Both bills must now be voted on by the full House of Representatives. Call your Representatives today and tell them to support HB 1148 and HB 453! The House is likely to schedule the vote for early next week.<\/strong><\/p>\n Tell these elected officials that cooperating with federal immigration authorities and complying with immigration detainers is smart public policy.
