Tito Jackson wants Boston to become sanctuary for undocumented immigrants
City Councilor Tito Jackson wants to make Boston a sanctuary city in defiance of President-elect Donald Trump’s insistence that he will deport up to 3 million “criminal” illegal aliens as soon as he takes office.
Trump’s plan was revealed last night in a “60 Minutes” interview in which he pledged to act fast on his immigration agenda.
“I believe the city of Boston should not assist or cooperate with the mass deportations of immigrants. That’s not who our city is, and it’s not what our tax dollars should be used for,” Jackson told the Herald last night. “Boston has to lead in this space.”
As a sanctuary city, Jackson said, Boston could frustrate a major sweep of illegal immigrants by barring local law enforcement from initiating or participating in deportation actions.
