my dad is a city councilor in northampton, MA and last night they passed a unanimous resolution to opt out of "secure communities." what's more, they passed a "sanctuary" resolution that reads:
"“Municipal employees of Northampton, including law enforcement employees, shall not monitor, stop, detain, question, interrogate, or search a person for the purpose of determining that individual’s immigration status. Officers shall not inquire about the immigration status of any crime victim, witness, or suspect, unless such information is directly relevant to the investigation, nor shall they refer such information to federal immigration enforcement authorities unless the information developed is directly relevant.”
rock on, dad!
