Park Council Votes to Remain Immigrant Sanctuary
posted 8:14 am Tue October 30, 2007 - TAKOMA PARK, Md.


Takoma Park wants to steer away of the examples set by other nearby counties that are cracking down on immigrants.

The town council voted to unanimously to reaffirm the town's status as a "sanctuary city," that does not allow police to enforce federal immigration laws. The vote came two weeks after the council denied the police chief's request for more flexibility in executing immigration warrants only if police come upon deported felons.

Takoma Park has been known as an independent and liberal jurisdiction - even allowing residents who are not U.S. citizens to vote in municipal elections.
