New Orleans: How The Crescent City Became A Sanctuary City

On February 28, 2016, New Orleans Police Department issued a written policy, entitled "Immigration Status," which, number one, prohibits officers from inquiring about an individual's immigration status; number two, prohibits officers from assisting or supporting ICE'S immigration enforcement; and number three, mandates any ICE request for support or assistance be declined. The New Orleans Police Department policy was not only vetted but, "enthusiastically" approved and supported by DOJ's Civil Rights Division. It was also reviewed and approved by DHS. The Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security approve and support failure of law enforcement to take note of Federal immigration laws. The New Orleans policy statement appears to violate section 8 U.S.C. code, 1373, which provides no person or agency may prohibit or restrict a Federal, State, or local agency from sending, requesting, receiving, or exchanging information with ICE regarding unlawfully present aliens.
